I have been using IB for a couple of months for US and ASX
share. ( EOD Trading)
The platform is good with access to a huge range of trading instruments
... brokerage is also very competitive.
The account application forms are quite lengthy and there was a
lot of US jargon that I was not familiar with (as I live in OZ ).
I also had to go to the bank and wire funds for initial funding of
the account ( was costly) although I now believe this can be done via EFT
to IB’s local Sydney bank A/C.
( yet to confirm that!)
Their helpdesk for OZ is out of Hong Kong and there are some
accent difficulties discussing matters.
However “all in all” the experience so far has been
good and the cheaper brokerage alone made it worth the effort.
Happy to discuss further if you wish.

I am also considering a move to IB for use as
an 'international'
trading platform and I am in the middle of doing my homework at the
moment.
Surely there is someone with IB international experience who can help
us with some tips?
