Is there a way to get a US IBKR account other than being a resident? Maybe with a TIN? or registering a corporation in US? Interest rates for margin is much lower for US Pro users VS all other counteries. Thanks,
Only for those countries where IB has a subsidiary (e.g. Europe, Japan, HK, India, Australia) will new clients be directed to that subsidiary. Otherwise you will be directed to IB US. So you don't necessarily have to be a resident in the US.
The default is PRO outside of the US so assuming you qualify for a margin account you will obtain the low margin rates independent of where you are located.
