    Terrible customer service from @IBKR. Closed my account without any warning! Customer service can’t even give me a reason! Been a customer for years! Would never recommend this platform to anyone.

    @KeithMontana9 @IBKR Fix your scanners please. Havent worked in 3 weeks!!!! As soon as the market opens. They go blank

  • tempArb John Locke (@tempArb) reported

    hey @IBKR - how difficult is it turn around support requests within your own advertised timing (2 days is unacceptably long to begin with, but taking 5?) How hard is it to run a proper company?

  • chwuks Nick Miller Esq. (@chwuks) reported

    @IBKR how do I get through to your customer support?

  • lmaoski91 Lmaoski91 (@lmaoski91) reported

  • tempArb John Locke (@tempArb) reported

    @IBKR - and whilst you're at it, why don't you fix your crappy Java trading TWS on Big Sur? You call yourself a tech company? Have you used your own software?

  • floyernick Nick (@floyernick) reported

    @IBKR I'm calling your customer support in the US and Europe for 1 hour. No response. Chat doesn't work too. What the hell?

  • JesseNg63295873 Str8Ryder619 (@JesseNg63295873) reported

    @IBKR I'm worried about my account being hacked and I can't log in or email them. IBKR has the worst customer service of all. Total BS!!!

  • dizy666 KD (@dizy666) reported

    @IBKR waiting over two hours on the phone and got cut off. Sort your customer service out.

  • floyernick Nick (@floyernick) reported

    @IBKR I'm calling your customer support in the US and Europe for 1 hour. No response. Chat doesn't work too. Can you help?

  • JesseNg63295873 Str8Ryder619 (@JesseNg63295873) reported

    @Oliveira1063 @IBKR I am appreciate the suggestions. But I'll just wait till these clowns "FKN" pick up. Excuse my terrestre syndrome. I get like that when I deal with B's service.

  • ArgoBlockchain Argo (@ArgoBlockchain) reported

    We spoke with Interactive Brokers @IBKR regarding limiting stock - there isn't a block on their side anymore and people should be able to buy shares. Argo does not require KIDS or PRIIP documentation. Anyone with issues purchasing stock should contact them directly. #ARB $ARBKF

  • wachzolfe Zach (@wachzolfe) reported

    @IBKR why is there no one picking up their phones today? I’ve been on hold for several hours. Can your support staff call me directly please. It is urgent.

  • AmandaCStocks Amanda C (@AmandaCStocks) reported

    @IBKR fix your damn bid/ask glitch on the mobile app

  • eoinmullally Eoin (@eoinmullally) reported

    @IBKR customer service is not existence for the past months. I’ve been trying to speak with someone regarding me account. On hold for 2 hrs each time. Ridiculous

  • toucan456 Toucan456 (@toucan456) reported

    @ArgoBlockchain @IBKR Could you investigate the market spreads please. Sometimes 10p wife which is just under 10% of the company valuation. I accept on the open and in extreme volatility but not intra day. Doesn’t help the marketability to shareholders

  • millerd08648 millerd08648 (@millerd08648) reported

    @IBKR @barronsonline IBK cannot be voted the best 2x today called 45 minute hold times, tried chat and they could not help

  • JamieKennedy Jamie Kennedy (@JamieKennedy) reported

    So @IBKR does anyone ever actually pick up the phone for your customer service? I mean with all the stock talk going on, and being a loyal customer for 4 years, I would think you would be a lil more attentive. #HAVESOMEONEPICKUPTHEPHONE

  • OutLand52060308 Out Lander (@OutLand52060308) reported

    @lmaoski91 @IBKR @DirexionLETFs It is like that since yesterday, I believe they are locking access outside US opening hours... No support, no call nothing.... no services. Scaring.
