✦ Sentiment OverviewUpdated every month · Aug 19, 2026

Interactive Brokers holds a solid 4.1/5 rating across 19,439 reviews, though recent customer sentiment has softened. The NeoBase index stands at 71.1/100 (+1.8), reflecting cautious stability. Media coverage tilts positive-to-neutral, anchored on product expansion - new exchange access, crypto withdrawals, and AI partnerships - yet customer experience appears to be trailing headline momentum, suggesting execution or service-layer friction beneath the feature announcements.

About Interactive Brokers

Founded in 1978 by Thomas Peterffy, Interactive Brokers is one of the world's largest electronic brokerages. It pioneered direct-access trading and is renowned for ultra-low commissions, access to 150+ global markets and the Trader Workstation (TWS) platform. IBKR is publicly traded on NASDAQ.

Frequently asked questions

How does Interactive Brokers differ from a typical neobank?

IBKR is primarily a broker, not a neobank — its strength lies in ultra-low commissions, access to 150+ global markets (NYSE, LSE, HKEX, Euronext, futures, options, forex) and powerful trading tools (Trader Workstation). For users seeking a simple everyday bank account, IBKR would be overly complex.

What commissions does Interactive Brokers charge?

IBKR Pro: volume-based pricing, e.g. $0.005/share (min. $1) for US markets. IBKR Lite: $0 commissions for US stocks and ETFs. Options: $0.65/contract (Lite) or from $0.15 (Pro). Margin rates from ~5.33% USD. Institutional-grade commissions available to retail customers.

Does Interactive Brokers offer zero-commission trading?

IBKR Lite offers zero-commission trading for US stocks and ETFs listed on NYSE and NASDAQ. However, IBKR Lite is only available to US-resident customers. European and Polish users use IBKR Pro with volume-based or fixed commissions.
