Interactive Brokers Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIf a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@IBKR A platform upgrade is only meaningful if order routing, outage history, and total trading costs improve alongside the interface.
-
The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic
-
Pupu Chen (@PupuChen4) reported@IBKR I’ve been a customer for 10 years. I’m quitting it n moving my pot over to another broker. Customer service sucks, they move your funds without your consent and are not forthcoming with the reasons for doing so
-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I have spent the week trying to get thru to a person to talk to about my account. Your automated phone service hangs up when you select speak to agent. It tells you to log in but it does not log in. And tells you contact customer service for login assistance.

Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@CarolAn64246005 @IBKR I was about to withdraw $3464.85 in cash to transfer to my bank, and after waiting a month, they suddenly invented an issue to keep my money for a while. This is a scam.U25159972
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedIBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@tomlikestocode @IBKR same problem here
-
Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reportedI have an open position but @IBKR has kindly told me to f off at least twice now with no ETA on a fix. Their traders can't even close my position. Why is this ok? @CFTC
-
habibi (@habibi_zzyy) reported@ekapob @IBKR yes。down
-
Miguel H (@miguel_hincapie) reported@IBKR IBKR desktop Mac version is not loading the charts from last release you did, can you fix it?
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedDear @IBKR it's 2026 and you need to update and do some serious work to your IBKR mobile app for people who actively trade. When I call in people act as if nobody even uses it which isn't true. Get that thing like TWS and give TOS a run for its damn money.
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@IBKR is down during trading hours. This is the first time this has happened to me. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and unable to log in to their account?
-
Rob Gray (@robmgray76) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR The FX fees are higher than T212 and the interest paid on cash is less but it works well. I pay £5.99 per month to bring the FX fees down a bit.
-
MisterX2025 (@billYT2025) reported@IBKR In blue states. If you don't have wealth, then you can't fix medical problems with your health.
-
Martin BC (@MARTINPARK111) reported@IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.
-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I would not recommend using this brokerage service as they seem to completely ignore any customer service. No human answers their telephone customer service line.
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@PhenixInvesting @skyquake_1 @IBKR Its possible to reduce positions in Kospi futures and options now. It wasnt yesterday, wasnt given any explanation other than they were aware there was a problem.
-
The PATRIOT 🎭 (@joventapollo) reported@IBKR @Paysafe We having a terrible experience in Africa. Pliz make funding easier for us, current methods are so expensive and chaotic
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@SquawkStreet @IBKR It's impossible to contact IBXR support: 1(877)442-2757, it doesn't work. I can only hope that the issue they fabricated to keep my $3464.85 cash will be returned to me someday. U25159972
-
HappyHKL (@HappyHkL1) reported@IBKR Over 60 minutes of complete outage during extreme market volatility, and NOT A SINGLE WORD from you?! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬Traders are trapped and losing money every second as prices flip! We demand an immediate public statement AND a clear loss compensation plan NOW! 💣🔥😤🤬😤🤬😤🤬😤🤬
-
PSaif (@PedSaif) reported@optionsbbq @tastytrade @IBKR For options, Ibkr mobile app is much better than the desktop options they offer imo, but the desktop apps may have improved in recent iterations (they were way too slow and clunky before)
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your software is such a pos. It is not sending the notification to my phone for me to login. I cannot access my account. I tried logging in with the QR code and it shows page not found. I need access to my account. You are just the software in the market. Total garbage

Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@ebbe77 @IBKR I was about to withdraw $3464.85 in cash to transfer to my bank, and after waiting a month, they suddenly invented an issue to keep my money for a while. This is a scam.U25159972
-
Susan-Betty Love (@QuackSlayerHK) reported@IBKR Fix your fxxking app/platform. This is unacceptable during market hours
-
yd (@kyingda) reported@IBKR what are you going to do about my account that still has money inside but able to sign in or reset, stupid thing is, I need to sign in to submit a ticket. Phone support not useful, they say unable to find my account. I have screenshots of me transferring money in the account
-
Randy888 (@randy8silver) reported@IBKR @Paysafe my account is locked out, tried calling and it hangs up, tried email and fails, tried to create a support ticket but you have to login to create one, need help, worst support ever.
-
Oded Tamir (@tamir_oded) reported@IBKR It takes more than 10 days to open account in Israel and still waiting . This is level of service of the 80'.
