The hold period between the time when a deposit reaches IBKR and is available for trading varies by deposit method and is not eliminated or reduced for subsequent deposits even if those deposits originate from the same bank or brokerage account. These hold periods are intended to protect against fraud and error in addition to the delivering institution’s rights to reclaim the assets without IBKR’s consent. As IBKR has no control over unauthorized access or fraudulent activity involving a client’s account held with another financial institution, hold periods do not vary by deposit frequency..
