Enter ACH Deposit

Instructions

Automated Clearing House (ACH) deposits/withdrawals may be made to your IBKR account from and to your bank. The method referred to as ‘Link a New Bank Account’ means your transfer request will be automatically processed through a message sent to your bank by IBKR. Prior to using this method, you will need to create a standing instruction through Transfer & Pay which authorizes IBKR and your bank to electronically transfer funds between the two accounts. You will be asked to verify your bank in one of two ways:

  • Enter your banking information - You will be asked to enter your bank account number and routing number for instant verification. If we cannot verify the account is in your name, we will issue test transactions in the form of small debit and credit amounts to your bank account.

    • This request does not actually move your funds.

  • Log in at your bank - You will be asked to select your bank and enter your username and password to verify your credentials immediately.

    • This request does not actually move your funds.

Once established, this transfer method can be used for future deposit and withdrawal requests.

  • IBKR does not charge any fee for ACH deposits and accounts are afforded one free withdrawal request per month.

  • ACH deposits are subject to a possible 4 business day credit hold after arrival prior to being credited to your account.

  • If funds are withdrawn to a bank other than the originating bank, a 44-business day withdrawal hold period will be applied.

Note: Clients must have two-factor authentication enabled in order to connect their bank via ACH.
