You can check this on your IBKR Account Management section under account type. It should read as margin if your account is as such.
Also as I understand the margin is 2X but can be as high as 4X intraday.

I've recently been trying to transfer SGD into IBKR via instarem but am having issues putting in the SWIFT code.
It just mentions the error as "no results found"

Anyone facing the same issue?

I trying to use CITISGSGXXX as provided for by IBKR when i sent in the deposit details.
I'm not sure if it's a system thing for my account as I can't even get it to auto populate suggestions of swift codes.

Was testing around with Instarem to transfer to IBKR and came upon CIMB SpeedSend. After doing a dummy quote it seems to be better compared with transferring through Instarem SGD and thereafter converting to USD via IBKR.

Anyone used CIMB SpeedSend before to transfer money to IBKR?

nope, but i tried to transfer to tos but failed and bounced back.

TOS as in TDAmeritrade's ThinkOrSwim? Did they say why it was rejected?

I may try 1 transfer to IBKR to see how it works.... At most it bounces back I guess.
