  • PeteyHarrison Peter (@PeteyHarrison) reported

    @Wealthsimple is the worst. Happy I'm switching to @IBKR.

  • xLanceBryantx Lance Bryant (@xLanceBryantx) reported

    @IBKR any reason the bid and ask spread is not tied to the current price displayed on the app for the last week? Wasn’t a problem before the last week. I’m seeing the bid and ask at 7.45/7.46 but the price of the security at 7.51. This is very weird.

  • RohanMahimkar4 Rohan Mahimkar (@RohanMahimkar4) reported

    @IBKR the worst customer service ever provided by your agents. Called in for some questions, it was me who greeted the agent, he did not respond back he wanted my name instead. Very rude, queries not answered. Disappointed. And will not be dealing with you anymore.

  • FKalooti Fahad Al Kalooti (@FKalooti) reported

    @IBKR I'm an existing client with an account. Please contact me as soon as possible. I am not able to access my account which has my personal funds and this is an urgent issue. How hard is it for your customer service team to cal me?

  • IgorRanc Igor Ranc (@IgorRanc) reported

    Hi @IBKR, I understand you must be busy, but I have been waiting for almost a month (!) for my funded application to move? Also getting messages from your service center to forward some tickets etc. Can you please check where we are stuck?

    Missed out on the #teslastock correction because @degiroeu does not support US options and @lynxbeleggen is not able to open my account within a month. Hopefully @IBKR does a better job.

  • SlimShady260 Slim smartish Shady (@SlimShady260) reported

    @IBKR - what's a fella got to do to get some customer support? Chairman of the Board is worth $25+ billion, but can't/won't pay for customer support. It wasn't like this 10 years ago. Straight outta the Elon playbook. Pathetic. #interactivebrokers

    @IBKR The run continues. Meanwhile down 70 % from the high in the last two weeks when I wanted to sell some shares of the stock I own but cannot because I do not get an answer to my ticket.

    @IBKR anyone who touts that you can choose out of 34,000 funds is not your friend; they are someone trying to give you bad advice low cost index funds

  • BaeCitizen citizen bae (@BaeCitizen) reported

    @IBKR is refusing to compensate me for the money I lost during the crash on 7th December 2020. This comes as a shock how this swindle of a platform think they can get away with thieving money from their users! 🤮 Please don’t sign up with this platform the owner is a crook!

  • Piyush_reapit Piyush (@Piyush_reapit) reported

    @IBKR your customer service is pathetic! My account is yet to be activated after 10+ days. You have a day long waiting time on call and emails don't get acknowledge.

  • laithkamal Laith N. Kamal (@laithkamal) reported

    @IBKR How about answering you’re customer service calls or chats?

  • AmberEFT AmberEFT (@AmberEFT) reported

    @IBKR 90min hold times today!?!?!?!? WTF are you guys doing over there??? Sleeping??? Hire a few thousand people!!! Idiots!

  • FranconianM franconian-man (@FranconianM) reported

    @IBKR I wrote a ticket 21 (!) days ago to lift unjustified restrictions on a stock I own so I can sell the postion. Not any reaction yet. Meanwhile the stock is down 66 percent. Well done customer service!

  • rupeshparab15 PSR (@rupeshparab15) reported

    @IBKR First try responding to your customers by picking up their calls. It's the third day in a row I called your customer service but was put on hold for more than 1hr and still couldn't get through.
