@BigPineapple I just sold some US shares and I got the amount credited in USD in my ibkr account!

That's good to know.. So far I have only been playing around with Paper Trading function with IBKR as their system a little bit more complex but at the same time it does allow you to trade more complex investment instrument.

I still like ibkr a lot... Especially the low fees in general... Their app is a bit tricky to my view (for example they don't show upcoming dividends like degiro or saxo) but still they have been in the market for many years...

On the mobile app, there are actually two versions.. IBKR Mobile (Complex version) and IBKR Global Trader (Simplified version). Get the IBKR Global Trader and it will have a place that show upcoming dividend when you select the actual stock.

E.g. from the paper trading, if I go into MSFT, I can see Calendar Events and it states payment 0.75 to be paid in USD on 12 Sept 2024.

I use IBKR Mobile. On the 'manage columns' setting you can select all those dividend metrics.
