Link your IBKR account to Vault

Already have an Interactive Brokers account? Here's how to link it to Vault from the IBKR Client Portal — in five steps.

Updated 16 June 2026

If you already hold an Interactive Brokers (IBKR) account, you don’t need to open a new one — you can link your existing account to Vault directly from the IBKR Client Portal. Once linked, the Vault team can manage your portfolio on your behalf, and you keep your existing IBKR username.

The steps below take a few minutes. After you submit, IBKR takes 1–3 business days to activate the link.

1. Log in to the Client Portal

Sign in to the IBKR Client Portal / Account Management at interactivebrokers.com using your existing IBKR username.

2. Open Manage Account Linking

Open the User menu — the head-and-shoulders icon in the top-right corner — then go to Settings → Account Configuration → Manage Account Linking.

Select Link my Existing Account to an Advisor/Broker, then press Continue.

Choose “Link my Existing Account to an Advisor/Broker”, then press Continue.

4. Enter Vault’s account details

Enter Vault’s Account ID and Account Title exactly as shown below, then press Continue.
