IB: institutional due diligence FAQ

Key supervisory, licensing, and counterparty verification questions generated from the dataset.

What is IB's regulatory licence status and supervisory authorisation?

In our imported dataset, IB (legal entity reference: Interactive Brokers Hong Kong Limited) holds 5 recorded licence entries, of which 5 carry a "regulated" status and 5 are marked regulated or registered: MAS (Monetary Authority of Singapore) — licence CMS100917, status: regulated, Tier-1; IIROC (Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada) — licence Not supplied, status: regulated, Tier-1; FSA (Financial Services Agency) — licence Kanto Local Finance Bureau (FIBO) No. 187, status: regulated, Tier-1; FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) — licence 208159, status: regulated, Tier-1; ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) — licence 453554, status: regulated, Tier-1. Institutional due diligence requires verifying that the exact legal entity on your counterparty agreement matches the licensed entity name and registration number on the official MAS, IIROC, FSA public register.

Which of IB's jurisdictions and licences fall within this site's regulatory coverage?

IB is registered at One Pickwick Plaza, Greenwich, CT 06830 USA and tracked under our banks and deposit-taking institutions scope based on its institutional service profile (Stocks, Futures, Options) rather than a domestic focus licence. Its 5 recorded licences (MAS, IIROC, FSA, FCA, ASIC) should be evaluated for cross-border passporting and local solicitation rules.

What is IB's institutional risk classification, enforcement exposure, and score profile?

IB carries a "risk level not supplied" classification in the source dataset (composite numeric scores are not supplied for this record). The record flags 0 regulatory warning or complaint counts. Because these figures reflect imported source fields rather than primary audit findings, compliance teams should review primary enforcement bulletins directly.

What operational due diligence steps apply to IB's platforms, entity structure, and complaints?

Before allocating capital or executing trades with IB, institutional and retail allocators should: (1) confirm the domain (not supplied in source) against regulator-approved domains to guard against clone firms; (2) verify whether any of the 0 recorded warning/complaint entries or 0 user comments involve withdrawal restrictions or scope violations; and (3) confirm the dispute-resolution ombudsman tied to MAS.
