-
Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported@IBKR Hey IBKR, you have changed the log in system to authentification based on SMS code. There are multiple ways to log in but EVERY ONE requires SMS. To get log in help also, you need SMS. What if the SMS number in your system is wrong AS IN MY CASE? I can't change it bc 1/2

Mendax Venatorem (@mendaxvenatorem) reported@IBKR Terrible
-
fundamentally its a bargain (@its_fundamental) reported@IGcom @Therichardralph @IBKR Says the company whose platform is down at a crucial time of day as market opens in US. I would suggest looking at ii - they are a quality operation unlike IG. IG will just disappoint.

Luna Trades (@totheluna21) reported@IBKR Technical issues around SanDisk earning times yesterday was a bit suspicious? I have friends lost money as they couldn't close positions you will have a log of this as they called in too to have you market close their positions
-
Ryan (@nycguy1988) reported@IBKR And HORRIFIC SLIPPAGE that crushes P&L, with slow customer service in submitting trade busts to CBOE that costs clients money. I'm mad at you.
-
Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR The worst platform I’ve ever used, customer service is terrible, you’re a bunch of thief’s charging me £75 for fail transaction and you’re nit even getting back to me. Warning do nit use this company they are the worst kind to deail with…
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR do you ever solve problems. When faced with a question your customer service reps just leave the chat room. Your tech does not work (docusign process, image upload on chat etc.) And your reps have no intention to solve anything.
-
Palmer (@BankTheTrade) reported$MRNA 174.38 down 20 @IBKR delayed the updated option chains until today for whatever reason....
-
Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I have spent the week trying to get thru to a person to talk to about my account. Your automated phone service hangs up when you select speak to agent. It tells you to log in but it does not log in. And tells you contact customer service for login assistance.
-
abc2cb (@abc2cb1) reported@algoflows @IBKR i gave up on a registration process lol awful service
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@Dilpree28887118 @IBKR A lot of distress and frustration. There's absolutely no reason for them to block my access to my accounts. It's unethical. The affected customers. They must be sued, and an ALERT must be issued to customers to avoid the BAD SERVICE and disrespect of this trap called ibkr.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@IBKR No I'm moving to another brokerage. It's 2026 I'm not submitting web tickets when I'm trading $100k positions. You guys can pick up a phone like every other normal brokerage. Take some tips from Schwab and you guys need better customer service, app UX and really everything.

-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your software is such a pos. It is not sending the notification to my phone for me to login. I cannot access my account. I tried logging in with the QR code and it shows page not found. I need access to my account. You are just the software in the market. Total garbage

-
Richard • Investing & FI (@Therichardralph) reported@financewithjoe @IBKR Possibly on low value the Fx fees being higher Vs trade cost might not be so much of an issue.
-
Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@IBKR I did that and out of frustration I have written here as they are asking to use my passport when passport is not in one of the options offered for Australia clearly documented in the ticket and screenshot I submitted. They only offer Australian drivers license and then on submission call id type invalid. The tech team on a call just mentions to try again rather than solving the issue and a musical chair game is going on between support and tech folks.
