    @IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2

    @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!

    @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown for an Australian resident is 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?

    @IBKR you customer service is useless, not once did they mention how failed transfer attempts cost £££ each time. your website ui is awful. Attempted transfer failed twice now and you have taken all most of my £100 is fees… you need to make it clear for new users.

    @FredrikEJohans2 @IBKR @CFTC It eventually got corrected after several hours, had to test it every 15min. But never got a notification on why it happened or when it was supposed to be resolved. Submitted a complaint to the CFTC regardless, super unprofessional reckless

    @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.

    @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)

    @IBKR Really need to work on the UI and also if the website is going to be so complicated you need to make accessing live support much less difficult

    @IBKR you expect people to respond to account messages in message center while banning people from accessing the message center, amazing. How many system issues you receive and ignore every day?

    @defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!

    @cashflow_king94 @Trading212 @IBKR Only issue with IKBR is they won't accept partial ISA trsnsfers in. Has to be the full portfolio for any given year.

    Has anyone else had issues with Trading Permissions for US penny stocks on @IBKR? Their customer support isn't the best either... way too slow.

    @IBKR what is wrong with your website? I set up my account for withdrawals and have sufficient funds. So WHY does the confirmation keep throwing an error? And why is there NOBODY to speak to?
