Just reply their email and give them whatever proof they of transaction, bank statement they want. Important to show them where money is coming from. How did you do your transfer.

Dumb question: Is there any IBKR that has a UI similar to Robinhood?

AFAIK the answer is no, having said that even for Tradestation global (TSG) we are using IBKR UI but not TSG own none-user friendly UI.

Glad that it's resolved! Wrote them two days ago and they said it was because of their new AML procedure and that was it. Nothing in my inbox, but I guess I will just have to wait for a couple more days. They must be experiencing a long backlog

Hi all sifus, I'm new to IBKR, and registered through TSG. I noticed the spot rates for currency exchange for USD.SGD pair charges fee is higher than USD2 per conversion. For my case, I converted to USD1000 and it charged me USD2. 75 for commissions. May I know how to calculate?
