IB are far from a legit broker. Easy to put money into your account and trade but good luck getting it back out. Some people have had a good experience but there are many of us that have had IB block withdrawals. Customer service via email or over the phone is poor to non existent and good luck ever trying to get a resolution. They appear a fantastic broker but STAY AWAY from them. Maybe for US residence investors they may get better service but for non US residence investors its a total nightmare. If you ever find yourself in a position with IB where they block your withdrawls try to action a share transfer broker 2 broker to at least get your shares. Thanks to their 𝗦𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗟.𝗖 𝗢 𝗠 support, I was able to successfully retrieve my money. This experience highlighted the importance of having a reliable support system in place. I’m thankful for intervention, which made all the difference in resolving my situation.
