Interactive Brokers recently introduced new debit card features to help clients use their account for more than just investing.
Advisors and Brokers can now request debit cards be sent to their clients. Debit card requests are made via the client's Dashboard in Account Management. All clients receiving a debit card must agree to terms and conditions prior to using the debit card.
Trustees who are also beneficiaries can now enroll in the debit card program by visiting Account Management > Transfer & Pay > Debit Mastercard.
Android Pay and Samsung Pay join Apple Pay as mobile payment solutions available to clients using the Interactive Brokers Debit Mastercard. These mobile payment solutions let clients use a smartphone just as they would the debit card. Click an icon to download the app.
The Interactive Brokers Debit Mastercard is currently available to US resident account holders with cash or margin accounts. Applying for the card is fast and easy. Go to Account Management to apply, request additional cards, manage your cards or track your transactions.
