T-bills at IB discontinued?

R

random

Is anyone able to buy T-bills at IB? I have the correct permissions in account setup. When I try to buy T-bills I get a message saying "no trading permissions, regulatory restriction". I asked IB and was told they no longer offer treasuries. Nonetheless, I'm still able to get quotes on bills/bonds and they still show them as offered on their web site. Can anyone confirm that IB no longer offers treasuries?

Thanks.
 
I can't confirm that for Treasuries but many times I have put in an order for a bond purchase and have received the same message. So getting quotes is no guarantee that IB handles the security.
 
T-bills are now considered far too risky for IB accounts; thus, they have discontinued their trading on the IB platform.

Considering all of the fear that is permeating through the financial sector, I think that IB's stock isn't doing that badly either. Just take a look at SWIM (could be worse).
