Strength and Security

You can be confident that your money is secure and that Interactive Brokers will endure through good and bad times.

  • On a consolidated basis, Interactive Brokers Group's (IBG LLC) equity capital exceeds $5 billion.
  • Unlike most other firms, where management owns a relatively small share, we participate substantially in the downside just as much as in the upside. Because of this vested interest, we run our business conservatively.
  • Customer securities accounts at Interactive Brokers are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC").
  • Our real-time margining system marks all customer positions to market continuously. All orders are credit vetted before being executed and positions in accounts with inadequate margin deposits are liquidated automatically.
  • We provide login protection through the use of free security devices, which generate unique, random codes that you enter each time you log in, as well as additional account protections.
