All of your fund management, including deposits, withdrawals, and transfers of both cash and positions, is administered through Account Management. You can log into Account Management using the Login menu on the IB website, and access it directly from within TWS using the Account Management Home command on the Account menu. Use the same username/password combination you use to log into your trading account.
Bank Instructions
Set up bank instructions to support all deposits & withdrawals
You need to have a bank instruction in place to complete many deposit and withdrawal transactions, including wire transactions, Automated Clearing House (ACH) transactions initiated by IB, and any recurring transactions. Set up bank instructions by logging into Account Management and using the Fund Transfers page in the Funds Management section.
Depositing Funds
Set up deposit instructions in Account Management
Deposit instructions notify IB of an incoming deposit, and are necessary to ensure that your account is properly credited. Complete your deposit instructions by logging into Account Management and using the Fund Transfers page in the Funds Management section. You can create one or multiple deposit instructions which are saved in a picklist and can be used for future transactions.
Withdrawing Funds
Initiate withdrawals from the Fund Transfers page
The Fund Transfers page in Account Management is the starting point for withdrawing funds. Use a new or existing bank instruction when creating your withdrawal request.
Transfer Funds and Positions
Initiate Position Transfers or Fund Transfers
You can transfer positions and funds from IB to an external account, from an external account into IB, and internally between multiple IB accounts. Log into Account Management and use the Position Transfers page for positions or the Fund Transfers page for funds. To support recurring transactions, you'll need to create a re-useable Bank Instruction.
