@IBKR @IBKR is hands down most frustrating company I've ever dealt with. Can't get the most basic things right. And buggy AF.

@IBKR your phone number ending 6901 doesn't work, the demo account doesn't direct to support/sign up for full account. Why should I use you as a broker? +I'm on 30min hold on the 877 number 😐

@IBKR One of the worst cust service given in the #financial industry. From long wait times to #brokers which are inflexible. Commissions might be lower than average however is that really the case with other brokers not charging for trades. If you are a retail investor BEWARE! #ibkd

@IBKR Problem with IB Pro is it takes ages to verify an application, I’ve been waiting for more than 3 weeks due to technical issues! Despite Interactive Brokers having already received my deposit. This delay is unacceptable and despite almost daily querying still get the same answer.

Great platform but terrible customer service @IBKR Canada . 20 min on hold and now disconnected. Something wrong with the system saying margin issue on a cash trade.

I’m on hold with @IBKR (they’re terrible) so I decided to do some charting from my phone. When you know TA, you can do it anywhere. Side note, when you see this chart, understand why people saying “this has plenty room to run” or “this is going to a penny ASAP”, makes no sense.

@IBKR I have just sold some shares so have cash in my account, but I'm getting the message "contract is not supported" when attempting to buy more of some others shares. I've tried contacting support chat but not getting a representative. Help appreciated.

Interactive Brokers @IBKR is the absolute worst. Trying to account transfer out because their service sucks but they hold your money hostage for 60 days from date of deposit. Totally a scam to make it as painful as possible to leave. You will get better service ANYWHERE else.
