They hold checks for 14 business days, ACH deposits take a min f 5 biz days to clear. Others brokers clear funds immediately. Dealing with them on the phone for cust service isssues can be an adventure. If you make a ton of trades and or trade options IB is for you. If you dont trade a ton go with Ameritrade or Etrade
