Does the Merger affect the products I can hold or trade and/or the services available to me?

As an IBIE Client, you can access and trade the same products/services that were available at IBCE, as well as some additional products/services. Specifically:

  • IBIE clients can trade OTC Spot Metals (Gold and Silver).
  • IBIE clients can hold 24 currencies, compared to the 10 currencies offered by IBCE. As you can hold all trading currencies in your IBIE account, there is no auto-FX back to your base currency in IBIE on sell orders in those currencies.
    • Please see the IBIE Customer Agreement for further details on the application of auto-FX to accounts that are not margin enabled.
  • IBIE pays interest on your cash balances so your current IBCE CYEP program will no longer apply.
