    Avoid @IBKR at all cost. Worst company in the world. If you forget your username, good luck closing your account before they charge you a silly inactive account fee! Customer support doesnt answer and you're left running in circles! JUST CLOSE MY ACCOUNT!

  • CarloCuzzy Cuz003 (@CarloCuzzy) reported

    @IBKR Customer service????

  • BaeCitizen citizen bae (@BaeCitizen) reported

    @IBKR I have been waiting 75 min yo get through to customer service. How about you invest in that department. This company is going to go bankrupt. Terrible service 💩

    @IBKR After having profound problems and now seeing the Twitter comments about IBKR - there’s clearly foul play.

  • GrayTendo Gray (@GrayTendo) reported

    @IBKR In regard to the $GTII Warrant situation. Will you let Shareholders instruct you to transfer their Warrants to the Transfer Agent: Liberty Stock Transfer. I've had no success from your Customer service and have had only contradictory responses. Many thanks

  • ShamusJ909 ShamusJ (@ShamusJ909) reported

    @IBKR Your server is offline, and your server status page says “no issues”?

  • Euoamerican Paolo (@Euoamerican) reported

    @IBKR The worst broker ever. The worst and slowest customer service ever. Avoid @ibkr !

  • JohnSomerset1 John Somerset (@JohnSomerset1) reported

    @IBKR But it is so complex / an admin hurdle to get a margin loan even though I am a customer (individual a/c) with a sizable balance. I do not understand why IBKR makes clients provide a credit report when the onus should be on IBKR to do this and underwriting appropriately.

  • m7mdghnam m7md (@m7mdghnam) reported

    @robjh2 @IBKR I have same issues

  • StockNick1 Stonk Nick (@StockNick1) reported

    @MattRiv2 @AlexDelarge6553 30x your time in 5 trading days. Wow wtf!! My broker doesn't let me trade this one even though it's pink current and is no different to a bunch of other otc plays I'm in. Care to answer @IBKR ??

  • SocietyGoBrrrrr fourth turning capital (@SocietyGoBrrrrr) reported

    @MarkGutman9 lol it's been the same stupid recording since this time last year. they haven't gotten around to updating it. to be fair I think their customer service has gotten a lot better, but a platitude recording that's used to justify potentially bad service is not a good look @IBKR

  • Gyrene4341 Brian (@Gyrene4341) reported

    @JeffAmazonX @IBKR No problem! It’ll only cost you a paltry 0.9%, too!!! Would you like that with a side of ETFs?

    @IBKR They checked my documents for three months and didn't give me access to the trade. The website is slow, you can't get through on the phone. In general, the impression that some small and cheap office. IB works like turtles and sloths. I had to close an unopened account

  • NawafLove NaWaF⁦ 🇺🇸⁩ (@NawafLove) reported

  • B_Shugs Beth Sugrue (@B_Shugs) reported

    @IBKR has locked up over $60,000 of our Investment Club's money. Worst customer service ever! I've spent 6+ hours on hold in the last 3 months. I have asked to withdraw funds and their website says "The functionality is currently not available". NEVER do business with this CO
