  • kketav Ketav (@kketav) reported

    @IBKR not sure how you guys are rated best online broker in 2020. i clearly see u guys going to bottom in 2021 with a very poor customer service and hold on cash transfer policy. i m definitely moving out to a different broker. This is just my 2nd day and horrible experience.

    @IBKR customer service and customer consideration 000000

  • InvestorMagoo Investor Magoo (@InvestorMagoo) reported

    @IBKR I'm back to this post. Sadly no progress on my issue. Blocked account and Client Portal. Customer Service is the worst in the world = non existent. New Trader, save yourself a massive headache and find a better broker!

  • phil_hk PhilHK (@phil_hk) reported

    I have been trying to call Interactive Brokers 4 times since last night. All ending up with me giving up after 1hr+ waiting time. Maybe time to hire some more support staff? @IBKR #interactivebrokers

  • wnhubbard William Hubbard (@wnhubbard) reported from Berkley, Michigan

    @IBKR y’all should hire some more customer service representatives. Your hold music isn’t 20+ minutes every time good.

  • ValentinoDilor5 Valentino (@ValentinoDilor5) reported

    I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a worst customer service than @IBKR unreal

  • JackTinker1 Jack Tinker (@JackTinker1) reported

    @abdullahtsr @IBKR It’s not a scam but you have to wait hours to speak to customer service. And they charge you for having money in your account. AVOID!!!

  • jean_roncier Jean-François/PassionTradingMarket (@jean_roncier) reported

  • NKakoulidis Nikos Kakoulidis (@NKakoulidis) reported

    @IBKR It’s unbelievable what’s happen with your customer service! Do you really have someone there? No answer after one hour waiting time for 5 consecutive days is not acceptable. You are the worst platform I ever had !

  • Jm19926129 Jm (@Jm19926129) reported

    @IBKR Bad service faulty tech. Don't believe the review

  • ellrowee Ell Rowe (@ellrowee) reported

    @IBKR can someone please assist me!? I was trying to simply enable my trading permissions. And now I’m being asked to give MiFIR details?!? I’m basically locked out my account! I can’t speak to anyone for help! You don’t pick up the phone or live chat!!

  • ilikeoptions ilikeoptions (@ilikeoptions) reported

    @IBKR If you were open for new account this tweet would be appropriate. However you are NOT, so fix your backlog before claiming to be a gateway to anything other than frustration and time waste for your current applicants.

  • SplashOfWallace Splash of Wallace (@SplashOfWallace) reported

    @abdullahtsr @IBKR Yes, but they’ve had a tough week. Really poor site performance & customer service. Bad time to have opened an account with them—they made their own red flags. It was really bad.

  • jahruhle James Ruhle (@jahruhle) reported

    @IBKR hi there, I’d really like to get a hold of customer support somehow. I tried emailing 5 days ago and no response. I’ve been waiting on chat and on hold for over two hours now....

  • InvestorMagoo Investor Magoo (@InvestorMagoo) reported

    @IBKR a perfect negative 5 star for having the worst customer service in the industry. The technology behind their Client Portal is just as bad. It will lock you out of your account and you won' t have access to your funds until it's fixed. Stay away!

  • DataDuckUK Data Duck UK (@DataDuckUK) reported

    @IBKR Like, WTF are you talking about??!? It's time to end the popup. It's time you get on with the trade and stop spouting BS.

  • InvestorMagoo Investor Magoo (@InvestorMagoo) reported

    @IBKR My Client Portal and Trading has been blocked since January 7th. Issues has not been solved yet and Customer Service is non existent. Outrageous! New Trader stay away until they get their act together #investing #trading #interactivebrokers

  • DataDuckUK Data Duck UK (@DataDuckUK) reported

    @IBKR "You are placing a trade without something data, something something (utter garbage)". Then two more: something about fractional orders? I mean, just get on with it - round it up or round it down in the name of god. Tragic.
