    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.

    Sidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).

    @CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR IBKR worst broker I’ve ever had and it isn’t close

  • F1ashmanR
    Ross (@F1ashmanR) reported

    @Therichardralph @IBKR Do they have a cash isa you can easily transfer between? Same issue as you with trading 212, fees are high on the fx if scalp trading, Anything small cap is slow and generally poor execution price in comparison to my IG trading account

    Roman Lightman (@b_contrary) reported

    @IBKR Idiot deserves a good beating for being so stupid. Anyone foolish enough to leave a country that everyone else is risking their lives to get into that country gets what they deserve.

    @IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.

    @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?

    @IBKR @Paysafe We having a terrible experience in Africa. Pliz make funding easier for us, current methods are so expensive and chaotic

  • NataliiaKoval
    Natalka (@NataliiaKoval) reported

    @IBKR Phone support in 2026? I’m constantly traveling and changing phone numbers to the country I’m visiting. I don’t have a permanent phone number. That’s why I can’t login as you blocked the possibility to change phone numbers.

    @Therichardralph @IBKR Trades not executing , I’ve used the platform for 3 years no problems ?

    @kyingda @IBKR 1(877)4422757 This number and the other one are a FARCE, there is no contact, it is IMPOSSIBLE, thousands of issues without answers, the INCOMPETENCE and NEGLIGENCE of ibxr diminished customer service.U25159972

    @IBKR @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!

  • DavidSilvaSmith

    plus 12 messages across two support tickets. @IBKR please help me resolve this URGENT issue.

  • ALBACapMgmt
    🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported

    If 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 ?

  • TradeandMoney
    Doug Campbell (@TradeandMoney) reported

    @IBKR @Polymarket The score is now: IBKR 1, Me 0. First I went to AI to resolve my problem, and then tech support. They sent me to read some article that i couldn't see. I was going to send support a screen shot of what I saw when i clicked on the article link, but there support chat had a bug and the upload didn't work! You can't make this stuff up. In the end support told me to come back tomorrow and try.

  • TT_stocks_
    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

  • WandaCase9l
    Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported

    @zxc68984008 @IBKR Trust is less about slogans than execution: custody, disclosures, uptime, and how problems are handled when markets are stressed.

  • Dragonito007
    Drago (@Dragonito007) reported

    @AshknKW @IBKR Bro I sold a lot of things 15 minutes before the crash I would go crazy now if I didn't.

    @IBKR plz fix your connection problem, the app crashed during trading time is ridiculous and unacceptable

    @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

    I just want to say, from the bottom of my heart, **** @IBKR You are SO full of **** I'm going to Webull.

    Has anyone else had issues with Trading Permissions for US penny stocks on @IBKR? Their customer support isn't the best either... way too slow.

  • large_farva34
    Rod Farva (@large_farva34) reported

    @IBKR You are terrible. I have been trying to get money out of my account for 4 weeeks. I truly hate your company

  • FykePeony
    Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported

    @IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2

    @Lionessxxxx (@Lionessxxxx1969) reported

    @IBKR Totally irrelevant **** advert authorised by Google. Muted, blocked, dislikes reported as Spam & Google still put in on my timeline. The advertiser & Google can **** off for spam scamming me

  • WandaCase9l
    Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported

    @IBKR “Trust” should be verifiable: disclose custody, execution quality, fees, margin rules, and protections by jurisdiction—not just global reach.

  • letilibertad
    Leticia Ft (@letilibertad) reported

    @IBKR Sorry for my question but I'm out of the loop on BTS and Jikook news because I've had a terrible headache. Are Rm, Jin and Suga in Paris? I only saw V, Hope and Jk stuff in Paris.

    @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)

  • D3GSolutions
    Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported

    @Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.
