María Ibáñez Goicoechea y Jesús Jiménez Cascallana (@MariaIyJesusJ) reported@IBKR Since one week ago I am trying to contact IB about a withdrawal of money that it must be done "promptly", like you explain in your web. By phone (several numbers), by mail, by web... but nobody answer. Please send me a message about how to contact anybody to solve this problem.

Athanassios Diplas (@AthanaDiplas) reportedThe customer service at @IBKR is the worst in the business. Was on hold for ~2 hrs to speak to a rep so I can initiate a transfer to fidelity. Had to submit a web ticket. Did that & 10 days later still no response or action. Today holding again and no person or chat rep in sight.
-
Adlin Ling (@AdlinLing) reported@Bthestory87 @IBKR is terrible for shorting hard to borrow stocks. That has been my experience with them.
-
Pablo Villalba (@micho) reported@AthanaDiplas @IBKR By far my worst support experience too @IBKR. Several times. They could do with a complete replacement of their support org
-
Modestly improving trade plans (@plans_bad) reported@IBKR considering switching over from another broker, but your online application seems down. Just FYI
-
Piyush (@Piyush_reapit) reported@IBKR It's a bad service. Won't recommend.
