MisterX2025 (@billYT2025) reported@IBKR In blue states. If you don't have wealth, then you can't fix medical problems with your health.
-
Axl Rufi (@AxlRufi) reported@IBKR @Paysafe your ******* machine not working
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon @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!
-
Doug Campbell (@TradeandMoney) reported@IBKR @Polymarket The score is now: IBKR 1, Me 0. First I went to AI to resolve my problem, and then tech support. They sent me to read some article that i couldn't see. I was going to send support a screen shot of what I saw when i clicked on the article link, but there support chat had a bug and the upload didn't work! You can't make this stuff up. In the end support told me to come back tomorrow and try.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedIBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.
-
Brad Kibel (@KibelBrad) reported@IBKR Sell the stupid ****
-
Y. Daniel Cheng (@danielhitome) reported@IBKR you expect people to respond to account messages in message center while banning people from accessing the message center, amazing. How many system issues you receive and ignore every day?
-
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
-
Lex◇Investor (@Inves2grow) reported@_charles289 @IBKR no problems.
-
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.
-
Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reportedI have an open position but @IBKR has kindly told me to f off at least twice now with no ETA on a fix. Their traders can't even close my position. Why is this ok? @CFTC
-
Painpal (@painpalcapital) reported@IBKR maybe fix your damn servers?
-
KhunCrypto (@KhunCrypto) reported@IBKR I am writing to complain about persistent issues on your website: login is unreliable across multiple access points, and my saved settings (portfolio, watchlist) are regularly lost, forcing me to reconfigure them constantly.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedI want to know the qualifications one needs to work at @IBKR because boy when I tell you I feel like I'm talking to Wal mart customer service, these people don't have a clue.
-
Piyush Parmar (@learner_air) reported@IBKR Worst service
-
David Silva Smith (@DavidSilvaSmith) reportedUgh, calling @IBKR for the 13th time in 10 business days to try and resolve what I believe to be a simple issue 😡
-
Martin BC (@MARTINPARK111) reported@IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.
-
J.J. Jejeebhoy (@jjeebhoy) reportedObscene for @IBKR to go down in the middle of a trading day
-
The Titan Traders (@TT_stocks_) reported@D3GSolutions @IBKR Worst customer service in history I’m not joking. Took them (6) months to reach out to me about my inquiry about a simple rebate on my $371,000 in commissions I spent. At the end of it all they said there is nothing they can do. ******* worthless
-
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.
-
FactPulse (@FactPulse93508) reported@IBKR Worst broker for trading small caps on the planet. They will lock you from exiting your position whenever they feel like it and you will lose 5-10x more before the cap is lifted.
-
HappyHKL (@HappyHkL1) reported@IBKR Over 60 minutes of complete outage during extreme market volatility, and NOT A SINGLE WORD from you?! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬Traders are trapped and losing money every second as prices flip! We demand an immediate public statement AND a clear loss compensation plan NOW! 💣🔥😤🤬😤🤬😤🤬😤🤬
-
Speculator (@PNW_Swingtrader) reported@NickSchmidt Hey Nick. I've had a good experience with @IBKR . It doesn't seem to crash during extreme volatility like @CharlesSchwab does.
-
Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@IBKR Your support is TRASH! I already sent about 5 requests weeks, some month ago. Still no answer. I dont think I will ever get one. And there is no other way to resolve my issues with IBKR. So there is no solution for my problems, while IBKR stock is skyrocketing. Shame on you!
-
Ashrith Govind (@ashrithgovind) reported@defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!
-
Peter Penny (@PeterCarli28957) reported@CoreyCicero @TT_stocks_ @IBKR IBKR worst broker I’ve ever had and it isn’t close
-
Mendax Venatorem (@mendaxvenatorem) reported@IBKR Terrible
-

-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@ebbe77 @IBKR I was about to withdraw $3464.85 in cash to transfer to my bank, and after waiting a month, they suddenly invented an issue to keep my money for a while. This is a scam.U25159972

Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR @sumeet06 Waste of time, nobody over there get back to you customer service is dead.
