I was wondering if anybody would be able to tell me whether you can open an account with IB through their switzerland branch (if they have one) I know timberhill is registered in Switzerland but not sure if IB is. If IB is registered with the Swiss authority as a retail brokerage firm can someone provide me with their address. I've checked Ib's website and they don't have a mailing address only a contact number.
You can open an account thru their UK branch: Interactive Brokers (U.K) Limited is regulated by the FSA (Registered No. 03958476) Office: 10 and 10A Arthur Street, First Floor, London EC4R 9AY www.interactivebrokers.co.uk
FX trader is correct. All you need to do is open the application on line, and complete the material. As you are in Europe, your account will be opened by IB UK automatically.
