Interactive Brokers has announced the launch of the Karta Visa Card, giving users an alternative way to spend directly from their brokerage accounts. The move is aimed at expanding the broker’s presence in personal finance.
The new card will integrate cash management and trading in a single platform, allowing users to save, invest, trade, and make purchases globally without the stress of moving funds between platforms.
Cardholders Can Now Make Purchases Globally Without FX Fees
Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Brokers, Milan Galik, commented on the partnership. “Our all-in-one cash management solution gives clients an easy and flexible way to manage their money,” he said. The partnership shows the platform’s intention to simplify how clients manage their finances in a single place.
The Karta Visa card is another addition to Interactive Brokers’ suite of management tools. Karta Visa offers clients a U.S. dollar card with real-time support and foreign transaction fees. It also offers lifestyle benefits, such as luxury travel concierge services and airport lounge access.
The card will allow clients to make purchases globally without FX fees. They can also earn reward points from their lifestyle and travel spending.
Interactive Brokers’ existing cash management solution already allows clients to earn about 3.6% in interest on idle cash. They can also make deposits through automated payroll or mobile check, while their funds are protected under the platform’s strong balance sheet.
Interactive Brokers said the Karta Visa card will be available to eligible users across several locations. They can get access to the virtual card through Google Wallet and Apple Pay. Cardholders can start spending on the card immediately while maintaining complete control of their finances.
Interactive Brokers Enjoys an Increase In Revenue In Q3 2025
Interactive Brokers has continued to bridge the gap between banking and brokerage, giving users more options in daily finance and investment. The new card offers a single account that works across currencies and markets. The firm says checkouts have never been easier and better for its global clients following the introduction of the new Karta Visa card.
Interactive Brokers is also growing in revenue and profitability. The firm reported strong third-quarter results, driven by higher interest income and a sharp increase in trading activity.
The broker reports growth across its core business segments while keeping its costs down. Its GAAP revenue grew from $1.37 billion in Q3 2024 to $1.66 billion in Q3 2025. Similarly, its adjusted net revenue hit $1.6 billion in the same quarter.
The firm says the positive result reflects strong momentum among its active clients, despite current market volatility.
