Finding

A genuine MiFID investment-firm authorisation, but it belongs to Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited in Dublin, a different company from the operator of ibkrk.com. Client protection: Strong protection for clients of the genuine licence holder; none for ibkrk.com, which is not the licensed firm..

Stop any further payments immediately and contact your bank or card issuer to ask about a chargeback or payment recall, keeping every message, receipt and transaction reference. Report the approach to your national financial regulator, and to the Interactive Brokers group, whose name is being used.

No connection has been established. Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited is a genuine Irish company, number 657406, incorporated on 20 September 2019 and a subsidiary of Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. Its registration names interactivebrokers.ie as its website, and that registration covers crypto asset agency activity only, not forex.

There is no contact route. The domain publishes no telephone number, no email address, no live chat and no postal address. The social accounts shown with this listing belong to the Interactive Brokers group and are not a support channel for this domain.

Not stated. There is no client agreement, no restricted countries page and no registration form on the domain, so its onboarding policy cannot be read. Nothing here should be taken to mean that any country is accepted.

No deposit or withdrawal method is published, and no fee schedule, processing time or limit is disclosed. Because the domain also names no company and no support channel, there would be no identified party to ask for a withdrawal and no route to recourse if one were refused.

Unknown. No platform is advertised, offered for download or named anywhere on the domain, and no server details or platform licences are recorded for this operator.

None of its own. The number 657406 presented alongside this brand is the Irish Companies Registration Office company number of Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited, confirmed on that company official Legal Entity Identifier record. A company registration number is proof of incorporation, not an authorisation to deal.

Not published. The domain serves no account pages, no pricing pages and no terms of business, so no minimum deposit, account currency or funding condition can be established before depositing.

The operator is not disclosed. The domain publishes no company name, no registration number, no registered address and no named officer, so there is no legal person identified behind it. The company names circulating with this listing belong to the Interactive Brokers group rather than to whoever holds the domain.

No. Nothing links ibkrk.com to Interactive Brokers Group, Inc. or to its Irish subsidiary. The Irish company registered website is interactivebrokers.ie, which is the address named on the registration cited under this brand.

It cannot be called a confirmed scam, because no client loss traced to this domain has been established, but it should be treated as high risk and unverified. The domain serves no website, names no operating company, and displays the corporate identity and registration of an unrelated regulated group.

No. No financial authority has been shown to supervise the operator of ibkrk.com, and the domain publishes no regulatory disclosure of its own. The one authorisation attached to this brand is a Central Bank of Ireland crypto asset registration held by Interactive Brokers Ireland Limited, a different company whose registered website is interactivebrokers.ie.

Licence C423427 was issued by Central Bank of Ireland (CBI), the financial authority for Ireland.
