IBKR Referral Link Singapore 2026: Up to USD 1,000 in IBKR Stock

There's no IBKR referral code to type in, which confused me for a good ten minutes. It's link-only, and if you open the account any other way first, the stock reward is gone.

What you get

Open an Interactive Brokers account through a referral link and you get USD 1 of IBKR stock for every USD 300 of net deposits in your first year, capped at USD 1,000 in stock. It's one reward per new client, paid in actual Interactive Brokers Group Class A shares (Nasdaq: IBKR).

Rough maths so you can see where you'd land:

• USD 300 net deposits → USD 1 of stock
• USD 3,000 → USD 10
• USD 30,000 → USD 100
• USD 300,000 or more → USD 1,000 (the max)

So it works out to about 0.33% of what you put in. Not life-changing unless you're moving a big portfolio over, but it's free if you were going to open IBKR anyway.

How to claim

1. Open the referral link above and click Open Account on the invitation page.
2. Complete the application for an individual or joint account and wait for IBKR to approve it.
3. Fund the account. Cash and transferred assets both count, and deposits add up across the year, so you don't need a lump sum.
4. Watch the Welcome Share Balance in your account. It updates daily for 1 year from your first deposit, then the share count is fixed.
5. Hold. The shares can't be sold or transferred for 1 year from the date they're awarded.

Things I'd watch out for

• ✅ Start from the link. There's no way to add the referral after you've already applied.
• Withdrawals cut your reward. It's based on net deposits, so pulling money out in the first year reduces your Welcome Share Balance proportionally. Depositing again adds it back.
• The one-year lock is real. If your account is closed or not in good standing before the shares vest, you forfeit them. You still get dividends and voting rights in the meantime.
• Margin accounts: IBKR can use the shares to cover obligations.
• The USD value isn't fixed. The number of shares is set by IBKR's closing price on the day of each deposit, so what they're worth later will move.

I checked all of these numbers against DLCuration's IBKR referral guide, which also has the full eligibility list and FAQ: https://dlcuration.com/ibkr-referral-code.html

Who can't get it

• Anyone who has, or previously had, an IBKR account
• Residents of Japan, Denmark, Spain, Portugal, Poland, mainland China or Israel
• Tax-deferred, financial advisor, hedge fund or institutional accounts
• Family members of, or anyone living at the same address as, the person whose link you use
• Accounts opened with Interactive Brokers Canada or Interactive Brokers India

Expiry

None announced. The offer is ongoing, and the terms I'm quoting are IBKR's Refer a Friend terms dated 2 Jul 2026. IBKR can change them, so skim the T&Cs before you fund.

One caveat: IBKR Singapore is MAS-licensed, but a brokerage account isn't a bank deposit, so there's no SDIC cover, and the shares you're awarded can go down as well as up.

Not financial advice, just sharing how the referral works since the "where do I enter the code" question keeps coming up.
