I used to have a standing order from my Swiss bank account to monthly wire money to my IBKR account. Recently switched to another Swiss bank. When I entered to fund my account for a standing order I got a new Swiss Iban compared to the previous one I had. Is that normal?
Just got the same thing, I previously used the citi IBAN, now it told me to use an UBS one.
I will see in March if that goes through without a hitch.
I tried to reply in other IBKR thread but was not able to (max 3 replies). After having issues from IBKR I got the following:
"I finally got feedback from IBKR today. After 17 calendar days they have confirmed that they DID NOT receive any funds from UBS.
I have opened an inquiry to my bank on this transactions to trace and get the funds to my personal account.
What a mess and lack of confidence this whole process is giving me.
Hope I can bring positive news next time"

Well I transferred using the citi IBAN as recently as last week, so i guess I will keep using that one 
I know that IBKR has a good reputation. But the web version is realy altbacken (looks old and error-prone) - at least for me, someone who rarely works with it. Some things are extremely slow. For example, opening the message centre takes ~12 seconds for me. And today I was briefly startled after IBKR failed to display my positions. After a reload, they were there again.
Has it always been like this, or has it got better/worse in recent years?
Edit:
It happened again, this time I was able to look into the DevTools of Firefox.
The following requestâŠ
https://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk/portal.proxy/v1/portal/portfolio/<USERID>/combo/positions?nocache=true
is answered with an HTTP 500 and the message {"error": "Not ready"}. However, the IBKR interface interprets this as âNo positionsâ instead of displaying a reasonable error.
Hopefully a temporary problem.
On weekends itâs always been whacky since they do their migrations/updates on the weekends. Sometimes you canât even login but they then display a maintenance warning on the login page.
Every time I access the account statements, it automatically logs me out⊠I created the IBKR account two months ago and have already lost confidence. I really hope that they do their administrative work better than the technical work.
Had the same issue yâday. Closed the browswer tab, logged into a new one, fixed the issue.
Had to delete the cookies, now the account statements work. But now I have an error message on the dashboard when retrieving the last transactions. Perhaps they are simply overloaded. In any case, there is nothing about this on the system status page, which leaves me with a bad feeling. Anyway, Iâll leave it for today. Tomorrow is another day. Or the day after tomorrow.
Send me your login credentials, Iâll debug this issue for you ⊠

I finally got an answer this week. They cannot add it, as âUSD assets traded in Germany create clearing issuesâ.

FYI I just used the citi IBAN from the new account and it worked no issues, Iâll be using that for now
I got an email today from IBKR asking me to vote for the general assembly of Alcon (CH0432492467). That had my head spinning since Ito my knowledge, IBRK does not add your name to the share registry. The link goes to www.proxypush.com, and indeed the proposals match what I get to see in www.gvote.ch (for my shares at Postfinance - they do add my name to the share registry).
So now Iâm curious - I didnât get such an invitation to vote for any other shares in my IBKR Portfolio. How come they have (I guess youâd call it âproxy votingâ) for Alcon and not the rest (or has anybody received a similar invitation for other Swiss shares? I know for certain US shares you get to proxy vote through IBKR, e.g. Tesla).
Anyone ever had a push notification ânull order for U*** was cancelled by traderâ even though there was no order placed? (Android)
I changed some notification settings in IBKR today (too much volatility these days & wanted less notifications), including turning on the âTradeâ push.
Then 1h later got like 3 push with this ânull orderâ, but when I click on it, nothing is shown as there is no order. 
Just looked at the Annual cost and charges statement.
Does anyone understand what this category means? 
Accounts for roughly 0.27% of assets, so wondering if that would be e.g. the TERs of the funds I hold?
But itâs phrased super confusingly to me - âentering/exiting an investment service?â
| Type | One-off |
|---|---|
| Investment Services Costs are fees that are incurred on a one-time, transactional, ongoing or incidental basis to provide and perform investment services. | Costs and charges incurred at the beginning (entry) or at the end (exit) of the provided investment service(s) |
These should be buy and sell costs⊠are you doing a lot of trading?
Not really,
when I look at my commissions/fees/transactions (for trading + stamp tax etc.),
they amount to about 10x smaller amount than that one.
Edit: Ah it seems that would be withholding tax,
just went through all the details of my annual activity statement.
Makes sense WHT is reasonable size
