This profile includes legacy information. Current fees, platforms, operating status and regulatory permissions require checking directly. We have not assigned a current rating.

Interactive Brokers provides a broad trading and currency-conversion ecosystem. Distinguish ordinary currency conversion from leveraged forex trading, which has its own permissions and eligibility requirements. Its platform depth benefits from a careful demo and order-entry walkthrough.

Platforms & account model

Interactive Brokers is listed with TWS, IBKR Desktop. Confirm the platform available to your account and country before registering.

The agreement determines which company provides your account, which instruments you can trade and the applicable protections. Do not assume that every entity in a broker group offers identical terms.

Costs worth checking

Compare spreads, commission, overnight financing and conversion costs together. Check whether a commission is per side or round turn and whether inactivity or withdrawal charges apply. An advertised minimum spread is not a measured average.
