You really need to contact IB for a question like this. Suppose someone gives you their answer, and it's wrong? IB will be able to tell you how to wire them and the wire instructions, and really only them. They are the ones who have to receive the money, after all, and it has to be the way they are prepared to receive it.

Thanks Bob -

I was just curious if people had used any of the services to wire instead of a bank.

I just went ahead with a bank, like I always do.

Cheers ~

Living in EU I've been using transferwise (US account) several times as well as SEPA and local currency (Czech Crowns) wire transfers to IB UK and did not experience any issue.

Oh yeah, that's anti money laundering law dictating that both accounts ( IB and banking) owner name must equal.

As previously stated, anyone should check with their particular broker for suitable methods. Transferwise is not universally acceptable as I have seen some brokers (eg. Phillip Capital) specifically say it is not.

Curious how you do that as Transferwise website says "You can’t send USD to brokerages or intermediary banks...only checking & savings accounts"
Transferwise do not support "for further credit to ..." instructions either

Thanks

@Etisan in the start question there is explicitly mentioned Interactive Brokers and how to fund trading account with them. I do not see any benefit in mentioning other brokers like Phillip Capital and moving the thread offtopic
