A "notice of unconfirmed position transfer" message is sent to you if IBKR received a delivery of securities to your account for which you have not created an inbound transfer request in Client Portal to notify us about the expected delivery.
There is nothing for you to do if you expected to receive those securities (quantity and security identifier must be accurate). However, if you did not expect the delivery of those securities you must contact Interactive Brokers immediately to reverse the transaction through the Message Center. From the Message Center create a new inquiry ticket and please select Funds & Banking as the ticket category followed by Position Transfers and type "Incorrect Position Transfer" as the subject.
To minimize confusion on future transfers, please provide IBKR with prior notification of the transfer via the Transfer & Pay menu followed by Transfer Positions in Client Portal. Providing prior notification of a transfer facilitates matching the transfer to your account and helps reduce transaction delays or errors.
Note
- IBKR reserves the right to reverse this transaction should you fail to contact us in case the delivery of securities was not intended for your account or if the delivering broker subsequently notifies us that it was made in error. Any such reversal may reduce your equity below the amount which is required to remain margin compliant, which may result in an automatic liquidation of positions in your account.
- Clients will be held liable for actions they may take (e.g., withdrawals, transfers, loans, sales) to convert balances which are later determined to have been credited to their account in error.
