Depositing Canadian Dollars via Bill Payment
First you will want to set up IBKR as a payee through your bank. To do this, you will need your account number at IBKR and indicate the name of our institution, “Interactive Brokers Inc.”. Depending upon your particular financial institution and whether IBKR is recognized as one of their program participants, your institution will likely indicate an expected delivery date of 1-2 business days for transfers. Once funds are sent via bill payment, please ensure that a bill payment notification is also submitted through Client Portal.
Note: Canadian bill payment is only offered for clients of IB Canada.
