Dear Mr. ..., Thank you for contacting Interactive Brokers Customer Service. If you would like to have an account with IBIE rather than an IBCE account, you can initiate a new account opening on our website. When you initiate the opening process, please specify a Western European country (e.g. Germany) as legal residence so the application can trigger IBIE as the governing entity of your account. Once you proceed further with the application and reach the tax details part, please contact us via ticket so we can change the account details manually and finish up the setup. Once your new account is opened, you can request a full manual transfer from your current account in the following way:
- Log into Client Portal
- Click to the User menu (head and shoulders icon) in the top right corner, followed by Secure Message Center
- Click to Compose, then click to create new to submit a new web ticket
- Select Funds & Banking as the category and Other Deposits and Withdrawals as the topic
