Senior Notes Payable [Abstract]  
Senior Notes Payable 17. Senior Notes Payable

IBG LLC from time to time may offer senior notes in private placements to certain qualified customers of IB LLC at an issue price of $1 thousand dollars per note. The senior notes will mature no later than the thirtieth day following the issuance date. IBG LLC, at its option, may redeem the senior notes at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the senior notes to be redeemed, plus accrued. The senior notes will pay a fixed rate of interest during their tenure. The interest rate is calculated by adding the benchmark rate to a rate (spread) that IBG LLC will announce from time-to-time. The benchmark rate is the effective federal funds rate as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the morning of the date of the offering. IBG LLC intends to use the proceeds for general financing purposes when interest spread opportunities arise.

The carrying value of the senior notes approximate their fair value since they are short-term in nature. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, IBG LLC issued senior notes of $1,237 million and redeemed senior notes of $1,081 million, respectively. The senior notes carried a weighted average interest rate of 1%. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, IBG LLC had senior notes outstanding of $252 million and $96 million, respectively, all of which carried a 1% per annum interest rate, and are included in short-term borrowings in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. All the outstanding senior notes at June 30, 2021 were redeemed by August 9, 2021. In addition, the Company issued and redeemed $192 million of senior notes during the period from July 1, 2021 through August 9, 2021. Interest expense on the senior notes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1 million.
