-
C.S.N. Iyer (@iyerchandrru) reported@IBKR Hi Facing problem in transferring funds, pls how to proceed further…
-
Vj (@VJ_303) reported@IBKR Still you are looking HELPLESS in providing me direct contact number where I can call and clarify. That's why I am afraid to open account with #bkr as where I will contact after opening account if something big issues or fraud happened, ...my hard earned money go stucked???
-
Matthew Donegan-Ryan (@MatthewDR) reported@JOBhakdi I’ve done that using @Fidelity a half dozen times. The UI is atrocious but at least it isn’t as bad as @IBKR
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR The problem is that when I call to get help, I get five minutes of yadda yadda and then it tells me to login online and hangs up. You have effectively cut off all means of contact to get help.
-
Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Worst is anything automation. They are lunatics with that front
-
TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported@IBKR Called customer service which was an even worse experience. Rep refused to remove the 3 trades in 5 days limit even though it’s been well over 5 days. She said I’d get a letter re: PDT rules but couldn’t even say how long until those letter go out. She refused to allow me to speak to someone in a decision making capacity and when I asked to have the situation escalated she told me I had to go online and start a ticked…. You guys are a joke and I hope lots of people see this.
-
The EV Hunter (@LastGambler_777) reported@IBKR I do not recommend IB, terrible costumer service. Just look how they answer people on the comment section here. I have a position for several years due to a short on a company that did a merger that they never close and refuse to allow a cashout.
-
Ten Beers (@NBee007) reportedI thought @IBKR was a reliable, scaled, professional brokerage. How can people trust this company with a seven figure net worth when the website doesn’t even work? Anyone else having trouble with this? #brokers #trading
-
Atenov int. (@Atenov_D) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR can't even get a simple issue resolved
-
Pranesh Ganesh (@gpranesh) reported@IBKR I have trouble logging in as no SMS is being received. Is there an ongoing outage?
-
ToXic God (@ToXicGod321) reported@rafikaliturki @IBKR What ******** does that have to do with this post you stupid donkey?
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.
-
jazz (@hspnyc) reported@IBKR please help.
-
Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reportedOn the @IBKR institutional Client Services line, an India call center handles my security issues. It takes >2 hours to work through my 2FA issues. On the @IBKR retail Client Services line, I speak to a US person and it takes less than 15 minutes to work through the SAME ISSUES.
-
EV Bike Dude🇪🇺🇮🇪 🇸🇰🔋☀️⚡🤖👾 (@eu_bike) reported@STACKDOE @IBKR When did you last use it and what's your specific issue? It's way better than e.g. Revolut. My only issue is it can be slow at times, especially with updating totals but is quite flexible. Alerts need work for sure.
-
Jatin Jani (@Jatin_S_Jani) reported@IBKR I sent funds from my bank before 8 days but I still don’t see them in my account. Please help. It’s been so many days.
-
Himanshu (@hmnsh18) reported@IBKR Your account opening procedure is pathetic.. No customer support and no clear communication why a particular document is rejected My brother is trying to open the account from Saudi for last 2 months and always there is some document is pending
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@belfort0609 @buyerofponzi @IBKR I'm hearing this is an increasing problem. You will be better off elsewhere .. IBKR went from a top tier broker to a bottom tier real fast as far as I'm concerned.
-
One Fib Per Day (@fibscalper) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR They do suck bad I removed all my funds.
-
Capital Helmut 69 (@FranklinBobMor1) reported@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.
-
Atul Sinha (@5131b69341dc4dc) reported@IBKR Please arrange a call on 8604332700 / whatsapp assistance for help
-
Momo (@Momorenph) reportedGot cucked by IBKR for having limited margin??? The position would have cost 5% of my remaining maintenance margin??? Plz fix @IBKR I wanna lose money
-
Brad Ford (@Digetydog) reported@IBKR @ibkr has terrible customer service in my opinion.
-
Someone (@PlatoCosmos) reported@IBKR I am getting beyond fedup of not being able to login into the mobile app, despite repeated attempts. Whats going on??
-
Chukwuebuka🇳🇬 (@ChukwuRN) reportedYou can't even open an account with @IBKR because I am a Nigerian. One of the worst feelings I have ever felt this evening. I have no idea why this happened but it is bad. They need to change this policy about Nigeria.
-
Institut des Libertés- Université de l'Epargne (@IdLibertes) reported@IBKR I have been trying to open a professional account for a mounth now. (Charles Gave Media). I have sent absolutely every document under french law yet your compliance service, that must be outsourced, demands some more documents that do not exist under french law. You keep asking fir registre des bénéficiaires effectifs, we have given this document under lawyer signature many time now. You have the statuts, the Kbis, attestation from our lawyer, CEO signatures. After a month of going back and forth could you please, please DO SOMETHING about it?
-
Ringiana (@Ringiana) reported@ThinkFinance999 @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Similar problem in the US, not just Europe. Must be SK's rules for foreigners holding KRW in brokerage accounts. LLM explained one solution to me.
-
Jeff (@jmclarty) reportedHappy 19-year customer of @IBKR here. This is the first feature WS rolled out where I'd consider moving all 6 of my accounts. Let me know an ETA for when you can ship this, I'd rather not move.
-
PonziMaxi (@ChaserBid) reportedTrying to sort an @IBKR account with stables for 2 days, and it's just an all-round ****** experience. Still waiting for stablecoin approval, interface is horrible, bad UI. Been waiting 5 minutes for the deposit button to render. Do non-crypto folk just accept this as fine?
