  • goingblindbro goingblindbro (@goingblindbro) reported

    @etrade Was on hold for over 3 hours for customer service and no one ever picked up. 3 HOURS+. All I want to do is verify a transaction to unlock my card. Geeze.

  • DCEric2005 Formerly DC Eric (@DCEric2005) reported

    How is it possible that @etrade has 90+ minute hold times and no way to reset a user ID online... TWO DAYS in a row. @etrade HELP ME!!!!

  • anilpunia Anil Punia (@anilpunia) reported

    @etrade need help with trading account … existing account blocked and customer service phone call wait time 2+hours ..

  • FaureLorenzo Faure Lorenzo (@FaureLorenzo) reported

    @etrade My wife opened an IRA account with you about a week ago and you don’t allow her to fund the account. The chat doesn’t work and after spending 2.5 hours on the phone waiting, she has decided she’ll just close it and move to Fidelity. Worst customer service ever!

  • yes2propone Dale (@yes2propone) reported

    @BankBetterGuy @etrade has a really, really awful TV spot about saving up for a trip to Mount Everest. Weird recurring theme.

  • slisbin slisbin (@slisbin) reported

    @etrade is the worst! I put money into my existing verified account today to be told AFTERWARDS that the money will not be available to trade with for 5 working days. I guess when the funds are available I'll just close the account and go to Robinhood.

  • sillyslavebear sillyslavebear (@sillyslavebear) reported

    @etrade Your site instantly logs me out within 15 seconds of logging on. Is this a known issue? It was working great yesterday.

  • billakos80 vaskap@hotmail.com (@billakos80) reported

    @etrade so E-Trade's new customer service is all about customer not being able to send an e-mail, nor a secured message thru a logged-in account. Just call up the call center and get ready for a 100-minute waiting time. Love this brokerage company! 👍

  • MccaslinAndy TraderZ (@MccaslinAndy) reported

    Dang, @etrade has got to have the most difficult customer support to get in contact with. Dumb

  • HamudiMD Mohammed (@HamudiMD) reported

    @etrade hey guys! Horrible customer service. I have to wait over 90 minutes to get my account deactivated because you don’t have simple technology to fix problems like this. I am switching to Webull. I guess you don’t value having customers.

  • gmo661448 Guillermo Serpa (@gmo661448) reported

    @etrade I just DM you about my account. Please reply. I need help

  • Phred_Bear Phred Bear (@Phred_Bear) reported

    @etrade fix your #shitbox app! I bet there is some 10yo kids out there that can do better! #etradejunk #shitboxapp

  • Financi34544151 MHL (@Financi34544151) reported

    @sushilnayak84 @etrade 3 hours and 45 minutes for me last month. Slowest funds settlement times, worst interface, highest OTC fees and, as mentioned, worst customer service. I can't believe @MorganStanley paid $13 billion to acquire this POS company.

  • Yvettethecrew Yvette (@Yvettethecrew) reported

    @etrade That number 1-800-387-8331 I’ve spent over 2 hours literally waiting & no answer May I have email to support to reset logon. @etrade

  • HolyMol64145173 HolyMoly (@HolyMol64145173) reported

    @Yvettethecrew @etrade Can't wait to close my account. ****** customer service!

  • drmichellelarue Dr. Michelle LaRue (@drmichellelarue) reported

    Does @bbb_us have an opinion on this? I have now spent several hours of my life on hold with @etrade in the last 24 hours with absolutely no help or resolution.

  • gmo661448 Guillermo Serpa (@gmo661448) reported

    @etrade I executed a trade on the E*Trade Pro desktop. It shows it was executed but it also shows I have no open positions. I also checked the E*Trade website and it’s showing the same but my account says it’s losing money. I need help

  • noobGuru7 ItsJay (@noobGuru7) reported

    @madelinelawren @etrade that "!?" makes the whole thing like 4 times more stupid

  • Phred_Bear Phred Bear (@Phred_Bear) reported

    @etrade why dont you guys update the app and fix the data you are hiding from customers?

  • jahross_ JahR (@jahross_) reported

    @etrade is your customer service phone line actually 24/7? Ive called every day this week, multiples time of the day and had to wait 2+ hours to get ahold of no-one...

  • GlaudySarah Sarah Glaudy (@GlaudySarah) reported

    @etrade @ChatahMan I’ve been on the phone with the number recommended and y’all hung up on me what kind of customer service is that?!!! I just need my money back into my account so I can finally be done not having to do business with this company. This is SERIOUSLY a scam!!

  • HolyMol64145173 HolyMoly (@HolyMol64145173) reported

    @etrade you need to be shut down! ****** customer service! 🖕

  • drmichellelarue Dr. Michelle LaRue (@drmichellelarue) reported

    So I try to use Twitter for positive things so I'm sorry but @etrade do you feel that keeping a customer of 14 years on hold indefinitely, literally preventing her access to her account, is good business practice

  • Yvettethecrew Yvette (@Yvettethecrew) reported

    @etrade That number 1-800-387-8331 no representative I’ve spent over 2 hours literally waiting. May I have email to support to reset logon. @etrade

  • clayton_warrior ClayTon_Warrior (@clayton_warrior) reported

    @etrade your “beneficiary services” department is by the worst. Hour wait times and no service. I just want to Close My account. DALLEN ANDERSON needs to@be fired! Doesn’t return phone calls for over 4 months! This is GARBAGE E*TRADE! Have some sympathy!!!

  • JohnMorina2 John Morina-If you build it they will come (@JohnMorina2) reported

    TWO HOURS AND ELEVEN MINUTES on hold for @Etrade support to ask a simple question that they can answer in 60 seconds. ABSOLUTELY DEPLORABLE, Why did they turn off their chat service?

  • JohnMorina2 John Morina-If you build it they will come (@JohnMorina2) reported

    @MansaTariq @CoinbaseSupport WOW only 31 minutes- I am on hold with Etrade and they say it will be 2 ******* HOURS - I think @Etrade just took the WORST EXCHANGE place from Coinbase, OMG say it not so!

  • JohnMorina2 John Morina-If you build it they will come (@JohnMorina2) reported

    I need information for my @etrade account and they disabled CHAT, have no published email so I have to call which I did and the recording says I have a 2 ******* HOUR WAIT- That is unacceptable-service has degraded since the sale-ae they trying to be like Coinsbase

  • SukhijaGourav Gourav Sukhija (@SukhijaGourav) reported

    @etrade do you really have customer service? I have been trying to reach you and there is always a wait time of more than two hours. Can you please help me

  • Nobody27063482 Nobody (@Nobody27063482) reported

    @etrade Your Live Chat being consistently down defeats the purpose, especially when I was on hold for 85(!) minutes on the phone, only to be disconnected. The customer service so far has been a nightmare.
