  @Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.

  BorrisBOMBA (@thecracker_23) reported 1 minute ago

  @IBKR Hi @IBKR why is it so difficult to reach out to your customer support?

• 
  Sr Investidor (@SrInvestidor) reported 2 minutes ago

  @IBKR Unfortunately support is not being very helpful, their response is always that there is no ECD and no mitigation and that they are waiting for “the developers response”, we are close to a month wait now, I was hoping you could shake things up a little bit

  @IBKR I don't have money to invest. That is my main problem

  @IBKR I find myself having to shut down and restart Traders Workstation twice a day. It is slow and a pain in the ***. I truly have had a terrible experience at IB. Good luck trying to talk to an actual person to get any type of support.

  Sidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).

  @IBKR No I'm moving to another brokerage. It's 2026 I'm not submitting web tickets when I'm trading $100k positions. You guys can pick up a phone like every other normal brokerage. Take some tips from Schwab and you guys need better customer service, app UX and really everything.

  @IBKR **** your opportunities. Stay in your damn third world countries.

  Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported 8 minutes ago

  Good grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!

• 
  Martin BC (@MARTINPARK111) reported 13 minutes ago

  @IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.

  @IBKR you want to margin call me without notifying me? On a recorded call you said you sent me a notification. I’m telling you I didn’t get one. Had I gotten one, I would have put more liquid in my account! **** you! I can’t win. Everyone wants my money! **** you

  @IBKR customer support is abysmal.

  @jzrdan @IBKR You obvhourly signed up for new issue IPO alerts, receiving email notifications is standard....

  @ilia_el_pro @MaxCarozza @IBKR I had the same issue. Seems like they are scrambling to fill the book.

  @JoachimMo1985 @IBKR I'm not sure about issues at IBKR specifically, but having worked for a few brokers, I can tell you that the tech department usually comes third or fourth in priority. These organizations are typically led by marketing, followed by corporate roles (risk management, strategy).

  @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.

  Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reported 28 minutes ago

  I think @IBKR is the worst website interface and support experience I have ever had. That includes the DMV, gov tax website, etc.

  @IBKR IBKR, I am a refugee and I want to support you, but you use address verification to shut me out.

• 
  Boris Povolotsky (@Borispov_) reported 31 minutes ago

  @hanshaozi @IBKR I’m interested, too. @IBKR Would you at least address this issue publicly and state when do you plan on removing PDT rule??

• 
  yd (@kyingda) reported 31 minutes ago

  @IBKR what are you going to do about my account that still has money inside but able to sign in or reset, stupid thing is, I need to sign in to submit a ticket. Phone support not useful, they say unable to find my account. I have screenshots of me transferring money in the account

  @IBKR what a painful experience is to use Interactive Brokers. Avoid it at all means. The server doesnt work or it is very slow way to often.

  @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Worst is anything automation. They are lunatics with that front

• 
  Garry Walker (@GarryWalker) reported 35 minutes ago

  @IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.

• 
  jpemberthy (@jpemberthy) reported 40 minutes ago

  @alexkingsays @AskRobinhood Rey. Same experience. I eventually moved everything to @IBKR and haven’t looked back. Brokerage for adults, and actual customer support when you need it.

  @Fidelity having problems two mornings in a row. Time to start shuffling money to @IBKR

• 
  Outlier Capital (@outlierrcapital) reported 42 minutes ago

  @IBKR You are a terrible company and my fund would currently be performing better if it was elsewere

• 
  🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported 43 minutes ago

  If a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?

•

  @IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!
