Does anyone use CIM Banque as online broker? They claim to use Interactive Brokers' platform and their charges doesn't seem to be abusive (need to check where are the "hidden" taxes):

Did a search about IB's partners in Switzerland and this seemed to be a fair choice:

Wondered what advantages I could have (if any) by using directly IB in the US or UK, given that I'm not a citizen from any of those countries.

Hi Leo,
I am wondering if you ever had an answer about this.
Did you go with IB or CIM ? Any experience?
Thanks!

Admittedly, I know nothing about cimbanque.

but there are huge advantages of having IB account as non US national, like:
- IB does not report to foreign governments.. for now.
- best ever currency exchange rates.
- best commissions and access to world markets.
