If you're comparing neobanks in 2026, Interactive Brokers keeps coming up in every conversation I have.

Nora Lindqvist@noralindqvisX· 6d ago

Switched to Interactive Brokers and honestly not looking back. The fee transparency alone is worth it.

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.
