Hi there,

if you’re referring to the margin rates at Interactive Brokers, I can say they have one of the lowest margin rates in the industry. You can check other brokers with great margin rates:[https://brokerchooser.com/best-brokers/best-lowest-margin-stock-brokers](https://brokerchooser.com/best-brokers/best-lowest-margin-stock-brokers)

If you’re referring to CFD’s margin requirement, then it’s a bit stricter than at most other brokers. you can find here some information: [CFDs Margin Requirements | Interactive Brokers U.K. Limited](https://www.interactivebrokers.co.uk/en/trading/margin-cfd.php)

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,  
Adam
