Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@IBKR It's impossible to contact IBXR support: 1(877)442-2757, it doesn't work. I can only hope that the issue they fabricated to keep my $3464.85 cash will be returned to me someday. U25159972

-
Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown is an Australian driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?
-
Painpal (@painpalcapital) reported@IBKR maybe fix your damn servers?
-

-
Carlos Dos Santos (@_charles289) reportedHas anyone else had issues with Trading Permissions for US penny stocks on @IBKR? Their customer support isn't the best either... way too slow.
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@zxc68984008 @IBKR Low rates help, but leverage still magnifies mistakes. Read the margin rules, liquidation policy, and cash-rate eligibility before opening an account.
-
@Lionessxxxx (@Lionessxxxx1969) reported@IBKR Another load of bollox posted by google that has **** all to do with my UK timeline or interests. GOOGLE HAS REMOVED MY FACILITY TO REPORT SPAM/SCAM ADS BUT STILL BOMBARDS MY ACCOUNT & TIMELINE WITH **** ADS LIKE THIS. GOOGLE ARE THE BIGGEST SCAMMERS
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!
-
ndao poenya (@ndaopoenya_) reported@IBKR Hello IBKR Support Team, I'm from Indonesia and need your help accessing my IBKR account. I'm unable to set up Two-Factor Authentication (IBKR Mobile Authentication). When I try to log in, I can't complete the security verification process, so I'm locked out of my account.
-
Mihir (@mihirbenipuri) reported@ravihanda @IBKR Does this mean IBKR account creations are basically frozen till they sort this out? wtf
-
. (@outrasparada) reportedI just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, **** @IBKR You are SO full of **** I'm going to Webull.
-
Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR The worst platform I’ve ever used, customer service is terrible, you’re a bunch of thief’s charging me £75 for fail transaction and you’re nit even getting back to me. Warning do nit use this company they are the worst kind to deail with…
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@zxc68984008 @IBKR Trust is less about slogans than execution: custody, disclosures, uptime, and how problems are handled when markets are stressed.
-
MW (@mw_invests444) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR The interface isn't great not unlike IBKR but you seem ok with it. Decent control as you have with IBKR, selling lots, in app charts. Execution is good. Fx is currently 0.49% so that is a drawback and too high for me. There is a dumbed down app for basic use.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.
-
PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported@ross_w__ @IBKR I’m stuck on that **** show !! Currently down 500k and counting **** I wish I thought about using Kosdaq as an hedge to flatten out when they failed to take my orders yesterday night
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedOn @IBKR buy an options contract nothing wild just a put on a 100 lot of ZS. Contract was trading at .01 for the bid and .27 for the ask. I put the midway .14 literally smack in the middle. Contract instantly fills. For .21 lol like wtf man.
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@StateInterOffic @IBKR It's totally unacceptable. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.
-
Boosting Media (@Booster7860) reported@youngstockuser @IBKR Technical issues are always frustrating. Hope everything is back to normal.

Mendax Venatorem (@mendaxvenatorem) reported@IBKR Terrible

-
covertsah (@coversah) reportedI have never had a such a bad experience setting up a new brokage account @IBKR I fund it I choose the light plan but they give them the Pro plan that include commissions. So all my test trades pulled commissions today. I tried to enable trading for leveraged etfs they denied me won't say why, so i get to wait another 30 days to try again. Man if i had any other choice i would just withdraw the money move on but i don't.

Wealth Generator (@Wealth_G3n) reported@CapitalChr92373 @Therichardralph @IBKR Though some financial institutions will only allow a customer to open one account with them. While other FIs will let you open more than one
-
Leticia Ft (@letilibertad) reported@IBKR Sorry for my question but I'm out of the loop on BTS and Jikook news because I've had a terrible headache. Are Rm, Jin and Suga in Paris? I only saw V, Hope and Jk stuff in Paris.
