After funding, clients can access stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds and funds across more than 170 global markets through the IBKR platform.
## Why it matters
The integration creates a direct local-bank-to-global-investment funding route and reduces reliance on international cards or manual wires for eligible Latin American clients.
