    @Sanji_vals @IBKR You can use the second 2Auth with an authenticator app from google or microsoft. Just make sure to connect them with cloud. If you loose your phone, download the app on the new one and login wirh authenticator app. Its really annoying to contact support, which is so difficult.

    @IBKR I wont even try to open an account. Too many people I know and respect complain your UI is horrible. Not going to until you guys get inboard and invest in your mobile and desktop UI

    @IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown is an Australian 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?

    @zxc68984008 @IBKR Trust is less about slogans than execution: custody, disclosures, uptime, and how problems are handled when markets are stressed.

    @blahajcapital @IBKR Im guessing they dont have enough onshore margin posted to cover their clients positions...there are no exchange problems....its bullshit

    @IBKR is down during trading hours. This is the first time this has happened to me. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue and unable to log in to their account?

    @IBKR i day trade a lot, used IBKR desktop initially damn ******, so slow and refresh issue, no help, screen freeze at times, and then went back to traderworkstation, another major issue is PDT waive off kind of new feature IBKR taking long to implement.

    @IBKR @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!

    @IBKR A platform upgrade is only meaningful if order routing, outage history, and total trading costs improve alongside the interface.

    @ravihanda @IBKR Does this mean IBKR account creations are basically frozen till they sort this out? wtf

  • ndaopoenya_

    @IBKR Hello IBKR Support Team, I'm from Indonesia and need your help accessing my IBKR account. I'm unable to set up Two-Factor Authentication (IBKR Mobile Authentication). When I try to log in, I can't complete the security verification process, so I'm locked out of my account.

    @jeremiahrogers @IBKR is horrible and their customer service absolutely sucks! Tried them and couldn’t wait to get my funds out - which they held for a stupid amount of time.

    @IBKR @Paysafe We having a terrible experience in Africa. Pliz make funding easier for us, current methods are so expensive and chaotic

    @zxc68984008 @IBKR Low rates help, but leverage still magnifies mistakes. Read the margin rules, liquidation policy, and cash-rate eligibility before opening an account.

    Good grief @IBKR how can your app be this bad? I thought TOS at Schwab was bad but take me back!!!

  • nathan96911
    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.

    @IBKR plz fix your connection problem, the app crashed during trading time is ridiculous and unacceptable

  • johnkmason
    John Mason (@johnkmason) reported

    Sidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).

  • ihottoddy
    todd morse (@ihottoddy) reported

    @IBKR Ur total garbage. I switched from schwab and swith back after one day. U dont tell people u have to have 100k to get best margin rate then at 1259. All margins go up to 50% and u sell some of my stocks. Customer service is trash also..u should be shut down

  • ALBACapMgmt
    🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reported

    Im going to say something nice about @IBKR. After the Kospi futures and options debacle, they promptly recognised that clients may have claims and while I didnt really agree with the protocol for settling them, they settled them promptly with regular status updates. Not the worst.

    @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

    @mm_options @IBKR Server-side outage, not your fault. Did you check the IBKR status page or try a different device?

  • FykePeony
    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

    @D3GSolutions @IBKR Incredible there isn’t a good broker to use in 2026. TD Ameritrade was hands down the best but it’s gone now and nothing even compares now. Pathetic
