  • vishwathparth Vishwath Parthasarathy 🇮🇳 📈 (@vishwathparth) reported

    @IBKR - I’m trying to convert my cash account to a margin account, but the option is greyed out in the account settings. When I raised a ticket, support said they can’t share why it’s disabled, and also won’t say what’s needed to enable it. What kind of pathetic support is this?

  • Amrut606 Amrut (@Amrut606) reported

    @IBKR I have called various times but no answer.. Seems you guys are scammer and no customer service.

  • SmokingJay Smoking Jay Stocks and Bets 💰 (@SmokingJay) reported

    @Abu1Jack @IBKR Gotcha I haven’t had issue just was wondering how others were doing. A little curious why it dipped while HOND and OKLO are ripping

    @IBKR Hi, would you give current rate of the call rate witch you call it interest rate to grant cash interest bearing on average Cr. balance & if its fix or float rate & if you deduct cash & legal reserves from the average Cr.balnce or not. I see it's 3.83% in your AD Above.

  • naasvzyl Ignatius van Zyl (@naasvzyl) reported

    $GME Today it is a week ago that I submitted my request to @IBKR to DRS my warrants. It said it could take up to 4 days, yet it is STILL being processed!!! I believe there is a huge problem with an enormous shortage of $GME warrants. When I DRSd shares ion the past, it didn't that this long. Has anybody successfully DRSd warrants yet? Please say from which broker.

  • Coach_ChrisG Chris Gallagher (@Coach_ChrisG) reported from Pretoria, Gauteng

    @IBKR I am a .co.uk customer but can't log in to my account Can I have an email address to speak to your staff please?

  • Jasper___D Jasper van Dijk (@Jasper___D) reported

    So @IBKR @IBKR_Europe seem to have issues. It keeps logging me out and half the UI isn't showing.

  • Amrut606 Amrut (@Amrut606) reported

    @IBKR Can you share customer service number for Netherlands

  • AleM_LB Ale M (@AleM_LB) reported

    Dear @IBKR @IBKR_Europe why you are not allowing to buy $BITF call options today? Please solve this issue immediately otherwise it seems you are manipulating to stock market.

  • Regadenoson Punjabi_DadMD (@Regadenoson) reported

    @YungAds_ @IBKR I use fidelity, Merrill and IBKR. I love @IBKR the most. Merrill is the worst.

  • BossBlunts1 The Butcher of Wall Street Marcel Kalinovic (@BossBlunts1) reported

    @marianne2themo1 @IBKR @LitXchangeApp That is not what the statement above says. It says if you do it on expiration you must reach out to customer service. That is what manual exercise means just a heads up

  • CoachPaulBrake Paul Brake: City Council Candidate 2025 (@CoachPaulBrake) reported

    @IBKR Gold just broke $4200 with no signs of slowing down. You are in the greatest recession in history, and you don't even know it. The American Dollar is WORTHLESS!

  • thomas_all9835 Thomas Allen (@thomas_all9835) reported

    @IBKR We're in in one well feel it when the grid goes down

  • oldarmy1 OA1 Disciplined Trading Service www.OA1Trading.com (@oldarmy1) reported

    @AndyLee62910233 @WellsFargo Part of @IBKR service

  • BestUppercase David Case (@BestUppercase) reported

    @shimidds @TT_stocks_ @IBKR Did you find a better service for TSX.V stuff in the end? IBKR looks to be 0.5%+0.5% in and out in most practical cases plus a tiny bit on exchange/fx fees.

  • AniKalburgi Aniruddha Kalburgi (@AniKalburgi) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR_Europe I had to spend 1 hr with your customer service on call just to get it all sorted, but I'm sorted now! So frustrating that calling during work hours was the only option!

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon IBKR desktop is taking nearly 20 seconds to load a chart. Very very slow. And I have super fast internet.

  • Shalle94 Shalle (@Shalle94) reported

    Hello @IBKR will you support holding USD in Swedish ISK accounts? Other brokers let us hold USD in ISK. Adding this would make IBKR ISK unbeatable!

  • tumsijs Mo_od (@tumsijs) reported

    @ChadSteingraber @eToro and @IBKR didn't notice any problems yesterday- all worked fine as usually

  • Abu1Jack طويق (@Abu1Jack) reported

    @SmokingJay Yes big issue as well, they will convert my shares 14 of October. Until then, I cannot do anything. @IBKR is the worse broker in history.

  • fightoracle FightOracle ™🇺🇸 ₿ (@fightoracle) reported

    @Bigf000000t @HighYieldHustle it is on @IBKR. 31% initial margin. 26% maintenance margin

  • fta_kra KraFtaVerK (@fta_kra) reported

    @TJTheWheelDeal It seems most brokers are doing a poor job at customer service.. meanwhile I’m already waiting for over a week (and 3 reminders) for @IBKR to get back to me.. such a shame, paying 5 digits in commission per year.

  • Abu1Jack طويق (@Abu1Jack) reported

    @MicrocapTrader @7thDayTrading The same here with @IBKR the worst broker in history

  • fta_kra KraFtaVerK (@fta_kra) reported

    @IBKR A couple hundred bucks in commissions later.. still no reply from you guys @IBKR . You would almost expect an answer shortly and a compensation in terms of a credit for future commissions to make up for the poor customer service..!

  • GodInSg GodInSG (@GodInSg) reported

    @IBKR worst customer service ever. It’s impossible to get through to you even after entering account number etc ?? #NIGHTMARE

  • AniKalburgi Aniruddha Kalburgi (@AniKalburgi) reported

    @IBKR I'm locked out of IBKR account, I can't login to browser - says verification token sent to email, which I'm not receiving since last 3 days, called helpdesk, only options are to close position at 30$ fee otherwise call disconnects in any other circumstaces

  • AhmetSunelcan1 Ahmet Sunelcan (@AhmetSunelcan1) reported

    @IBKR Could you please fix the trading platform? There are login issues, and it’s quite slow, it would be great if you could check it out.

  • Bigf000000t Billy Bob (@Bigf000000t) reported

    @fightoracle @HighYieldHustle @IBKR I think I even have an account there, just have to wait for my bonuses from Webull to hit my account, then will definitely switch. They are slow to pay dividends as well 😑
