Interest Rate Calculator IB uses a tier-based blended rate when calculating interest rates on both debit and credit balances. For example, if you have a debit balance over 1,000,000 USD, the first 100,000 is charged at the Tier I rate, the next 900,000 at the Tier II rate, etc. You can now automatically calculate your blended interest rate using the Interest Rate Calculator. This tool is available at the top of the Interest Paid to You and Interest Charged to You pages. Simply enter a balance, select a currency and click Calculate Blended Rate. The calculator not only shows you the blended rate, but also displays the tiers and cutoffs and breaks your balance into the appropriate tiers with the associated interest rate. |
New Products and Exchanges We are pleased to announce the following new products and exchanges:

The Traders' Edge: Earn Additional Yield on Your Fully-Paid Stock Over 3000 of our clients are earning an additional $4.3 million per annum on their fully paid shares. Last quarter we introduced our Stock Yield Enhancement Program, which effortlessly earns you extra income on your fully-paid stocks by allowing IB to borrow them from you and then lend them out to other IB customers or in the securities lending market. Each day that your stock is loaned out you will be paid a loan fee based on market rates. You will pay 50% to IB as a fee for managing the program and receive the rest as income. This program can potentially enhance your portfolio yield and is so simple to join that we wanted to bring it to your attention one more time. You can see the potential for extra yield on your current portfolio by logging into Account Management and accessing the Stock Yield Enhancement calculator from the New Features section of the home page. To find out how easy it can be to earn extra income on your fully-paid shares, see the IB Stock Yield Enhancement Program highlights page. |
