It’s gonna be very basic beyond the classic competency questions (which you have to have nailed) so knowing anything about IB, especially company specific, will look good. 

For example: 

What is market making?

What trading desks do we have? (think fixed income, equities, commodities)

Why do you want to work at X bank? (some bs about new initiatives or leading crypto thing would work here)

Current view on market? Risks? 

What is the primary/secondary market?
