  • CHILIKIWInft ChiliKiwi (@CHILIKIWInft) reported

    @Stonkfather2021 @IBKR Ah alright i never use browser so i wouldnt know. Their customer service does suck though

  • FishPatagonia Mike Conyers (@FishPatagonia) reported

    @IBKR Is there a problem with the portal in the UK?

  • Imoption_trader Captain Hemant (@Imoption_trader) reported

  • TSS205 TS (@TSS205) reported

    @IBKR Your login feature sucks.

  • electricfuture5 Electric Future (@electricfuture5) reported

    Started the transfer of shares from @nabtrade to @IBKR, surprised how painless it was. @grok was a hige help making the comparison in fee between both when selling.

  • americatrollNYC americanpatriottroll (@americatrollNYC) reported

    @The13thBird @IBKR What I always find funny is you clowns will have no problem shooting your mouth off online but when you see somebody in person, you get real quiet and really scared It's pretty funny how pathetic you really are

  • rwarmewmew spilled emotions (@rwarmewmew) reported

    @IBKR Low fees? Finally, a reason to borrow against my bad decisions!

  • Maha_A_96 M (@Maha_A_96) reported

    @IBKR Finally, a way to turn my terrible stock picks into something useful.

  • CoodDoBettr Could Do Better (@CoodDoBettr) reported

    @IBKR Could you find someone who understands what a “reference” is that those doing bank transfers enter to read my message which has ZERO to do with logging int the client portal. The FAQ is totally irrelevant to the issue I raised!

  • Stonkfather2021 Stonkfather 🏴‍☠️ (@Stonkfather2021) reported

    Haven’t been able to log into @IBKR for hours now Have they made a single public service announcement? Not a chance Does anyone in the UK have a suggestion for a new broker? #ibkr

  • Steven78725581 slu (@Steven78725581) reported

    @IBKR Stay away from @ibkr worst customer service out of all major brokers. What you save in fees you lose with customer service. My position wouldn’t fill on their platform because of a glitch on their end and they would not honor the trade. Scam. stay away from this dinosaur

  • TsundokuNinja Tsundoku Sensei (@TsundokuNinja) reported

    @seantoh @EnovixBatteries Sean, I’m not sure where you are based but for @IBKR clients in the USA, it is simply a matter of completing the form in the Corporate Action center and there are no fees. The $1000 fee for Guaranteed Delivery service is nonstandard and not required.

  • 5810111868milk あやっふぃ〜@生粋のポキナー (@5810111868milk) reported

    @IBKR Borrowing against my portfolio to buy more stocks? #PublicAI just enabled my infinite money glitch.

  • DavidDelos4 David Delos (@DavidDelos4) reported

    @badagobalistica @IBKR Thanks. This may all be just an academic exercise if interest rates go down significantly.

  • PodContrarian Contrarian Investor Media (@PodContrarian) reported

    @Innov8challenge @IBKR think it was just a glitch with the "upgrade." Probably failed to do proper testing ahead of the build Happens. Often

  • Steven78725581 slu (@Steven78725581) reported

    @LarryFree14 @IBKR Don’t fall for they won’t honor sh!t if it came down to it

  • Payloadotexe cyberlegend (@Payloadotexe) reported

    @IBKR Ur the worst

  • Exchange_Invest Exchange Invest (@Exchange_Invest) reported

    .@CharlesSchwab scintillates in salad days for brokers with numbers similar to @IBKR while @EuroclearGroup reminds us of the EU blob problem, a paltry 2% growth barely covers inflation. More in today’s #ExchangeInvest.

  • boxmax Katrinka (@boxmax) reported

    @IBKR She has my support and my husbands

  • Madi_Sudhan madhu (@Madi_Sudhan) reported

    @IBKR - very bad customer service experience. Your representative is not having patience enough to help me with my issues

  • elbart345 VANGOCHART (@elbart345) reported

    @IBKR Sure but who actually borrows on margin with rates trending down and ETH staking yielding up only this cycle

  • StockJanitor Jay (@StockJanitor) reported

    @IBKR you know you are broken this whole morning right? #options mobile options

  • Steven78725581 slu (@Steven78725581) reported

    When is @IBKR going to honor my trade? I tried placing a trade on your platform and it didn’t execute because a “glitch” on YOUR end. I’ve been trying to resolve this issue for a week now. The market is difficult enough but now retail investors have to worry if trades get executed or not?

  • RaffalTrader RaffalTrader (@RaffalTrader) reported

  • Kay_B89 Kshitij Banerjee (@Kay_B89) reported

    @IBKR Options don’t show up on the mobile app. And feedback / bug / help doesn’t either . How does one get help when the help button is broken ?

  • Steven78725581 slu (@Steven78725581) reported

    @IBKR When is @IBKR going to honor my trade? I tried placing a trade on your platform and it didn’t execute because a “glitch” on YOUR end. I’ve been trying to resolve this issue for a week now. How are people suppose to trust a broker that does this?
