RoninTraders (@RoninInvestors) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR Hey, was thinking of opening an IBKR account for S&S ISA, do they support 24/5 trading like trading212? Searched online but getting mixed answers
-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I would not recommend using this brokerage service as they seem to completely ignore any customer service. No human answers their telephone customer service line.
-
HappyHKL (@HappyHkL1) reported@IBKR The system is completely down and we can't trade! The downtime is causing real financial losses. How will IBKR compensate affected users for this outage? Please address this immediately! 🤬😤😤😤😤😤

morphie (@morphieCNFT) reported@IBKR It took them 3 weeks to send help good job
-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I have not been able to contact a living person at customer support all week. Your phone system tells you to go to the website. No customer support.
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@SquawkStreet @IBKR It's impossible to contact IBXR support: 1(877)442-2757, it doesn't work. I can only hope that the issue they fabricated to keep my $3464.85 cash will be returned to me someday. U25159972

WhiskeyAndIce (@OptionsWolf77) reported@Sanji_vals @IBKR You can use the second 2Auth with an authenticator app from google or microsoft. Just make sure to connect them with cloud. If you loose your phone, download the app on the new one and login wirh authenticator app. Its really annoying to contact support, which is so difficult.

andrew brett (@AndyJB4676) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR I’ve tried three times to create an account and log in with IBKR and have only ever got an ‘unknown error’. Not had that problem with T212 or other apps
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @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!
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@kyingda @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
-
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.
-
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.

Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@IBKR A platform upgrade is only meaningful if order routing, outage history, and total trading costs improve alongside the interface.
-
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.
-
PSaif (@PedSaif) reported@optionsbbq @tastytrade @IBKR For options, Ibkr mobile app is much better than the desktop options they offer imo, but the desktop apps may have improved in recent iterations (they were way too slow and clunky before)
