How can my employer get set up in order to receive duplicate copies of my trade confirmations and statements?

In order for an employer to be set up so as to received this information, you will need to have them prepare and email to newaccounts@interactivebrokers.com a Rule 407 letter which confirms your employment and which serves as their request to receive duplicate statements and trade confirms. Assuming that your employer is a financial institution which, for in-house compliance purposes and/or as a result of regulatory mandate monitors the trading activities of their employees, they should be familiar with the preparation and contents of this letter. 

You may also want to first verify with your employer whether they are a participant in the IBEmployeeTrackSM program which automatically identifies new IB accounts opened by employees and organizes into a single daily transmission the reports required for all.

 

Note that once established, this reporting cannot be terminated without confirmation from the employer that the delivery of statements and confirms is no longer required.

 

NOTE:

If this request is being driven by a change in the account holder's employment, the account holder should update their employment information within Account Management. In addition, if the account holder selects the Applicant Information and then Regulatory Information menu options within Account Management they will be presented with the following question:

Is the account holder or any immediate family member who resides in the same household, registered as a broker-dealer or an employee, director or owner of a securities or commodities brokerage firm?

Answering 'Yes' to that question will prompt a series of questions and generate a sample Rule 407 letter.
