ISA Money Bag

EXPANDED OFFERING

Invest for Your Future with a Stocks and Shares ISA and Junior ISA (JISA)

If you are a U.K. resident for tax purposes and at least age 18, you can open a Stock and Shares Individual Savings Account (ISA). ISAs offer a tax-efficient opportunity to save up to £20,000 each tax year (April 6 to April 5). By HMRC rules (subject to change), income earned is tax-free, as are any gains when you sell your investments.

Our Junior ISA functions similarly to the Stock and Shares ISA but is intended for those under age 18. The maximum investment for a Junior ISA in a tax year is £9,000. If you are a parent or guardian of a junior (under age 18), you can open a Junior ISA for them and then anyone can contribute to the JISA. JISA contributions are tax free and can hold a broad range of products.

There is no minimum deposit needed to open an ISA or a JISA account, although you must fund your account in GBP, as mandated by HMRC ISA rules.

Your eligible assets are protected from loss under the US Securities Investor Protection Corporation at an amount of up to USD 500,000 (subject to a cash sub-limit of USD 250,000). As with all securities firms, this coverage protects against the failure of a broker-dealer, not against the loss of market value of securities.

IBKR Advantage

Earn Market Rate Interest on Your Uninvested Cash Balances

As an Interactive Brokers client, you are likely aware that client accounts receive credit interest on long-settled cash balances in their securities accounts. After recent increases in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve, Interactive Brokers now pays up to USD 1.08% on long-settled cash balances.1 If the Fed raises interest rates by 75 basis points at the end of the month, this rate will likely rise to USD 1.83% because the interest IBKR pays rises in tandem with Fed interest rate increases.

Accounts with a Net Asset Value (NAV) of USD 100,000 (or equivalent) or more are paid interest at the full rate for which they are eligible. Accounts with NAV of less than USD 100,000 (or equivalent) receive interest at rates proportional to the size of the account.

For example, an account with a NAV of USD 50,000 earns credit interest at a rate equal to one-half the rate paid by IBKR to accounts with a NAV of USD 100,000 or more.

Interest accrues and is payable daily. IBKR posts the interest payments monthly on the third business day of the following month. IBKR uses a blended rate based on the tiers outlined on our website. The tiers on which interest rates are based are subject to change without prior notification.

For balances held in CHF, DKK, EUR or SEK, IBKR may apply an effective negative rate to long balances held. The negative rate applied to accounts holding these currencies is the same regardless of account size. For other currencies in which the benchmark rate plus the interest rate paid is less than zero, the interest paid is 0%.

Introducing
Traders' Insight Radio

Traders' Insight Radio is a new podcast series that interviews thought leaders from across the financial services industry. We discuss a wide range of interesting topics, including the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on markets, market volatility, global political dynamics, cryptocurrencies and more.

  • A Penny Saved is a Dollar Earned (When You're Trading Options at IBKR)
    Thomas Peterffy, Chairman and Founder of Interactive Brokers, explains why IBKR's proprietary best execution technology offers real cost savings for traders, and why the firm's history as a pioneering market maker gives them insights that other firms simply don't have.
  • Everything You Wanted to Know About Equity Options but Were Too Frightened to Ask
    Why do commodity call options cost more than put options? Why does equity market protection cost more than bullish exposure? In this podcast former market-maker Matt Cashman, now educational instructor at the OCC, explains key options concepts such as skew and volatility.
  • What's Your Investment Game Plan?
    What tools are available to help you go from financial hobbyist to savvy investor? Find out, as IBKR senior market analyst Steven Levine jumps into the financial education arena with Game Plan CEO and founder Vin McCaffrey, along with IBKR's director of trading education Andrew Wilkinson, for an exciting discussion about how they are providing – and collaborating – on offering critical, finance-related content to collegiate and professional athletes.

Traders' Insight Radio's audience includes both sophisticated traders and novice investors. The latest episodes are available for free on the Traders' Insight blog, from TWS, Client Portal and IBKR Mobile, and via popular podcasting services.

Not Anymore with Fractional Trading for US and European Shares

Interactive Brokers now offers fractional trading for European stocks.

You can request permission for fractional trading of stock orders by logging in to Client Portal and selecting the User Profile > Settings > Trading Permission menu item. Under stocks, click "Add" and then “Global (Trade in Fractions)", then Save to enable.

Once enabled, you can trade fractional shares from our IBKR Mobile, IBKR GlobalTrader, IMPACT App, Client Portal or Trader Workstation (TWS) trading platforms. When placing an order, simply tap or click the quantity field to show the size wand, use the toggle to switch between dollars or fractional share quantity and enter the quantity for your order.

  • Protect the Planet. Seamlessly.
    IBKR handles the behind-the-scenes work, sourcing carbon credits and retiring them with the appropriate agencies to make protecting the planet a seamless process.
