  • OgbeiEdward
    Otunba ₿ (@OgbeiEdward) reported

    @IBKR @IBKR I deposited funds during an account application that was subsequently declined. I have raised a support ticket, sent emails, and sent DMs. Over a week later, no response and no refund. I expect a regulated institution to do better than this. Please resolve this urgently.

    @IBKR Really need to work on the UI and also if the website is going to be so complicated you need to make accessing live support much less difficult

  • Yogithebearish
    joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR I would really appreciate if every response did not say the same thing. Then I would know I am actually talking to a person and not a computer-generated response. That just shows how little you truly care about customer service and why you are in my opinion the worst

    @IBKR I sent funds from my bank before 8 days but I still don’t see them in my account. Please help. It’s been so many days.

    @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.

    @IBKR In blue states. If you don't have wealth, then you can't fix medical problems with your health.

  • Yogithebearish
    joe (@Yogithebearish) reported

    @IBKR Also your support is terrible. It is absolutely useless. Which is why I come here to complain.

  • jminvesting
    John Martin (@jminvesting) reported

    I really want to use @IBKR and twice now I've tried to fund and set up an account. Their insistence on you having your phone nearby to check their mobile app for some code every 10 minutes has caused me to give up each time. Awful experience and poor security design.

  • JoelDeTeves

    @IBKR I want to use my own models running on my own hardware. Please provide an MCP server or something other models can connect to

    @IBKR @D3GSolutions The app us awful. I switched back to workstation still bad but better than the app.

  • Ramblin_Rebel13
    Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported

    @FredrikEJohans2 @IBKR @CFTC It eventually got corrected after several hours, had to test it every 15min. But never got a notification on why it happened or when it was supposed to be resolved. Submitted a complaint to the CFTC regardless, super unprofessional reckless

  • iamshraey_
    Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported

    @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown for an Australian resident is driver’s licence, and submission always fails with invalid ID type. Support keeps telling me to upload a passport which isn’t even an available option or try again as it might be tech glitch. Is this a serious platform with tech or support team or just GPT-4 era vibe coded?

    @ALBACapMgmt @IBKR Hi I don’t know anything about IBKR…But I have found this comment from Gemini pro 3.1. It might help, who knows: “If all else fails, many traders create a dedicated "Custom View" in the Option Chain (gear icon -> *Settings* -> *Column Management* -> *Custom Views*)

    @IBKR ARE U STUPID OR SOMETHING?GET RID OF PDT 25k requirements now! @IBKR

    @IBKR what a painful experience is to use Interactive Brokers. Avoid it at all means. The server doesnt work or it is very slow way to often.

  • xicbassix
    TJ Brush (@xicbassix) reported

    @IBKR Called customer service which was an even worse experience. Rep refused to remove the 3 trades in 5 days limit even though it’s been well over 5 days. She said I’d get a letter re: PDT rules but couldn’t even say how long until those letter go out. She refused to allow me to speak to someone in a decision making capacity and when I asked to have the situation escalated she told me I had to go online and start a ticked…. You guys are a joke and I hope lots of people see this.

  • Borispov_
    Boris Povolotsky (@Borispov_) reported

    @hanshaozi @IBKR I’m interested, too. @IBKR Would you at least address this issue publicly and state when do you plan on removing PDT rule??

  • ambusiness
    jeff henderson (@ambusiness) reported

    @IBKR We are? Groceries, energy,unemployment and deficit spending are all up. GDP and world respect are down. How exactly are we "back"?

    @IBKR your desktop app doesn’t work! Fix it FFS!

  • hspnyc

    @IBKR No one is replying and you already have my money for 5 days. Please expedite asap or I will make a complaint with business buearu

    @IBKR no support at all as I’ve been waiting days for my account to be setup.

    @TheFrumInvestor @IBKR Llc with liquidity problems nothing to be ashamed of. What factor rate are you looking for?

    @IBKR October 2025 to 17th June 2026..... is within your service timeframe of 1-3 business days. How long is a business day in the galaxy you are writing from?!

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Go read recent YouTube comments and hear Chris Camillo describing how terrible a user experience he has with your app. You give truly terrible customer experiences, and yet so many of us want to use your services for international trades. Level up!!

  • cdnsos
    Come Heavy (@cdnsos) reported

    @IBKR @JoseTorresEcon What is going on with your Client Portal?? It has gotten so completely unusable you actually look like a scam site now. I know you're not but if I was considering onboarding right now I wouldn't dare put real money on. Like, it's truly terrible.

    @IBKR Could you change the requirement for proof of overseas address to proof of address? Countless Chinese people are blocked from registering because of this address issue.

    @grok @IBKR This feels like vaporware. wtf?

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