The UK company’s turnover for the year came in at £36 million.
It also opened a new Dubai branch.
The UK unit of Interactive Brokers witnessed a 142 per cent increase in client accounts in 2024, rising to 64,146 from the previous year’s 26,539, according to the latest Companies House filing. As a result, the company’s commission income—its turnover—also jumped to £36 million from £31.3 million in 2023, marking a yearly increase of 15 per cent.
Strong Income and Profits
Regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the company offers execution and clearing broking services in equity and derivative products to private and institutional clients. It also operates as a client-carrying broker-dealer, offering unallocated spot gold and silver, contracts for differences (CFDs), safe custody securities, index futures, and options to its carried clients and affiliates.
Although there was an operating loss due to high administrative expenses of £59.4 million, the UK company generated £131.8 million in finance income; however, £102.1 million of that was offset by finance costs. The company also made £7.2 million from other operating income streams.
The rise in revenue also positively impacted the company’s profitability. Pre-tax profits increased to £13.6 million, up from £11.3 million in 2023—a year-over-year increase of 20 per cent. After taxes, the company netted £10.5 million.
