Margin cash loan from IB - MMM post

HI everybody!

This was not possible for Switzerland back when I checked in 2018. Now I have a cash account so I?m not so motivated to change it just to test it.
Does anybody knows if this is now possible in Switzerland as well? By simply transfer out more cash than you have on the account?
Could be interesting for a couple of reason:

  • invest emergency fund instaead of keeping it cash: withdrawing 10k for a car problem/dentist whatever out of 200k invested in ETF is a no risk move
  • alternative way to finance a home

I can’t seem to find any country of validity or something. Thanks!
