    @etrade Hey im trying to add my bank using instant verifications, but all it does is load and load then it quits. any help?

  • ebrotrades ebrotrades (@ebrotrades) reported

    @Benzinga @etrade never stopped trades, just asked you to call customer service, probably because their online platform is overwhelmed. Sticking with 'em!

  • fumoffu_fmp フッモッフ (@fumoffu_fmp) reported

    @etrade I can't do anything on the site nor contact support because the contact page is broken who can we email for support? I can login but then it keeps saying I don't have an account...How did I login then!?

  • JayCee1990 Jay Cee Cruz (@JayCee1990) reported

    In 2018 I opened a @RobinhoodApp due to its user friendly platform. However, due to their lack of transparency and constant issues, especially after the whole #GME debacle, I decided to shift my entire stock portfolio to @etrade. Everyone deserves a chance to #invest.

  • JimsyFlimsy JimsyFlimsy (@JimsyFlimsy) reported

    @etrade @pennystawkcawk “Your call could not be completed due to technical difficulties. Please try calling again later. Goodbye.” Now $20 is stuck in my account without me being able to withdraw it because “new accounts within 60 days are not allowed to withdraw”. Non-existent customer service.

  • mysticmanish Manish Naik (@mysticmanish) reported

    @etrade refer a friend link is broken. Please fix asap. folks looking to join.

  • ben_weller Ben Weller (@ben_weller) reported

    As I’m on hold trying to move my accounts from @Ally, I can’t help but notice that the @etrade hold music sounds like the soundtrack from a very happy adult movie from the 70s.

  • Prodigy_Bets Prodigy Bets (@Prodigy_Bets) reported

    @MrBSwartz @RobinhoodApp I use @etrade and have minimal, if any, issues.

  • jlong78la My son calls me Captain Bartlett (@jlong78la) reported

    @etrade can you tell me of how i can get in touch with someone there? Calling during my lunch break for the past 4 days is not working due to i only have 45 mins that i can stay on hold waiting.

  • CodLucid Lucid_US (@CodLucid) reported

    @FreightTrainUSA @etrade I can’t use any of mine from 3 days ago what ******** dude

  • j_helfrich_ Jameson Helfrich 🇺🇲⚓ (@j_helfrich_) reported

    I just tried to call @etrade's support line because I'm having issues on their website and the system hung up on me, lol. None of these brokers were ready for the meme wave

  • EricFerrone OneBigElf (@EricFerrone) reported

    @etrade anyone else getting a “due to technical difficulties the call can not be completed” message when calling customer service? Odd.

  • TradingAloha Trading With Aloha (@TradingAloha) reported

    I trashed @etrade a lot this week for issues on Monday and Tuesday but they are far superior to @RobinhoodApp and their band of thieves. #DeleteRobinhood

  • 25woodstock Schneider (@25woodstock) reported

    @PGARicky @etrade Except that the Robinhood CEO admitted there wasn't a liquidity issue; and instead had "requirements to it's clearinghouses and net capital requirements with the SEC". I can see them restricting margin trading, but retail share purchases? And allowing "selling only"?

  • CS786110 CS (@CS786110) reported

    @etrade @pennystawkcawk Sad to see that Etrade hasn't replied to one complaint on here or even acknowledged there was a problem. We can't get through on the phone or on the live chat as that is broken. Time to switch brokerage as they don't seem to care.

  • MattySaint Matt Saint (@MattySaint) reported

    @DrewAustin @etrade Never had 1 issue with E*TRADE

  • ViceVersaYT ViceVersa 💭 (@ViceVersaYT) reported

  • danjbianchini Daniel Bianchini (@danjbianchini) reported

    @etrade - your customer service portal isn't working and I cannot make trades as you say I have insufficient balance despite my account clearly showing I have cash.

  • ChristopherLe99 Christopher Le (@ChristopherLe99) reported

    @etrade fix your ****, 2 months power E*TRADE been ******* up...

  • matthacker Matt Hacker (@matthacker) reported

    @etrade I have been on hold for 45 minutes. All I need help with is changing my password. The Symantec VIP code isn't working for me and I need to talk to someone about getting logged into my account. 45 minutes!! Online chat wait is 2+ hours! Help!

  • amandalepre Amanda Lepre (@amandalepre) reported

    @etrade I've had an E*TRADE account for 5 years, yet a mysterious "error" occurs when I try to add an external bank account. I think I know what's happening here.

  • WhiskyEyeBrews Tessa “Burn it all down” Rouillard (@WhiskyEyeBrews) reported

    @etrade My login says I need to call you due to unusual activity, yet I'm on hold for HOURS then get disconnected. I try chat, and get a red error saying "something went wrong" when I try to connect. This is AWFUL customer service. Maybe @Fidelity will be a better option now.

  • CHUCKG73 VEGASCHARK (@CHUCKG73) reported

    Is @etrade platform super slow and lagging or is it just my computer or internet? Asking for a friend. #Etrade

  • ruprechtsfork John (@ruprechtsfork) reported

    @25woodstock @etrade I’ve had no problems on Fidelity.

  • jwebbs33 webberman (@jwebbs33) reported

    @etrade I’ve been trying for 3 days to get through on the phone. Also the chat service is down. Not good service

  • bretjohnson11 bret johnson (@bretjohnson11) reported

    @etrade pay your bills!! Your site is as slow as the old dial up Internet!!! #DoBetter

  • dontfeedthetree Jon Fournier (@dontfeedthetree) reported

    @etrade I’d love to use this advice but your website is broken and 260+ minute wait for support. I need my seat to board the 🌕🚀
