yd (@kyingda) reported@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
-
Sam 🇨🇦 (@CanadasFukd) reported@RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue
-
The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic
-
₿a ElenHODL (@BaElenhodl) reported@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
-
男比熊大 (@bixiong_baisui) reported@IBKR What is your problem?
-
Lili Fee (@booklilifee) reported@MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.
-
ndao poenya (@ndaopoenya_) reported@IBKR Hello IBKR Support Team, I'm from Indonesia and need your help accessing my IBKR account. I'm unable to set up Two-Factor Authentication (IBKR Mobile Authentication). When I try to log in, I can't complete the security verification process, so I'm locked out of my account.
-
PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported@YYF171ttk @IBKR After couple hours we were able to get some orders filled then the system shutdown again for several hours This time it’s insane 30 hours in and no ETA time on fix
-
William W. Nicholas (@Alohayall_) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Another week passed. GET RID OF THE GOD DAMN PDT RULES!!! What makes you so slow? Inability?
-
King (@SteveGetSold) reported@bz1sioniste @IBKR Having same the same issue
-
Roman Lightman (@b_contrary) reported@IBKR Idiot deserves a good beating for being so stupid. Anyone foolish enough to leave a country that everyone else is risking their lives to get into that country gets what they deserve.
-
Hits London (@HitsLondon) reported@cashflow_king94 @Trading212 @IBKR Only issue with IKBR is they won't accept partial ISA trsnsfers in. Has to be the full portfolio for any given year.
-
Mihir (@mihirbenipuri) reported@ravihanda @IBKR Does this mean IBKR account creations are basically frozen till they sort this out? wtf
-
niu.niu (@Double_Niu) reported@ekapob @IBKR same here! this is sooo bad and can cause massive loss for users
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIf 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 ?
-
Ramy Gerges (@ramyggerges) reported@IBKR customer support is abysmal.
-
Ashrith Govind (@ashrithgovind) reported@defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!
-
Bobby Plewniak (@BoBbyPleWniaK) reported@jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedGood grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!
-
Martijn (@Martijn251000) reported@IBKR Interactive Broker Internatioal Netherland Terror enters Righs Allmight Creat Twistpoints Falltrapps Evil Broken Rules outig Kindness Evil Repayment
-
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.
-
The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR Worst customer service in history I’m not joking. Took them (6) months to reach out to me about my inquiry about a simple rebate on my $371,000 in commissions I spent. At the end of it all they said there is nothing they can do. ******* worthless
-
MillenniumKnight Inc (@MKINC) reported@IBKR Your status page is showing no issues, but for the last 2 hours I haven't been able to access my paper trading account. "NAV Calculation currently unavailable". What's up?
-
Varun Takkar (@varuntakkar01) reportedI will not be surprised if @RobinhoodApp @Wealthsimple @IBKR and a bunch of other brokerages crash down tomorrow at the launch of $SPCX IPO $HOOD $TSLA $SPCX
-
Biswayan Bhandari (@BiswayanBhanda1) reported@IBKR I can't open my IBKR account. It’s been inactive for 6 months and I've been trying to reopen it for the last 2 months. Why is the interface not user-friendly? I've also been contacting customer support for a month, but their responses aren't helpful...
-
Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reportedI think @IBKR is the worst website interface and support experience I have ever had. That includes the DMV, gov tax website, etc.
-
Yousif Ashknani (@AshknKW) reported@IBKR No communications about ur boomer app not working during market hours ???
-
Mellie Mel (@MellieMelvc58) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Go read recent YouTube comments and hear Chris Camillo describing how terrible a user experience he has with your app. You give truly terrible customer experiences, and yet so many of us want to use your services for international trades. Level up!!
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@IBKR is down during trading hours. This is the first time this has happened to me. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and unable to log in to their account?
-
Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported@vijucat @IBKR Bro I even have a "private" number for bespoke service. I call it, and then he calls the ******* real number which reaches a ******* call center in India... I'm ******* ded.
