What iBroker does

iBroker Global Markets, S.V., S.A. is a Spain-domiciled online brokerage firm (Sociedad de Valores) regulated by the CNMV (registration number 260) and headquartered in Madrid. It operates a direct-to-consumer model targeting Spanish retail and professional investors with a multi-asset derivatives offering that spans futures and options on MEFF, EUREX and CME Group, OTC CFDs on Spanish/European/US equities, ETFs, indices and commodities, forex via LMAX, and cryptocurrency CFDs issued by LMAX Exchange. The company supports its offering with a proprietary web-based trading platform, native iOS and Android mobile apps, an exclusive-in-Spain TradingView integration, a telephone brokerage desk, and a curated catalogue of automated trading systems with over 20 years of operating history.

Underlying the platform is a multi-broker execution architecture that routes orders through venues and intermediaries including CME Group, EUREX, MEFF, LMAX, Saxo Bank, Altura Markets, and Straits Financial. Client funds are segregated daily across CaixaBank, Sabadell, Banca March and Eurex Clearing AG, and the firm is a member of Spain's FOGAIN investor compensation scheme. The technology stack is developed in-house in Spain, with standard third-party integrations for marketing analytics (Mixpanel, GA4), advertising (Google, Meta) and live chat support (Freshchat).

iBroker's revenue is transaction-fee based: per-contract commissions on futures and options (e.g., US$1.25 per E-mini S&P 500 contract, US$2.75 per micro gold contract), commissions on equity CFDs (0.08% on Spanish stocks, 1.25¢/share on US stocks), institutional spreads from LMAX on forex and crypto CFDs, and market-data subscription fees (with free real-time data for CME Group products and EUREX Level 1). The firm markets primarily through SEO, content (blog.ibroker.es), webinars, video education, Twitter/X, and earned media via the Rankia Awards, and distributes 100% digitally with no disclosed institutional or enterprise client relationships.
