While it is not mandatory to fund the master account, we recommend you do this because certain fees, including market data fees, are withdrawn directly from the master account. Should your master account accrue a negative balance at any time, market data will be terminated.
We suggest funding the master account with a minimum of $500.00, or the estimated amount of one year’s market data fees.
To deposit funds into your IBKR account, log in to the Advisor Portal, then click Transfer & Pay > Fund Transfers. For more information on depositing funds, see the Depositing Funds topic in the Funding section of the Account Management Users’ Guide.
