InterbankFX is NOT an ECN.

IB lists themselves as a liquidity provider so they can match trades between IB's customers.
Their commission is 0.2 pips each way with a minimum commission of $2.50. For USD accounts, the commission is calculated in the buying currency and immediately converted to USD at current rate.

It was a rhetorical question concerning the IBfx business model, not InteractiveBrokers IdealPro.
For those slow on the uptake, if you are not charged a commission and they make their profit in the difference in the spread, then they are manipulating the quote, which means they are not true ECN.
Yes, IBFX is a real ECN.
There are some banks making markets, you can also enter your limit order and go in front of them.
The commish is about the same as CME globex currency futures (retail), i.e. about $2 per $100k traded.

Again, for those slow on the uptake, you are quoting interactivebrokers fees. OP asked about interbankfx (IBfx).
The question again is:
Is interbank fx an ecn or a dealing desk?
based on their web page and choice of software, I am inclined to believe that they are a dealing desk broker.

Thought so as well, just that I thought I saw somewhere that they claimed ECN-ness. Could be wrong.
And yeah I too was befuddled with all the responses about IB-IDEALPRO.. Probably confused the issue though by having that in the subject.
