Interactive Brokers Adds Taipei Exchange for Global Investors

Interactive Brokers adds Taiwan’s Taipei Exchange, expanding global trading with automatic currency conversion for international clients.

Key points:

• Interactive Brokers now offers access to TPEx, enabling trading of equities, ETFs, and TDRs for international investors.
• Automatic currency conversion simplifies cross-border trades between clients’ base currencies and the New Taiwan Dollar.

Interactive Brokers has officially added Taiwan’s Taipei Exchange to its global trading platform, providing international investors direct access to Taiwan’s small and medium-sized enterprises. The move allows clients to trade equities, ETFs, and Taiwan Depositary Receipts (TDRs) while benefiting from automatic currency conversion between their base currency and the New Taiwan Dollar.

The addition of TPEx expands Interactive Brokers’ network to over 160 global markets, giving investors access to high-growth sectors such as technology, creative industries, and micro-enterprises in Taiwan.

Interactive Brokers Adds Taiwan’s Taipei Exchange

“Adding TPEx reinforces our ongoing commitment to continually extend the suite of products available to our clients,” said David Friedland, Head of APAC for Interactive Brokers. “The Taipei Exchange is recognized as a leading platform for small and mid-sized enterprises, giving our clients another avenue to explore diverse investment opportunities in Asia.”

Existing IBKR clients can begin trading TPEx products immediately through their current accounts. New clients can open an account in minutes to access markets across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. However, TPEx access via Interactive Brokers is restricted for residents of Mainland China and Taiwan, limiting participation to international investors.

This expansion comes alongside Interactive Brokers’ broader push into personal finance. The brokerage recently launched the Karta Visa card, linking trading and cash management to allow clients to spend directly from their brokerage accounts. The integration aims to streamline investing, saving, and everyday purchases within a single platform.

Interactive Brokers’ expansion into TPEx coincides with strong financial results. In the third quarter, GAAP net revenue reached $1.66 billion, up from $1.37 billion year-over-year. Adjusted net revenue stood at $1.61 billion, while diluted earnings per share rose to $0.59 from $0.42. Profit before taxes hit $1.31 billion, maintaining a pre-tax margin of 79%.

With TPEx now accessible, Interactive Brokers continues to reinforce its position for global investors seeking both traditional and emerging market opportunities.
