How do I return my secure login device to Interactive Brokers ?

In the event you need to return your secure log in device to Interactive Brokers (due to damage, breakage, account consolidation or closing purposes), please follow the instructions below:

  1. Download and print the Secure Login Device Return Form
  2. Complete the form and package it with your device 
  3. Mail your package to the applicable address below

For your protection, we strongly recommend using a padded envelope for your return, and a carrier that provides a tracking number (e.g., UPS, FedEx, DHL, or USPS Express Mail only) since you will be held liable for the token's return. Please allow 3 - 5 business days after shipment for your account to reflect the receipt by IBKR of the returned device. Please note delivery time can vary due to carrier delays.

Additional Action For Replacement Returns
If this is a replacement return and not a closing of an account, please call our security support team, at the number below, to notify us of your defective device and we will provide you with a temporary security code allowing you to continue to access your account until you receive your new secure log in device. IBKR offers multiple device types, and the replacement considerations associated with each are outlined below:

For Digital Security Card+ (DSC+) Users:
If you are returning a Digital Security Card+ (Exhibit 1), and require a replacement device, you will need to log into Client Portal and request a new DSC+ (see here for directions.)

Exhibit 1

 Digital Security Card+ 

For Security Code Card Users:

These types of devices (Exhibit 4) do not need to be returned to IBKR and can be shredded and discarded. If you require a replacement device, we recommend activating the IB Key Authentication via IBKR Mobile (see here for directions.)

Account Closing
Access to Client Portal for the purpose of reviewing and/or printing activity statements and any tax forms is provided following the return of your device and closing of your account.  Once closed, you will be able to log in without the security device and will only need your existing user name and password.

Questions regarding security devices may be addressed to the security group at any phone number listed in the above table.
 
For information regarding replacement fees for security devices which are either lost, stolen, damaged or not returned upon account closing, please refer to KB1861.
