- Accounts with a NAV of less than USD 100,000 (or equivalent) will be paid at a rate proportional to accounts with a NAV of USD 100,000 (or equivalent) or more. The proportion is determined by the ratio of the account's NAV to USD 100,000 (or equivalent). This does not apply to currencies with negative interest rates, where the negative rate applied will be the same regardless of account size. Please note that the interest paid for IBKR Lite is lower than IBKR Pro. See our Interest Rates for details.
- See our Margin Rates for details.
- IBKR Lite is available to Singapore retail investors who hold individual, joint, or trust accounts. These accounts can be cash or margin.
