Interactive Brokers Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DiabolicSystem Diabolic System (@DiabolicSystem) reported

    I guess @IBKR aren’t any good either. Can’t get thru on the phone, chat support is down, buggy website. Canadians sure get the **** when it comes to a proper browser for trading.

  • chaficchahine Chafic (@chaficchahine) reported

    @IBKR while your platform is amazing, your customer service has been 0 so far. Can’t get through to anyone on phone (waited on hold 45 minutes+ multiple times) or chat or a response on messages. Can someone reach out directly?

  • AdamEgressy Adam Egressy (@AdamEgressy) reported

    @IBKR I’m having some great troubles dealing with IBKR customer service, refusing to help me. Where can I complain?

  • novemberdrift 🤪 (@novemberdrift) reported

    @CallsForever @Questrade @IBKR What are the fees like? I’ve never had a problem with support, even their Twitter is pretty active in terms of providing support

  • Darky999 Dr. Chris Dark (@Darky999) reported

    @TraderNewsFeed @IBKR I actually got thru after waiting for a total of just under 2 hours So it is possible, albeit super slow (it's crazy they are throwing away custom by not investing in their support)

  • ja0335 Juan Camilo Acosta (@ja0335) reported

    @IBKR Please give support for fractional shares in the python api.

  • DiabolicSystem Diabolic System (@DiabolicSystem) reported

    I guess @IBKR aren’t any good either. Can’t get thru on the phone, chat support is down, buggy website. Canadians sure get the **** when it comes to a proper broker for trading.

  • hundredMs Tim Scott (@hundredMs) reported

    @StanOrzechowski @MartinsLusis @IBKR Believe it or not it’s coming from a worse broker. The platform is great but the customer service you’d think they’re asking for their own stock to get shorted.

  • Darky999 Dr. Chris Dark (@Darky999) reported

    @IBKR have been trying to call for several days to phone support (and have two tickets in system for 3 weeks with no reply) and literally hold for hours at a time and do not get through... This is totally unacceptable, please can someone DM me and reach out to me

  • tocfcws toCFCws ★ (@tocfcws) reported

    @IBKR Lol, you are getting terrible advice.

  • Rightis50529986 Rightisright (@Rightis50529986) reported

    @IBKR Your customer service is appalling. 1 hour on the phone trying to get through. It’s a disgrace.

  • ironjawtrader Faisel (@ironjawtrader) reported

    @IBKR ISA support in the U.K. pretty please 🙏🏾

  • StanOrzechowski Stan Orzechowski (@StanOrzechowski) reported

    @MartinsLusis @hundredMs @IBKR I just found that I cannot logon again, got 'failed' error after 2FA.

  • MartinsLusis Mārtiņš Lūsis (@MartinsLusis) reported

    @StanOrzechowski @IBKR Same here. Absolutely horrendous customer service. Phone support is not reachable, the chat is down, tickets T647298 and T544143 are just ignored.

  • SJWilliams0 Stuart Williams (@SJWilliams0) reported

    @IBKR I am currently experiencing poor customer service with your organisation. Please can you check tickets 149688 & 640900 and ask somebody to call me. Thanks

  • marvinlyonheir Marvin Lyonheir (@marvinlyonheir) reported

    @LaDefenseRe @IBKR Worse company hands down for trading i think there going bust.....

  • Pikaguh Pikaguh (@Pikaguh) reported

    @Trading212 Please FFS fix the graphs on $SNDL $TSLA $ITRM can't see ****, so not trading it at the moment risky ****. Once my final withdrawal is approved good bye, everything moving to @IBKR

  • MouhanadAr Mouhanad Ar (@MouhanadAr) reported

    Trying since more than 2 weeks and not getting any proper reply , it’s just for verifying the account(live chat cannot connect to the server of the application - emails are received after 1 week for each sentence and even the reply is not Clear) @IBKR hesitating on trading 😖

  • browsyboo Browsy 🏳️‍🌈 (@browsyboo) reported

    @IBKR I am unable to trade due to unsettled cash error. How long does it take after cash deposit?

  • FagaldeAgustin Agustin Fagalde (@FagaldeAgustin) reported

    @IBKR Hi I need help funding the account but no one is answering the emails, phone calls or chat. Can anybody help me?

  • Shadehater1 Elias Kordoulas (@Shadehater1) reported

    @IBKR you should get an award for the worst customer service on this world. "An IB representative will be with you shortly" is the greatest lie I've had the privilege of being served.

  • Wutangprophet1 Wutangprophet (@Wutangprophet1) reported

    @IBKR Can somebody in the “customer support” PLEASE answer either the phone or the chat?! I have been trying to contact a IBKR rep for more than two weeks.. this is absurd!

  • ChAnArRu ChAnAr (@ChAnArRu) reported

    @DiabolicSystem @IBKR I feel your pain. I spent hours in the phone and combing useless websites yesterday, trying to sort out an issue with @thinkorswim. Totally and bizarrely unsupported in Canada.

  • BathurstThinkt1 bathurstthinkt1 (@BathurstThinkt1) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR fix your customer service issues

  • chaficchahine Chafic (@chaficchahine) reported

    @IBKR can you please have someone look into Inquiry #T651242? Have not been able to get through to or get a response from customer service. Such a pity to ruin your brand image over poor customer service

  • MartinsLusis Mārtiņš Lūsis (@MartinsLusis) reported

    @hundredMs @IBKR No. And it's going on even after I posted them the ticket number here. Simply amazing. It's not like they are free or anything. In fact, I've paid a lot in the fees already but still get no interest from the support team.

  • TraderNewsFeed Look Left (@TraderNewsFeed) reported

    @Darky999 @IBKR Good luck. @IBKR is broken. As are all brokers now. They are overwhelmed with business, and aren’t earning sufficient revenue to hire more service people.

  • Darky999 Dr. Chris Dark (@Darky999) reported

    @resharmonica @IBKR They have their twitter account set to 'only allow DM from people you follow', clearly this hasn't occurred to IBKR as a bit stupid if they are suggesting you do this (and they don't follow you!)

  • humvee5084 Hummer Guy (@humvee5084) reported

    @MartinsLusis @IBKR Trust me, robinhood customer service is sad, go with TD Ameritrade or Webull

  • YetAnotherSQL Pat Phelan (@YetAnotherSQL) reported

    @IBKR @mmaunder Using SMS messages for 2FA are less secure than not using 2FA at all. The SecureCard+ is not independently vetted for security risks, costs $20, and is another nuisance to carry. Get advice from a security expert, such as @troyhunt . Then fix the password paste and 2FA.
