-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I have spent the week trying to get thru to a person to talk to about my account. Your automated phone service hangs up when you select speak to agent. It tells you to log in but it does not log in. And tells you contact customer service for login assistance.
-
Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@OverWeightStock @IBKR But the worst customer service!
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@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.

Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@kyingda @IBKR 1(877)4422757 This number and the other one are a FARCE, there is no contact, it is IMPOSSIBLE, thousands of issues without answers, the INCOMPETENCE and NEGLIGENCE of ibxr diminished customer service.U25159972

Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @Paysafe @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!
-
Dan Elton (@moreisdifferent) reported@NotA_Bull you guys have been posting so much FUD all weekend I opened up @GodelTerminal and @IBKR expecting a slaughterhouse scene, and ... it's not that bad? And the $VIX is still relatively low at 15.27
-
FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported@IBKR Worst broker for trading small caps on the planet. They will lock you from exiting your position whenever they feel like it and you will lose 5-10x more before the cap is lifted.
-
Driving the Future (@driving_tf) reported@IBKR I wont even try to open an account. Too many people I know and respect complain your UI is horrible. Not going to until you guys get inboard and invest in your mobile and desktop UI
-
Peter Penny (@PeterCarli28957) reported@CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR No it isn’t- I tried that. It’s free IF you only trade market hours- anything PM OR AH is 1% fees. Not to mention when I went to pull my money out they made me send my ID AND a video of me holding up my passport saying who I was lmao. Again worst broker I’ve ever had and I’ve had every single one
-
invoker🎮 (@AnhDaDen811) reported@IBKR But what about those who've had bad experiences with them?
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@IBKR It's impossible to contact IBXR support: 1(877)442-2757, it doesn't work. I can only hope that the issue they fabricated to keep my $3464.85 cash will be returned to me someday. U25159972
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedMy goodness I can't wait to leave @IBKR now Friday and today always communication errors when trying to load the option chain and can't make a move. You guys absolutely suck and don't care a bit about your clients. Spare me the web ticket message you're about to drop.
-
Adonis (@yao_yao520) reported@AshknKW @IBKR I'm having the same problem - suddenly can't log in.
-
Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reportedAfter @DoorDash, @RobinhoodApp is now launching an MCP server to work with agents directly. The fact that they're opening to agents is the tell that the UX/UI moat these consumer platforms built is already eroding, and in a few years it won't be worth much. DoorDash is better positioned than Robinhood thanks to its physical delivery infrastructure. If @IBKR or other cheaper brokers open agent access, Robinhood is in real trouble (execution is a commodity the moment the agent is the user).
-
David Silva Smith (@DavidSilvaSmith) reportedplus 12 messages across two support tickets. @IBKR please help me resolve this URGENT issue.
-
Ross (@F1ashmanR) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR Do they have a cash isa you can easily transfer between? Same issue as you with trading 212, fees are high on the fx if scalp trading, Anything small cap is slow and generally poor execution price in comparison to my IG trading account
-
Drago (@Dragonito007) reported@AshknKW @IBKR Bro I sold a lot of things 15 minutes before the crash I would go crazy now if I didn't.
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@IBKR A platform upgrade is only meaningful if order routing, outage history, and total trading costs improve alongside the interface.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon And your customer service is even worse than your software. If you are not already using IB stay away from them they suck.
-
Alex 🅱📢 (@bitchutesupport) reported@IBKR When are you going to fix your downtime? Any compensation for us users?
-
Tim Williams (@_AcumenVentures) reported@jeremiahrogers @IBKR is horrible and their customer service absolutely sucks! Tried them and couldn’t wait to get my funds out - which they held for a stupid amount of time.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@IBKR fix your ******* app!!!! My lord it's absolute dog ****. Sell lots out my shares LIFO and your system then does FIFO when it's clearly marked correct. Then on the backend in change tax lots it shows correctly. Yet today nor the next day will I get credit in my SMA or NL
-
Doug Campbell (@TradeandMoney) reported@IBKR @Polymarket The score is now: IBKR 1, Me 0. First I went to AI to resolve my problem, and then tech support. They sent me to read some article that i couldn't see. I was going to send support a screen shot of what I saw when i clicked on the article link, but there support chat had a bug and the upload didn't work! You can't make this stuff up. In the end support told me to come back tomorrow and try.
-
Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported@IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2
-
HappyHKL (@HappyHkL1) reported@IBKR Over 60 minutes of complete outage during extreme market volatility, and NOT A SINGLE WORD from you?! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬Traders are trapped and losing money every second as prices flip! We demand an immediate public statement AND a clear loss compensation plan NOW! 💣🔥😤🤬😤🤬😤🤬😤🤬
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@Dilpree28887118 @IBKR A lot of distress and frustration. There's absolutely no reason for them to block my access to my accounts. It's unethical. The affected customers. They must be sued, and an ALERT must be issued to customers to avoid the BAD SERVICE and disrespect of this trap called ibkr.
-
Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR The worst platform I’ve ever used, customer service is terrible, you’re a bunch of thief’s charging me £75 for fail transaction and you’re nit even getting back to me. Warning do nit use this company they are the worst kind to deail with…
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.
-
Kevin Ang (@fstorm28) reported@keoneHD @IBKR Poor infrastructure simply scales problems faster. Good infrastructure scales opportunity.

J.J. Jejeebhoy (@jjeebhoy) reportedObscene for @IBKR to go down in the middle of a trading day
