NaN (@iama_nan) reportedWhy is @IBKR down ? Can’t login!!!
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR do you ever solve problems. When faced with a question your customer service reps just leave the chat room. Your tech does not work (docusign process, image upload on chat etc.) And your reps have no intention to solve anything.
-
Natalka (@NataliiaKoval) reported@IBKR Fix first your login form and recovery instructions
-
Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@IBKR Your support is TRASH! I already sent about 5 requests weeks, some month ago. Still no answer. I dont think I will ever get one. And there is no other way to resolve my issues with IBKR. So there is no solution for my problems, while IBKR stock is skyrocketing. Shame on you!

人称六叔 🔶BNB 🔶买美股上币安 (@Jasonwang1211) reported@IBKR Yeah this pump's transparent as **** no hidden fees just straight pressure. That's why barely any callback like I posted, Sol guys squeezing it clean. Chinese holders mostly jumped mid way though.
-
Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown is an Australian driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?
-
₿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
-
Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR @sumeet06 Waste of time, nobody over there get back to you customer service is dead.
-
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
-
Sush$ (@Sush1942) reported@IBKR iBKR is down at crucial moments @Nasdaq
-
Randy888 (@randy8silver) reported@IBKR @Paysafe my account is locked out, tried calling and it hangs up, tried email and fails, tried to create a support ticket but you have to login to create one, need help, worst support ever.
-
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
-
Brad Kibel (@KibelBrad) reported@IBKR Sell the stupid ****
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@StateInterOffic @IBKR It's totally unacceptable. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.
-
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.
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @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!
-
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.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedI want to know the qualifications one needs to work at @IBKR because boy when I tell you I feel like I'm talking to Wal mart customer service, these people don't have a clue.
-
Martin BC (@MARTINPARK111) reported@IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@CarolAn64246005 @IBKR I was about to withdraw $3464.85 in cash to transfer to my bank, and after waiting a month, they suddenly invented an issue to keep my money for a while. This is a scam.U25159972

The PATRIOT 🎭 (@joventapollo) reported@IBKR @Paysafe We having a terrible experience in Africa. Pliz make funding easier for us, current methods are so expensive and chaotic
-
covertsah (@coversah) reportedI have never had a such a bad experience setting up a new brokage account @IBKR I fund it I choose the light plan but they give them the Pro plan that include commissions. So all my test trades pulled commissions today. I tried to enable trading for leveraged etfs they denied me won't say why, so i get to wait another 30 days to try again. Man if i had any other choice i would just withdraw the money move on but i don't.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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
