Interactive Brokers Promotion
IBKR Referral Promotion Details
If you are looking for a new brokerage firm, it is a good time to take a look at Interactive Brokers
(IBKR) as one of your options. The popular stockbroker is currently offering a referral-based stock
bonus to investors opening a new account through a qualifying referral link. To make the promotion
even better, Interactive Brokers is also offering current clients a way to make money from referrals.
Keep reading to see how you can take advantage of the IBKR up to $1,000 stock bonus and referral program.
The Interactive Brokers referral bonus program is in essence two different offers in one. The brokerage
firm has created a bonus for both the referrer and the referred client.
Interactive Brokers Referrer Bonus
The referrer bonus is for clients who have an active account with Interactive Brokers.
When you bring new customers to Interactive Brokers, you will receive a $200 payout for each referral who
opens an account through your unique referral link, deposits at least $10,000 within 30 days, and maintains that amount for one year.
After the referred client satisfies the program conditions, the bonus is automatically credited into your
brokerage account.
As the referrer, you must have an individual or joint account, at least $2,000 in net liquidation value,
and at least one securities trade completed. IBKR also limits referrers to 15 referrals per year and
30 referrals in total.
Interactive Brokers Referred Client Bonus
The referred client bonus is for the people you refer to the brokerage. The stock award period is based on
the first year after the referred client’s first deposit.
For this part of the referral bonus, Interactive Brokers will give up to $1,000 of its own stock (IBKR).
To receive the IBKR stock, the referred client must make deposits into their new account. The higher the deposit
amount, the higher the bonus.
The bonus stock is given at a rate of $1 in IBKR stock for every $300 deposited, up to a maximum of $1,000
in IBKR stock. Tax-deferred and tax-advantaged accounts are not eligible for the referral bonus or the
IBKR stock award.
Residents of Japan, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Poland, and Israel are not eligible for the Interactive Brokers
Refer a Friend program.
Opening an Interactive Brokers Account
In order for the referrer and the friend to receive the bonus, the referred client must open a qualifying
brokerage account using the referrer’s unique IBKR referral link, not a regular brokerage application link.
You will be asked to decide on an account type and fill out an application. Following that, you are given the chance to fund the account and begin exploring all that IBKR has to offer.
Free Trial
One nice thing that IBKR offers is a free trial to give new customers a chance to see what the platform
is all about. It helps your referred client decide if IBKR is the right choice.
Investors interested in learning more about the platforms, securities, market data, and fees can get
involved without putting any money on the line.

I work in investment analytics and have been investing in the market since I was in high school. I enjoy anything that involves lots of strategy (i.e. a good game of chess), which is why I was naturally drawn to investing and researching companies. Outside of investing, I’m a big fan of the outdoors. In summer, you’re most likely to find me kayaking, camping, and hiking in the mountains.
