Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
SpackySpacky (@spactastical) reported@IBKR One of the least aesthetically designed desktops and least intuitive interfaces every made. So bad it actually takes effort.
-
Kuro Katball 🐈⬛ (@KuroKatball) reported@IBKR How do I get a human tech support person on the line? I specifically wanted help with an issue because the iBot information is not helping at all, but all I get from support is more copy paste AI answers and they keep closing my ticket without even reading my question.
-
BullDriven (@BullDriven) reported@IBKR Followed up with web ticket several times. Slow response and unable to to say when ibkr will announce info pertaining to pdt rule change. Disappointing as all other major brokers have announced and majority are ready day 1 on June 4th. Will be looking at others options if no news
-
Jamie Fortie (@FortieJami77198) reported@IBKR hey yo, settled DRS transfer not received after 10 business days, ticket system unresponsive. Phone call got hung up, all tickets are AI, no customer service. Like WTF, guys stay a mile from this broker if you can
-
LeonNoelLion (@LeonLionNoel) reported@IBKR Go **** yourselves.
-
见微 (@DoryYinxuan) reported@IBKR That hidden FX fee thing is the worst! I had no idea how much I was losing until I switched to IBKR. Such a game-changer for my US stock trades. 😩
-
0x.Nya (@jin_devilfruits) reported@IBKR Using the inquiry on yourwebsite with my username/account name gives me an error as well, so really there is no means getting to you guys. Kind of disgraceful isn't it? @IBKR
-
joez.eth (@fbjoe) reportedWho's heading @IBKR product department? it looks like you guys put a lot of effort to make your UX terrible. Honestly if you pay me nothing I would do a better job
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Your investment into support is FAQ and AI. That is not helpful. What is helpful is talking to people. Hire people to do the job not a robot because trying to navigate you FAQ and AI to get to a location to speak with a person is a frustrating nightmare.
-
大侠 (@M2MLiRWzrWumuWR) reported@IBKR This is garbage! I opened a sub-account on May 22nd and deposited funds on May 23rd, but it's still showing as pending on June 1st. I can't trade and have missed many opportunities. The price is already very high. Can't you compensate me? Damn it!😭
-
DismalDeFi (@DismalDefi) reported@IBKR @Cboe I don’t understand how Interactive Brokers remains in business. They have the world’s worst customer service.
-
Jeff (@jmclarty) reportedHappy 19-year customer of @IBKR here. This is the first feature WS rolled out where I'd consider moving all 6 of my accounts. Let me know an ETA for when you can ship this, I'd rather not move.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.
-
L5 (@apexminibot) reported@aleabitoreddit @labubu_trader @IBKR I totally concur that #IBKR UI is trash, also the response time for navigating and waiting for things to load is just intolerable. Please upgrade the infra and spend some money to fix!
-
The EV Hunter (@LastGambler_777) reported@IBKR I do not recommend IB, terrible costumer service. Just look how they answer people on the comment section here. I have a position for several years due to a short on a company that did a merger that they never close and refuse to allow a cashout.
-
Davide Morcelli EU (@Davide_Morcelli) reported@IBKR run one of the best trading platforms in the world and one of the more embarrassing support desks attached to it. Almost 10 days of silence on a routine ISA request, after a cheerful "we'll revert soon." The bar is on the floor.
-
Ethan Hartwell (@EthanTrades13) reported@IBKR @Darwinexchange ????? Both of you are telling me to contact the other. This is a service provided directly through your company with each other. Can someone please assist me ?
-
Ten Beers (@NBee007) reported@IBKR Yeah I checked and I’m connected to the internet…… Your quick support page doesn’t have anything related to blank screen after submitting application.
-
EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@IBKR Terrible broker with so many new restrictions and glitches.
-
Shandukani (@Shandukani2210) reported@IBKR Hey I've lost my phone and I've changed my number,I can't even login to my account and I got running trades/positions
-
Vikas kumar (@Vikasro50357845) reported@IBKR Very Bad service no responce 😡
-
Vj (@VJ_303) reported@IBKR Not able to find any customer care contact number for Qatar, number of on website not working, Chat support is **** show with autobots...there is no way for communication with #ibkr how we should trust you if we can't communicate with you?
-
Abbie3 (@abbieelevinegm1) reported@IBKR how do I reach someone in customer service?
-
Odysseus | phylax.systems (@odysseas_eth) reported@cobie @buyerofponzi @IBKR too bad the IBKR M&A guys are probably not on x
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Your charts are freezing and I am in the middle of a trade. Your software is truly the worst around. Absolute garbage. Anyone not using IB that wants to consider it should runaway. Terrible custmer service and software that acts and feels like it is from the early ninties.
-
Wethr.net (@Wethrnet) reportedIf you are an executive at @IBKR or you are @shayne_coplan and you are wondering why your Climate Market volume is in the toilet - consider that your resolution source is DELETING data prior to resolution. You are resolving markets on bad data.
-
Sachin (@bitcoin__asset) reported@IBKR I opened account..and trust me your system is pathetic..worst app performance..overall you are one of the worst exchange where i opened account and i regret this decision
-
Urban Miner (@JakeUrban82) reported@ChizaramNelo Yeah support is subpar @IBKR They will help but not the level of WealthSimple.
-
M🅰️rbles (@Marbles6) reported@ASTS_SpaceMob I'm not worried. Launch in around 2 weeks. I can take 10% hit. The only people who benefit from selling are the enemy shorts. MoC is up, available shares to short are down by 75% with @IBKR. Only way we go down is if someone wants to buy at a lower price - propably significantly more than you paid yourself. Dont sell, price goes up. It really is that simple.
-
personal_cxk (@DzunLIvBzQrdSaH) reported@IBKR Authorization with the MCP server failed. You can check your credentials and permissions. If this persists, share this reference with support: "ofid_4cae1cb49557c937"
