They do offer an ISA.
I closed my account there, but I do remember reading they could access and import your shares from other brokers. Consolidate your portfolio. Iām sure you pay for it, but it can be done is all I am saying
I can find no information about an IBKR ISA but that aside portfolio transfers are possible 1) between one share ISA and another share ISA (ie if you are transferring an old ISA to a new broker) or 2) from one broker investment account to another broker investment account.
Iām not clear what this has to do with Options. If you have a general investment account (or in the case of IBKR a leveraged/margin account) then you can cover options from general investments
Most people arenāt super rich on here, so they donāt have hundreds of shares of the same stock spread across multiple accounts, margin or otherwise. Thats the whole point. People want to protect their investments, or make passive income off the shares in their ISA. Thats the connection re: ISA and Options
@WakeMeUp āI can find no information about an IBKR ISAā
OK thank they offer an ISA which google doesnāt know about. Back to my comment, Options arenāt possible in an ISA and if you want a covered option it is covered by a general investment/margin account. When the Option expires the broker has to deliver (or receive) the shares. They canāt do that from an ISA.
If you only want to invest via an ISA thatās fine but you will not be trading Options
Because nobody wants to pay capital gains tax!! 
I wonder if a collateral account could somehow work, where the shares in the ISA are āexcerised in escroeā, or some other way.
Iām not sure that you understand Options. You are wanting to change the stock market. Also to trade Options has capital requirements so you will not get an account to trade Options if you canāt meet the capital requirements (including requirement set by the stock exchange ie SEC). Also if you donāt want to pay CGT then you arenāt going to trade Options.
If you have options then on expiry you need to be able to deliver or receive the shares and thatās simply not possible from an ISA (eg you canāt just transfer 100 NVDA shares into an ISA on Option expiry)

It will be interesting to see what T212 does offer but an Option is for 100 shares so a single option for NVDA is for roughly $90k of stock

okay but what about say lloyds ?
Thereās lots of affordable stocks to try Options strategies with.
Youāre right, Iād love to learn a lot more about Options, but do it in a safe way. Thats why I want these guys here at T212 to do it, IBKR overwhelmed me and the customer service was diabolical. Took my money out and left. Super high fees as well

IBKR donāt have a great reputation for support and I think (purely personal view) their platform is complex and not very user friendly. It is a very powerful platform and has some very good features but overall Iām not a massive fan. That said, if you want to just have fun you can open a demo/paper account and trade Options with virtual money

I think Degiro allow you to trade options for European stocks if you were interested in that. I found the tests you have to do to gain access to different instruments/markets quite informative really.

Just use IBKR for options and T212 for everything else. Itās no biggie.
There are no updates as weāve been busy rolling out other features and improvements. Still, as soon as we have any news regarding options, weāll notify the Community right away
