We support the following internal fund transfers:

• Internal fund transfer to another IB account (all account structures) with matching Account Name, Account Title, Tax ID, National ID, ID Type and Country of legal residence.

• Internal fund transfer between a master and sub account. The account types are eligible:
• Proprietary Trading Groups - Separate Trading Limit accounts.
• Non-disclosed Brokers.
• Separate Trading Limit accounts can also transfer funds between two sub accounts.
• Internal fund transfer to a client or sub account. The following account types are eligible:
• Advisor Masters can transfer funds to a client account with trading privileges or a client account with a matching Account Name, Account Title and Tax ID.
• Investment Manager Masters (Fund Advisors) can transfer funds to an Omnibus Fund sub account, and to any client/sub account with a matching Account Name, Account Title and Tax ID.
