Professional broker overview
FindMyFX editorial summary
Interactive Brokers LLC is a US electronic broker listed by NFA under ID 0258600 and by FINRA under CRD 36418 and SEC number 8-47257. Its official site offers spot currencies alongside stocks, options, futures, bonds and funds, with a commission-based spot-FX schedule and quotes sourced from multiple FX dealers. The group discloses regulated affiliates in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan and Singapore; product availability differs by affiliate. In September 2023, the CFTC ordered Interactive Brokers Corporation and Interactive Brokers LLC to pay a USD 20 million penalty for recordkeeping and supervision failures involving unapproved communications.
Prepared from reviewed sources for informational purposes. This is not investment advice.
Editorial note: The available products, investor-compensation arrangements and currency-trading permissions vary by affiliate; for example, the official site states that spot currencies are not available through the Singapore entity. FindMyFX did not assess every country-specific account schedule.
