How to get some yield if you have EUR account at IB

Not really. Depending on the account value and the idle cash is it less.

Who cares about 10k lolz, where do you think I got that number, it's from the page you screenshotted.

I wouldn't there keep hundreds K of idle EUR cash in IB. Better to keep it a EUR bank account (where you pay no interest) and instant transfer to IB when you need. Or...
Get another currency exposure like USD.
Until USD rates become also negative ...

Can't use it for margin if it's in a bank account. Don't want USD exposure since I don't live in the US.
 
Apparently It's not possible to respond to this topic w/o people getting pedantic about edge cases of the cash thresholds. Boring. Tell me something I can't look up with 2 clicks from IB's front page.
 
You want free lunch!
Can't get positive interests on EUR without risk. The risk-free rate is negative. End of the story!
I was explaining to you why someone might keep "hundreds K of idle EUR cash" or other forms of EUR exposure in their account.
