Stock Borrow Fee
An additional borrow charge is levied on short CFD Positions, determined for each stock individually based on market borrow rates. IBKR will provide non-binding, indicative borrow rates to clients. Borrow rates may change without notice over the life of the short position based on market conditions.

Open an AccountDisclosures
- For long open positions, your account will be charged interest. For short open positions, your account will generally be paid interest, except in cases where the contract interest rate is negative. When the rate is negative, your account will be charged interest.
- The benchmark is Brazil CETIP DI Interbank Deposit Rate. The benchmark fixing is applied as is, unlike other currencies where the rate is adjusted for market implied rates.
- IBKR may change these rates at any time, in its sole discretion. We will publish the current rates on a best-efforts basis. Interest rates may also vary by program or arrangement. Restrictions apply. The published rates are for direct clients of IBKR. Clients introduced through another broker may receive or pay a different amount of interest at the election of the client’s introducing broker. Clients should contact their introducing broker about the rates that will apply to their account.
