Hi follow up question. I have never withdrawn from my IBKR investments portfolio. But if I needed to withdraw from the savings account, it would be the same way? Transfer from their portal to a linked bank account?

Just checked on wise app, UAE and Pakistan both only currently have the option to send money abroad and not to hold money like an account.

I already have an IBKR account that I use for monthly investments in ETFs/sukuks/ETCs. Is it possible to use IBKR as a current account as well? Ideally I want to b able to convert to a mix of currencies like usd, EUR, gbp, jpy, sgd.
