Interactive Brokers (IBKR - Free Report) launches its IBKR Lite plan in Singapore, offering investors in the country a commission-free way to trade U.S. stocks and ETFs around the clock.

IBKR has been continuously making efforts to diversify its product suite to expand globally. This and the firm’s efforts to develop proprietary software to automate broker-dealer functions have been aiding top-line growth.

Over the last five years (2019-2024), the company’s total net revenues witnessed a compound annual growth rate of 21.8%, with the upward momentum continuing in the first half of 2025.

Given Interactive Brokers’ technological superiority, its revenues are expected to continue to improve in the quarters ahead, supported by higher client acquisitions.
