DepositNotification

  • During account opening, we support deposit notifications for Checks OR Wires. Our New Accounts team prioritizes applications that are already funded, so we encourage users to include funding instructions in the Application.

    • CHECK: The request is indicating a check deposit notification. The client still needs to send the physical check to IBKR. The deposit notification is used by IBKR to match the deposited funds to the account.

    • WIRE: The request is indicating a wire deposit notification. The client still needs to contact their bankto initiate the transfer. The deposit notification is used by IBKR to match the deposited funds to the account.For list of wire instructions by currency, please contact dam@ibkr.com.
