  • KalasGeorge George Kalas (@KalasGeorge) reported

    @resharmonica @IBKR I have closed the account, ten days later I’m still waiting for the money, I glad you were able to solve your problem.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • resharmonica Reshamonica 💎📚 (@resharmonica) reported

    @KalasGeorge @IBKR Just to inform other contact - seekers. After 3 days battle finally got in touch with the Hong - Kong team. If some of you guys is seeking for the phone assistance get in touch with them. Still doesn't understand why @IBKR do not provide service in Europe

  • 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?

  • xxcc1004 새별이 (@xxcc1004) reported

    @IBKR May I have your customer service email? Thank you. I want to chat with your customer service, but it doesn’t work well.

  • OutLand52060308 Out Lander (@OutLand52060308) reported

    @IBKR Is it the system down? I can not access to my account and no feedback on the support emails....

  • 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

  • cjsnyder919 CjSnyper (@cjsnyder919) reported

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

  • TheresaIkoko TheresaIkoko (@TheresaIkoko) reported

    @IBKR been on hold for an hour. Are service centres actually open?

  • princemaraf Michael Pokemon (@princemaraf) reported

    @Davidskylarkk @IBKR The damn broker! Only can close position

  • 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?

  • Dcoldest4 d’coldest (@Dcoldest4) reported

    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.

  • lv_1 Lovesh Vashist (लवेश वशिष्ठ), MM (@lv_1) reported

    Is there any problem at @IBKR India platform? More than an hour on the phone and stuck in an IVRS loop, waiting for a representative.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Fox_in_the_hole King_Tutu (@Fox_in_the_hole) reported

    @ArgoBlockchain @IBKR Having real problems with Lehman Brothers. They aren't even picking up the phone or Bear Sterns for the that matter.

  • chwuks Nick Miller Esq. (@chwuks) reported

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

  • cjsnyder919 CjSnyper (@cjsnyder919) reported

    @IBKR @DirexionLETFs What is the problem with the advanced scanners on your tws? Havent worked for 3 weeks. What is the issue?

  • 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

  • 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!!!
