Addendum: the minimum monthly fee seems to have been removed...

I haven't really looked into this, but I thought it was removed only for their new entry-level account type "IBKR Lite" which had other disadvantages? Different interest rates, etc.
The headline of that account is "no commissions", but (there ain't no thing as a free lunch) it doesn't include the usual "smart routing" which is what gets you the best executions. Payment for order flow??
But at a quick glance, maybe you're right, it seems there is no longer a minimum maintenance fee for either account tier.

Sorry for not being more specific.

Jim
