Legal Notes

  • IB calculates interest on credit and debit cash balances using daily rates applied to end-of-day settled cash balances. The interest methods conform to international standards. To access the actual benchmarks used and the current effective rates on credit balances, debit balances, and credit balances as the result of short stock positions please refer to our website www.interactivebrokers.com.

  • The market values/prices used to compute the Net Liquidation Value in the account, and/or to compute the account's Margin Requirements, may be determined in Interactive's sole discretion and may differ from the values/prices disseminated by exchanges or other market data sources. In particular, Interactive may use a valuation methodology more conservative than the marketplace as a whole and this may effectively constitute a higher "house" margin requirement.
