  • Rode6521 Rode Stefan 🐢🔴 (@Rode6521) reported

    @IBKR These ads are really starting to get bad.

  • NikoKVCS NikoKVCS (@NikoKVCS) reported

    @IBKR IBKR is the worst broker i ever used :D

  • liuzhe821 Zhe Liu (@liuzhe821) reported

    @IBKR When will you fix the $ trading issue?

  • ERIKA__WALTER Erika Walter (@ERIKA__WALTER) reported

    @IBKR 1/2 - You have failed to call me back for over 48 hours, going on 72 hours b/c my phone was stolen and I'm locked out. This is unacceptable that you won't allow me in with all the documents I've emailed to you and that your 2-factor ID system is this terrible its failed twice.

  • ERIKA__WALTER Erika Walter (@ERIKA__WALTER) reported

    @IBKR I need immediate help. Your site is saying an error occurred and I need someone to contact me IMMEDIATELY. My iPhone was stolen from the beach in Mexico and I need the iPhone verification removed from my account so I can trade from my laptop.

  • PirateWealth Damien (@PirateWealth) reported

    @IBKR Ok is there cash out problems with this platform ? Want to go in but some comments are scary

  • lolekinbobek bobek🙏🇺🇦 (@lolekinbobek) reported

    @SemiEvolvedM @IBKR No, I am not. But is more of an European Union issue than @IBKR. ETFs must be UCITS "compliant" for a EU citizen to be allowed to buy/trade it. 🤷 Yes, the good ol' government knows what's best for us... 🤦

  • pwagnerv Paul Wagner (@pwagnerv) reported

    @IBKR Not super happy with your customer service. Having problems still with your app (program) after multiple chats with u.

  • bazzilic Vasily Sidorov (@bazzilic) reported

    If you buy/sell $USDT or $USDC, don’t trade directly SGD <-> USDT/C, you’ll get a bad exchange rate. Get a multicurrency acct w\@DBSbank and register an acct with a broker (I use @IBKR and @SaxoSingapore)… 3/8

  • conaciousconse1 consciousconservative (@conaciousconse1) reported

    @IBKR worst customer service in finance. you’re a discount broker, but your commissions are higher than @CharlesSchwab and others whilst having absolutely non existent customer service Stop making it the clients responsibility to navigate your @IBKR operational constraints

  • t80sr Adam Sindelar (@t80sr) reported

    @IBKR How can a customer get any support from you, if all the ways of contacting you are broken?

  • UrkelDaMan Steve Urkel (@UrkelDaMan) reported

    @EmmetPeppers @waitbutwhy @IBKR But when you do end up needing it, IBKR service is an absolute nightmare probably the worst out of any of the big brokerages. I’ve stayed with them though bc their platform is far superior to others

  • EmmetPeppers Emmet Peppers (@EmmetPeppers) reported

    @RobbyXie @waitbutwhy @IBKR Thanks, i need to ask for guidance on doing new stuff too…i thought Bloomberg was harder to pick up but had better service when you needed it (but also costs a ton to use Bloomberg vs. IBKR makes very little off each customer vs. other brokers)

  • t80sr Adam Sindelar (@t80sr) reported

    @IBKR Hey, I just got an "unexpected error" trying to "Report a problem" about the email form not working, when I was trying to email you that your ticket system returns errors when I try to make a ticket about the trading platform being down. WTF? Do any engineers work there?

  • ERIKA__WALTER Erika Walter (@ERIKA__WALTER) reported

    @IBKR 2/2 You won't let me cancel trades or get out of positions and this lack of any type of customer service is disgusting and ridiculous. If I do not hear from you in another hour I will close my accounts as soon as I get in and post everywhere on SM about your crap service

  • jesusmnltrader Jtrader (@jesusmnltrader) reported

    @IBKR More than 1 month to open my account and still no response, very bad service.

  • oudeis11 oudeis 🇺🇦 🇹🇼🇲🇲 Freedom (political/financial) (@oudeis11) reported

    Just had a pretty poor fill on a stop limit buy in @IGcom acct. Even tho price moved through my much lower stop, & several prices in between, the buy eventually triggered with a much bigger slippage than I'm used to at @IBKR. Anyone else had similar problems with IG's fills?

  • Lebeaustock1 Lebeau@stock (@Lebeaustock1) reported

    @IBKR Is your web portal down ? I can not see my portfolio and place (or close) new option contracts. I had the same issue last Thursday and so from your office told me it was an internal BUG and should be solved quickly. Twice in a week ??? Really?

  • dvntekeith Davonte Rasool Keith (@dvntekeith) reported

    @IBKR why am I unable to log into my account? Fix this, now.

  • shaneforbes Shane Forbes -- 🧑‍⚕️👨‍⚕️cannot 🧐 (@shaneforbes) reported

    @IBKR the timeout on your website for the login security code is ridiculously short. more often than not, i do not receive the code in time. many websites give 10 minutes. that's fair considering all the things that could go wrong. looks to me you'll give out far less. 🤡show.

  • RobbyXie RobX (@RobbyXie) reported

    @EmmetPeppers @waitbutwhy @IBKR IBKR interface is so bad though! Can you look past it?

  • gordafariiiiid گردآفرید (@gordafariiiiid) reported

    @IBKR Iranian people , Iranian Balochs need help . Please help ... #MahsaAmini #Not_to_kill_the_Balochs #IranRevolution2022

    @EmmetPeppers @waitbutwhy @IBKR What? IBKR is the worst…

  • warro2k 1²34 (@warro2k) reported

  • 0xSmartCrypto Smart Crypto 🌐 /₲/ (@0xSmartCrypto) reported

    @IBKR What is your support email please? I’m trying to get a new account set up.

  • jakubjochec Jakub Jochec (@jakubjochec) reported

    @IBKR your support is just fantastic ... you cannot even solve basic software issue ... your "technical support" keeps repeating same "solution" no matter how many times it fails.

  • ERIKA__WALTER Erika Walter (@ERIKA__WALTER) reported

    @IBKR Please get back to me!!!! my phone was stolen in Mexico and I need to halt the 2 factor verification. I keep trying to message you and get an error.

  • shawngoh17 shawn goh (@shawngoh17) reported

    @IBKR Then why shut down buying for some tickers like $mmtlp and $afiiq?

  • warro2k 1²34 (@warro2k) reported

    @IBKR impossible reach customer service what kinda bulshit is it?

  • ashwaq_08 Ashwaq (@ashwaq_08) reported
