What does the transfer rejection message "Account Violates Credit Policy at IBKR" mean?

The message “Account Violates Credit Policy at IBKR” typically applies when a transfer does not hold sufficient equity to support positions/deficits presented in a transfer. 

IBKR performs a check upon receipt of the list of assets to be delivered.  Common reasons for a violation include:

  • Cash accounts receiving a deficit balance (usually due to transfer fees charged by the delivering firm) or a short position(s); or
  • Account receiving unsupported (or insufficiently supported) assets.

Please contact IBKR to obtain clarity on the reason for rejection to determine how to address.
