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...
-
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
-

joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR Opening a ticket in your susten is actually quite difficult because you have to navigate a mine field of AI generated answers and faq. Your support staff is terrible. Last time I opened a ticket it took a week to get a response.
-
@levelsio (@levelsio) reported@scotttmorton @IBKR @louistheroux Oh got it Typical bad editing work by MSM journos
-
Krystal Lynn (@LynnModine47127) reported@IBKR and if war stops it slams back down buy gold when its a boring market you don't want to be anyone, but the first one buying it during a tempary crisis.

Investment (@Investm80789211) reported@IBKR I’m unable to access my account three days ago or create a support ticket despite trying phone, chat, and email. I have also lost my stop-loss and incurred multiple losses as a result. Please contact me
-
Jack Bauer (@Jack_Bauer2022) reported@IBKR WTF OS going on with your Customer Service phone support, been trying to get through for past hour. Your company is an embarrassing joke, worst service ever!!!
-
Amit Gandhi (@amitpg) reported@JasonAppel10 @IBKR All brokers have some system issues from time to time ! So, in that respect you can't guarantee 100% reliability anywhere. Still to find a broker that beats IBKR all things taken into account.
-
Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported@IBKR Why is TWS doing the following all of a sudden? Secondary confirmation order tickets opening on their own = delays. Sounds confirmations not working. Log-in confirmation not being sent to phone ap half of the time. Aggravating as hell.
-
Adam Voulstaker (@AdamVoulstaker) reported@IBKR genius To setup the two factor auth the QR code in the main terminal will be lost because you sign in on your phone f me whoever is in your IT team needs the sack
-
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!!!
-
Chris Goda (@ChrisGoda) reported@mtrad203 @IBKR I can't log in either. Trader Workstation or mobile app.... Servers seem to be down.
-
kevin@Crypto (@ngocquang19877) reported@brian_armstrong @IBKR fix your damn stock price for **** sake
-
Recoil Vector (@Professornoob00) reported@IBKR what a worst platform you got.i can't able to access my account the customer service for Ireland is also not available.looks like my money gone and scam by your company .what else I could expect from you
-
Stan (@xbc9stazj) reportedAfter around 1 year of investing I transferred all my positions from @DEGIRO to @IBKR for risk exposure I had gone from 81.5K€ to 160K€ but the inflation prints and the overall bearishness cycle slowly landed me around ~113K€ Around that time I decided to load up on $RKLB warrants because I loved the company so much (yes, there were $RKLB warrants at some point) These contracts - I didn’t know it at the time - had pretty simple but specific rules : If the warrants traded higher than $10 for an extended period of time (~2 weeks I think) the company could redeem them, no matter what the current price was. And man did they redeem them The stock was trading at $8 when they did so, offering us the option to buy the stock at the warrant strike price, $11.5, making them basically worthless on a cash basis I got demolished. I freaked out so bad I didn’t where to hide, for the first time as a market participant, I wanted to cry When I discovered there was a cashless exercice option that gave ~0.3 share per warrant, I was actually relieved. But the damage to my portfolio was severe regardless, basically a 70% wipeout on that massive position I didn’t know it at the time but that event was the trigger for a highway to 14K€ When I said in my quoted tweet that it’s going to be hard, this is what I’m referring to

Eight Seven (@kjeightyseven) reported@trading0000007 @Hydra_Thahmid @IBKR lol why don’t you focus on your trading insted of trying to bring someone down who is doing good.
-
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.
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR I had to deal with 3 separate customer care executives on 3 different instances and each of them gives conflicting reasons and advice for the delay and additional documentation. The customer care folks who handle the calls are not clear of your own process.
-
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
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported@l1quid1ty @IBKR but yeh i get your point...its an exchange issue whoever that exchange may be. Clearly this isnt the case with otc stuff like fx which is obviously their issue.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon So frustrated with your service. It is just the worst. Good luck finding customer support. Absolutely ridiculous.

DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR Your India customer care and operations are pathetic. For every funds deposit, the customer care asks additional docs for proof of deposit and this is despite following all the guidelines per your process while transferring funds.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR My bid & ask spreads disappeared. I had to restart TWS to get them back. Then i was getting messages that I was under pdt and i wasn't alliwoded to trade. I am not uber pdt. Not even close to it. I shut down TWS & restarted. That resolved the issue.

Mark Bratt 🔻🔻🔻 (@MarkBratt924939) reported@Prometheus2025 @IBKR I don’t, but if I were a ****** capitalist I would own physical goods such as property, precious metal, guns, non taxable physical coin collection. Paper is coming to an end and US Tbonds are going down to CIPS and destruction of the petrodollar.
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@AiStockAgent @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.
-
super (@super509219312) reported@one_foothurdle @IBKR That’s comforting. Thank you. I was not able to place the trades again when cancellation happened. Support was not reachable. Later I got email saying it was a technical issue on their end.
