- A user error in transferring funds to Interactive Brokers (IBKR) via bill payment raises concerns about potential delays or misallocation of funds. While not directly impacting the broader market, such operational issues can erode investor confidence in brokerage platforms, especially among new users. The user's anxiety highlights the importance of clear instructions and robust customer support from brokers. A negative but isolated incident.
Hi so this is my first time depositing funds in IBKR so I went to the bank to do bill transfer. And when they asked what to put in as account number I said 09591 1034289 (pls see image attached) and now when reading here and googling I think account# is the one that starts with "U"
Did I do the bill payment right or wrong?
If it's wrong what happens to the funds I transferred to
IBKR. Should I call the customer service and let them know about it?
I'm really worried and don't know what to do. I watched tons of videos on YouTube on how to do bill payment but don't see anyone talking about it
