Interactive Brokers has broadened its global trading platform by adding Brazil’s B3 exchange, allowing eligible clients outside Brazil to trade Brazilian equities directly through the firm’s automated system.
The brokerage already offers access to more than 160 markets worldwide; the addition of B3—one of Latin America’s most liquid and active exchanges—extends that reach into a high‑growth emerging market. B3’s robust trading volume and diverse index offerings provide new opportunities for both retail and institutional investors seeking diversification.
The move is expected to lift commission revenue as trading volumes rise. B3’s liquidity and growth potential create a new source of transaction fees, while the firm’s low‑cost model positions it to capture a share of the market’s fee‑based revenue. CEO Milan Galik said, “By adding Brazil’s B3 Exchange, we’re giving our clients efficient, low‑cost access to one of the world’s most dynamic emerging economies through our unified global platform.”
Strategically, the expansion complements recent additions to the Taipei Exchange and UAE equities, reinforcing Interactive Brokers’ positioning as a one‑stop global brokerage. By offering a broader array of markets, the firm differentiates itself from competitors that provide more limited geographic coverage.
Brazil’s B3 is a key driver of Latin America’s capital markets, and its inclusion signals Interactive Brokers’ commitment to serving investors who want exposure to emerging‑market growth. The expansion is likely to attract new clients and deepen engagement among existing ones, supporting the firm’s long‑term growth trajectory.
