Interactive Brokers (U.K.) Limited, an affiliate of the automated global electronic broker Interactive Brokers Group, has rolled out a promotion for UK residents.

This initiative grants a £55 commission credit to new clients who open a Stocks and Shares Investment Savings Account (ISA). The offer is designed to attract both newcomers to savings and current ISA holders seeking a more robust trading platform.

Interactive Brokers underscores the potential of their ISAs to assist UK investors in achieving their savings objectives through a wide array of global investment options and a tax-advantageous framework.

“We welcome those just beginning their savings journey as well as existing ISA holders keen on transferring to a superior trading platform,” said Gerald Perez. “The new trading commission credit promotion, combined with our powerful platforms, low trading commissions and global product offering, could help more individuals in the UK reach their savings goals.”
