-
Cypher3d (@RealityCypher) reported@IBKR has the worst customer support I've seen for any product/service I've ever used in my entire life. It's honestly breathtaking...
-

-
itsuki (@itsukitak) reportedAnyone having issues with @IBKR orders?
-
Sabs Goranova (@sgoranova82) reportedWould not recommend @IBKR to anyone at the moment. Locked out of trading account due to a system bug for a week. No one able to give an answer when this is fixed or resolved. No apologies, compensation or updates. Lousy customer care. Who is the regulatory body in the US?
-
Binay Jha (Chartered Accountant) (@binaycjha) reported@JacobMcGrew6 @IBKR Yes. It was a system issues which they are trying to resolve. But you need to call them and they need to reset all the accounts to make it work. After that you need to logout and login again.
-
peter (@hfbjg53287314) reported@senzu_capital @IBKR Same issue
-
J (@Blue_1Trades) reported@IBKR Why does your platform run so awful. Also, I did an ACH transfer into my account that I initiated on Friday and the funds aren't settled in my account. What's the deal? @CharlesSchwab settles my funds after 2 business days. What is the deal ?
-
Guru (@ZainGuru4) reported@IBKR How to get that. I am a customer and haven’t got any interest on my cash balance. I think that asterisk mark is where the devil is
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@senzu_capital @JosephW31117119 @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.
-
Rich Pinks (@RichPinks) reportedJust keep $AMC above $1 until shorts crack, that's it, that's all you have to do. @IBKR showed me 11112.2 Bil shares traded volume today. The glitch better have my money, that's all I'm saying. ABOVE ONE DOLLAR. I like that discount, count me in. The Box Office will bring $$$$$$$
-
CT🪐 (@gercekci_V) reported@joemccann @IBKR @ibkr has a horrible user-interface, i decided to stop using it and pay premium extra cost elsewhere where user interface is much more friendly. call me stupid but I have seen zero improvement by ibkr in the last 7 years - they do not even try
-
Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported@IBKR The worst customer service EVER! I started an application on Thursday 3/19 and I already hate you. Was denied trading permission for futures on a cash account. Nobody can tell me why I was denied or what the requirements to trade futures are.
-
Colt45.eth (@wilson_eth) reported@TheTechInvest @IBKR The buyer of these is far more likely just playing the pop on the depressed option. Not bad news by any means but probably similar to the $700 tsla calls that keep coming through heavy.
-
QuantCat (@justquantcat) reported@IBKR please fix, I’ve been having it for months now
-
𝔢𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔢𝔢 (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR if you think I'm going to shut up. If you ignore me you've got a whole different problem. I will not back down or shut up until some responses found and a resolve of this issue is met
-
(((Marise Hausner))) (@olimassociates) reportedStay away from @IBKR. Poor customer service. Even poorer IT dept. No to little concern for clients. No excuse for this level of incompetence.
-
Agent Smith (@AiStockAgent) reportedI can’t close any of my futures positions at interactive Brokers.. anyone else having this issue?? Bad timing for IBKR to be broken in this crazy market! @IBKR
-
PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported@kallervoinen @IBKR I don't know I was on a call with 2 other traders and we are all on different continents. We all got "Invalid order" System Rejected order right around the bottom. The problem arise around 10:15 -10:30. We called Support and Trading Desk they provided 0 help and not even cover for the guys that were short. We ended up spamming the Keys until we could get out. I woke up 4 hours later and it's still not working Unacceptable for one of the most legit and biggest broker out there. Clients losing 100's of millions without any way to manage
-
Weeble Rothschild (@noruserious) reported@IBKR and @ibkr spent a total of 30 minutes trying to get someone on the line--on 2 dif days. No one answers. wtf? youve been around for decades!!!
-
David Wayne (@WDoft) reported@IBKR Sorry for bringing the average down.
-
Acmesafeco (@acmesafeco) reported@IBKR Warning to anyone considering switching to IBKR will allow you to deposit funds but be aware new accounts will not get approved for trading with no explanation. Here's the best part...you cant even send the funds back to your existing broker so just watch the market while they hold your money. No explanation, no customer support, just tough ****.
-
Alexa Web3 (@alexabelonix) reported@FarmerJoe0x @IBKR Platform stability matters more than features when the market's hot
-
Alex 👹 (@Alex_Steger_) reported@super509219312 @IBKR This is obviously a different level of concern and seems to show that they're not being careful about their updates. In the 7yrs of using them, most issues have been the annoying types, not mini heart attack types For me, if there's another major type of issue, then I'm moving
-
Vivek Vtsp Teja (@VivekVtspTeja) reportedThank you @Chase for blocking 3 wires. Making me sit on the call for hours and still not sending it. I am only sending it to @IBKR who I have sent it in the past. Wtf
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR Useless. Can't login and am told to get help by phone. But they don't answer the phone. They refer me back to their support page which says I have to call. Thank God they've got very little of my money.

Eugene (@Eugenet63824560) reported@IBKR Worst interface
