Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Capital Helmut 69 (@FranklinBobMor1) reported@coinbase is such a piece of garbage, this happens on a regular basis, especially when you try to send crypto elsewhere. Can you imagine @IBKR or @Fidelity ever being down even once? Even if they were, they have customer service numbers you can call, unlike Clownbase. F these guys.
-
Sam 🇨🇦 (@CanadasFukd) reported@RetiredRtard @Wealthsimple I've had no issues with WS, I think they're great alternative to Big Banks, I use them and @IBKR for trading. There seems to be more to this story...maybe a probate issue
-
Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Worst is anything automation. They are lunatics with that front
-
baani 🦕 (@baanibaani4) reported@ALBACapMgmt @IBKR do you save before logging out? (File > Save Layout) is local JTS folder read-only? uncheck that so settings are saved also File > Global Configuration > Lock and Exit "Use/store settings on server" checked for backing up to IBKR servers
-
SGTano (@SG42353041) reported@IBKR @D3GSolutions The app us awful. I switched back to workstation still bad but better than the app.
-
Bobby Plewniak (@BoBbyPleWniaK) reported@jzrdan @IBKR It’s being used as a marketing tool. Fidelity dropping down to 2,000 minimum was done on purpose
-
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.
-
Himanshu (@hmnsh18) reported@IBKR Your account opening procedure is pathetic.. No customer support and no clear communication why a particular document is rejected My brother is trying to open the account from Saudi for last 2 months and always there is some document is pending
-
TruthFreedomPeace (@TheLepsGold777) reported@SOBRBC @IBKR If you got the "missing libxcb cursor library" error during installation,try using Synaptic Package Manager and search for libxcb-cursor0 and install that and then the IBKR Desktop install should work.
-
STACKDOE (@STACKDOE) reported@IBKR by far one of the worst ui is ancient its 2026 ! mobile app made to make you lose money... not sure who even gave it the green light. just awful on so many levels.
-
Max the VC 👨🚀 (@mreiffy) reported@IBKR You guys legitimately have the worst ui/ux in the business. Not quite sure how it’s even possible given the opportunity before you
-
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.
-
Dun (@mikegor52933) reported@IBKR Genuinely shittiest trading app I’ve ever experienced Says my application was cancelled, but I tried to register a new account and it says my email is already registered. Can’t see **** after login sometimes, only left with user settings which I can’t even change ****
-
Atenov int. (@Atenov_D) reported@buyerofponzi @IBKR can't even get a simple issue resolved
-
Frans Bakker (@FransBakker9182) reportedMy current long stocks in order of portfolio allocation %: $IREN $EOSE $NUAI $KRKNF $CIFR $OSCR $DGXX $POET I have mostly diversified because it makes me able to buy more IREN. @IBKR concentration house rules are the worst.
-
Ethan Hartwell (@EthanTrades13) reportedI recently opened an IBKR Darwin account @IBKR @Darwinexchange - i was told the process would take 1 day I got my approval and tried to access the services but hit with “ineligible” to add funds. Darwin have told me it’s in IBKR’s hands and they cannot help me. It’s been 10 days now and nobody can help me. Pretty shocking experience so far
-
Garry Walker (@GarryWalker) reported@IBKR Your Android app and Linux desktop app are so horrifically broken I have no idea how anyone manages to do business with you.
-
kingran (@KingranYama) reportedThe AI customer support agents give you useless canned information. These AI agents do not understand the nuances of the qst, which is okay, but refusing to pass the qst to human agents in not okay. @IBKR I pay you guys serious money in commission. Can I get some help?
-
DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported@IBKR today I have tried to open TWS in 3 different PCs and it stalls at the "reading layout configuration" screen. I uninstalled the latest version of the software and installed the stable version and had the exact same results. Never had this problem before. I accessed your website and there is no record of such problem currently.
-
PonziMaxi (@ChaserBid) reportedTrying to sort an @IBKR account with stables for 2 days, and it's just an all-round ****** experience. Still waiting for stablecoin approval, interface is horrible, bad UI. Been waiting 5 minutes for the deposit button to render. Do non-crypto folk just accept this as fine?
-
MilesHighClub (@mileshighclubb) reported@cobie @buyerofponzi @IBKR brother is so bored he yearns for customer service. hey man I'm missing like 10k from my cb account.
-
Katy (@Katy49889108) reported@jzrdan @IBKR You obvhourly signed up for new issue IPO alerts, receiving email notifications is standard....
-
Adaxelo (@RoiSinge) reported@IBKR And what about the removal of PDT rules ? All brokers are removing it tomorrow. You are the worst broker ever, I am closing my account
-
Vacuum Cleaner (@agivacuum) reported@blondesnmoney as @IBKR number 1 influencer can you plz suggest they fix their web app while you're at it..
-
ELhuron DasWiesel (@ElhuronD33244) reportedHey @IBKR ! Why is it that your stock newsfeed in the individual tickers is so bad? It shows completely irrelevant information 95% of the time. And if it's relevant judging from the headline it doesnt work half the time when you click on it. This is really annoying.
-
Samuel (@sam_smms) reportedHello @IBKR Can you explain what caused that issue? That problem is still where I made a deposit usdc today, but the amount is hold for a day
-
KhushbooR (@KhushbooR1) reportedInadvertently transferred funds to @IBKR @thomaspeterffy in the US without even having an account, and now your website/customer care is so confusing, I can't even get an option to request refund/reversal. How do I contact you?
-
