Sharing my IBKR & Wise Set Up Journey! Money transfer took only 1 day for initial deposit.

General Investing

Just opened my Wise & IBKR account last week. To those unsure of how or what methods to do to initially fund your IBKR, here's what I did:

  1. In IBKR Website, click "Deposit Funds" & select USD as currency to deposit.

  2. Select "Direct ACH Transfer from your Bank" . You should see your Routing Number & Account Number here.

  3. Now, open your Wise App & select "Send" -> "Add Recipient" -> "Myself"

  4. Enter the Routing & Account Number from your IBKR page

  5. SEND

*Total fee for this transfer for me was 1.27 USD (Transferred 5 USD to test & received 3.73 USD in my IBKR Account

*I received the money in USD from my sister that's why I didnt have to convert it anymore.

*Hope this helps! Open to learn more on cheaper alternatives & investing in general hehe

Happy Investing!
