Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
The EV Hunter (@LastGambler_777) reported@IBKR I do not recommend IB, terrible costumer service. Just look how they answer people on the comment section here. I have a position for several years due to a short on a company that did a merger that they never close and refuse to allow a cashout.
-
MilesHighClub (@mileshighclubb) reported@cobie @buyerofponzi @IBKR brother is so bored he yearns for customer service. hey man I'm missing like 10k from my cb account.
-
𝗠𝗲𝗲𝗽™ (@Meeptimelive) reported@TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Llc with liquidity problems nothing to be ashamed of. What factor rate are you looking for?
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.
-
S Sanzhi Kobzhanov (@Sanji_vals) reported@IBKR amazing trade terminal and fundamentals explorer! loving IB TWS, but if you lose you phone, the only way to restore your access to your account is to call them via phone and verify. no other options. customer support chat is only available for someone who logged in but you can't do that if your phone is stolen. they could have verified clients via google meet or Skype, but no, you have to call directly.
-
cryptoworldrich.eth (@spectrelb) reported@IBKR Could you change the requirement for proof of overseas address to proof of address? Countless Chinese people are blocked from registering because of this address issue.
-
FrontRowBrian™ 🇺🇸 ₿ (@FrontRowBrian) reported@Cernovich and if you're going to borrow against your securites, use the right broker. @IBKR has *half* the rates of some higher profile brokerages and most equites require only 25% margin maintenance. Same equity on ETRADE or the like is 50% or even 100%.
-
Bubble Trouble (@SkillJoyed) reportedI’ve never been so let down by the UI of any application in my life as I am by @IBKR . I’m serious. Every little tasks rains a parade of bugs. Just do the thing!
-
kai (@kaiwondr) reported@aleabitoreddit @IBKR fix this
-
SpackySpacky (@spactastical) reported@IBKR One of the least aesthetically designed desktops and least intuitive interfaces every made. So bad it actually takes effort.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR I would really appreciate if every response did not say the same thing. Then I would know I am actually talking to a person and not a computer-generated response. That just shows how little you truly care about customer service and why you are in my opinion the worst
-
Dun (@mikegor52933) reported@IBKR Genuinely shittiest trading app I’ve ever experienced Says my application was cancelled, but I tried to register a new account and it says my email is already registered. Can’t see **** after login sometimes, only left with user settings which I can’t even change ****
-
Fumbles with Money (@moneyfumbler) reported@IBKR I just tried to open Live Chat, to get support, and all I get is Error 403 - Access Denied. Can you fix your platform, please?
-
Prof.Coin 𝕏 (@Crypto_Educator) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR They grew too fast and their support has always been the weakest link
-
Capital Helmut 69 (@FranklinBobMor1) reported@coinbase is such a piece of garbage, this happens on a regular basis, especially when you try to send crypto elsewhere. Can you imagine @IBKR or @Fidelity ever being down even once? Even if they were, they have customer service numbers you can call, unlike Clownbase. F these guys.
-
chris24.eth 🟦 (@chris24eth) reported@IBKR The last broker to remove PDT restrictions. This number will go down
-
MikasaSukasa (@MikasaSukasaN) reported@IBKR I am ok with a slow server if you guys find a way for people to invest directly from pakistan without having to use @wise or some other roundabout method
-
GardinerIslandCapital (@GardinerIsland) reportedc'mon .@IBKR .... $ARLP went ex-*** on 60 cents today it closed at $25.55 yesterday and being at $25.10 today is green 15 cents , not red 45 cents Bloomberg also saying same error fix ya crappy systems
-
Sachin (@bitcoin__asset) reported@IBKR I opened account..and trust me your system is pathetic..worst app performance..overall you are one of the worst exchange where i opened account and i regret this decision
-
Himanshu (@hmnsh18) reported@IBKR Your account opening procedure is pathetic.. No customer support and no clear communication why a particular document is rejected My brother is trying to open the account from Saudi for last 2 months and always there is some document is pending
-
Volatility (@EdwardAmar46469) reported@IBKR IBKR sucks horrible desktop and worse mobile app! Cluttered god awful! Switch to $HOOD!
-
Marco (@marcoaam95) reported@IBKR It's been 2 months I requested a modification of my name and other data in the platform and didn't receive any response. That's not serious, how do you expect me to transfer a large amount of funds if customer support is inexistent?
-
DismalDeFi (@DismalDefi) reported@IBKR @Cboe I don’t understand how Interactive Brokers remains in business. They have the world’s worst customer service.
-
personal_cxk (@DzunLIvBzQrdSaH) reported@IBKR Authorization with the MCP server failed. You can check your credentials and permissions. If this persists, share this reference with support: "ofid_4cae1cb49557c937"
-
Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reportedJust got all my clients to accept leaving @IBKR for another broker. Feels good. It's not the stinking pile that is TWS, or the costs, or the smug arrogance of the back office. It's the mindset that produced layer upon layer of problems with security, the API, and data calls.
-
Addy Potler (@addypotler) reported@IBKR **** your opportunities. Stay in your damn third world countries.
-
Vj (@VJ_303) reported@IBKR Still you are looking HELPLESS in providing me direct contact number where I can call and clarify. That's why I am afraid to open account with #bkr as where I will contact after opening account if something big issues or fraud happened, ...my hard earned money go stucked???
-
Leandro Biderman (@LBTaikonauta) reported@SpaceX ****, only open to US residents in @IBKR
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Your investment into support is FAQ and AI. That is not helpful. What is helpful is talking to people. Hire people to do the job not a robot because trying to navigate you FAQ and AI to get to a location to speak with a person is a frustrating nightmare.
