Do keep in mind that most people on this forum are Swiss resident personal investors that have accounts with Interactive Brokers’ UK entity.

Interactive Brokers operates several legal entities worldwide (and more than one in Europe) that are subject to different local regulations and policy. Especially if you recently opened an account while being resident outside of Switzerland - or the UK and its associated territories - it is likely that you’re dealing with a different entity than most here.

While there are, on the whole, relatively few differences between their different regional entities or based on your country of residency, some contractual details, trading permissions and deposit options can - and will - differ.
