IBKR has recently selected Alkymi to enhance the digital client onboarding experience for its customers and to efficiently support its rapidly growing customer base.
The US-based online brokerage firm deployed two solutions, Alkymi Data Inbox and Alkymi Patterns, as the securities firm looks to eliminate manual collection, extraction and transformation of data and focus on client service while improving costs.
IBKR says its adoption of Alkymi is a strategic collaboration in the client experience for its broker/dealer business, which will translate into more satisfied brokerage customers.
The broker has been taking measures to address the needs and wants of retail traders, having recently launched a new tool for investors to compare the relative valuations and financial metrics of stocks globally.
Going by the name of GlobalAnalyst, the tool helps investors improve their international portfolio diversification by discovering undervalued companies with greater growth potential.
IBKR also entered the crypto game by introducing cryptocurrency trading for Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) in the United States via Paxos Trust Company on behalf of clients.
Investment advisors will be able to trade and custody Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) with commissions as low as 0.12% – 0.18% of trade value, depending on monthly volume with a USD 1.75 minimum per order.
Last but not least was the launch of the ESG mobile trading platform, IMPACT, designed to help socially conscious traders and investors to align their investments according to their principles and values.
