    @IBKR Please fix your platform, I am not receiving security codes and I cant even send the customer support an inquiry! Horrible!

  • AdlinLing Adlin Ling (@AdlinLing) reported

    @Bthestory87 @IBKR is terrible for shorting hard to borrow stocks. That has been my experience with them.

  • jagdish_nigade Jagdish Nigade (@jagdish_nigade) reported

    @IBKR worst customer care support experience. Unfortunately forgot account password, Dialled call centers, not able to connect customer care person even waiting for 30 min.

  • Piyush_reapit Piyush (@Piyush_reapit) reported

    @IBKR It's a bad service. Won't recommend.

  • bullbearlovech1 bullbearlovechild (@bullbearlovech1) reported

    @StonkTonk @IBKR There are cheaper alternatives, like Degiro and eToro, but their customer service is even worse, in my experience.

  • BMcbag bagholdin' Mcbag (@BMcbag) reported

    @IBKR What is going on with IBKR "Pro" and $MARA options? Do you guys realize there is a huge problem with your platform in terms of seeing and trading those options and how long do you expect traders to wait?

  • BullishLike BullishLikeJordan (@BullishLike) reported

    @coachbce I’m looking to average down on @IBKR

  • CraigDu62835353 Craig Duncan (@CraigDu62835353) reported

    @isthisjustice1 @HLInvest haha. service can't be worse that @IBKR - probably the worst service I have experienced from any company in any country!

  • JacupsBoyz ALnaturAL🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@JacupsBoyz) reported

    @IBKR I haven’t been able to get ahold of anyone online or by phone... it’s been 2 hours and im still on hold. Wtf Is going on?????

  • Piyush_reapit Piyush (@Piyush_reapit) reported

    @IBKR Horrible service. Taking ages to open an account

  • AthanaDiplas Athanassios Diplas (@AthanaDiplas) reported

    The 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.

  • rastradhyaksha Abhishek (@rastradhyaksha) reported

    @IBKR - is there a better way to connect with you for support... phone number given in email sounds not much of help...

  • BeauDavisPaul1 Beau Cantrell Oakland Paul (@BeauDavisPaul1) reported

    @IBKR you know exactly what she should do is stop making money cold and let other people make the money for her and themselves. She listened to everything didn't she. ****. Some of that, the Warner, was a game

  • be_joejoe Joe (@be_joejoe) reported

    @realwillmeade @barronsonline @IBKR took me only a 4,5 hours (!) wait on the phone last time to speak to a customer service representative. Never experienced something like this before

  • NeumieAwards Neumie Awards (@NeumieAwards) reported

    @IBKR Your website is down.

  • eldiablofund El Diablo Investment Fund (@eldiablofund) reported

    @IBKR Your Montreal toll-free number is generating an error message, "1B1 the client you're trying to reach is unavailable right now".

  • plans_bad Modestly improving trade plans (@plans_bad) reported

    @IBKR considering switching over from another broker, but your online application seems down. Just FYI

  • BarbaraSusanCPA Barbara R (@BarbaraSusanCPA) reported

    @WillLinley @CraigDu62835353 @IBKR Who cares about that. The service in its entirety is lousy.

  • BUYHIGH88380752 BUYHIGHSELLLOW (@BUYHIGH88380752) reported

    @IBKR I can't login since I am not receiving the security code and I also am unable to send a customer ticket since that gives an error... What kind of **** service is this?

  • unknown_traders Anonymous Trader (@unknown_traders) reported

    $IMTL This one became ineligible stock somehow on @IBKR, people can't buy it anymore on this broker and can only sell, that's why it's down today imo... @IBKR i'm confused, why?

  • popcarts carter berger (@popcarts) reported

    @IBKR I have been locked out of my account and have been on hold for over an hour. Same thing with chat. Can you give me a phone number or email for someone who can help? Or can one of your reps call me?

  • santi_marte Santi Marte (@santi_marte) reported

    @DoorHodler @IBKR Did you manage to get past this issue?

  • micho 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

  • aluru_sudheer Sudheer Aluru (@aluru_sudheer) reported

    @IBKR dear IBKR I have opened my account with you couple of days ago I made a refund request for my deposits made on my cancelled application number U5676345 No agent being available to help what wrong? Thanks

  • SarPasTrade SarPas (@SarPasTrade) reported

    @IBKR I've been waiting for a week for an approval on a trading request. Only answer I received is "you have to wait". What else do I have to do to receive this approval? Please DM to find a solution. Thank you in advance.

  • isthisjustice1 isthisjustice (@isthisjustice1) reported

    @CraigDu62835353 @HLInvest @IBKR Mate HL has gone down 8 times this year, you can't do any trades. Calling them takes over an hour wait time and I'm waiting two weeks for a response via secure message

  • santi_marte Santi Marte (@santi_marte) reported

    @RealightTrader @IBKR Did you manage to get past this issue? @IBKR is impossible to contact.

  • StonkTonk Alex (@StonkTonk) reported

    Is there any good alternative to @IBKR for europeans? I'm honestly done with their customer service, messages take more than 1 week to be replied and it takes more than 30 min in queue to be able to chat with someone.

  • BarbaraSusanCPA Barbara R (@BarbaraSusanCPA) reported

    @IBKR Your service is lacking. I would NOT recommend.

  • FintwitBoss Day Trader (@FintwitBoss) reported

    @IBKR Fix your customer support first.
