Hi Grunter,
Yip I use IB here (NZ) but only for international securities (mainly ASX) as IB don't support NZX securities. The base currency is in NZD which I have to transfer to AUD (through the platform) in order to purchase ASX securities.
Was fairly straight forward to open and easy to communicate with their Aussie office during the process.
Thanks McGinty, Dej,
Good to know IB don't offer NZX securities!
Hi All,
I have just setup a new Interactive Brokers account. Is there any other way to transfer NZD to the IB account other then a wire transfer? My bank charges me $30 a transfer.
Thanks

Thanks Stoploss, Just called them. Seems like no other way to deposit NZD funds apart from a wire transfer. This may change in the future.
Yes I am based in NZ
Anyone else found the same thing?
I have an account with ANZ in NZ and they charge $18 for a International Transfer if done via Internet Banking.
However I do all my International Transfer with OFX/NzForex who charge $12 for small transactions and nothing for $10,000+, and their ex-rates are marginally better.
Have a look into it.
Best Wishes
