-
Al Sher (@b1ackops) reported@IBKR your desktop app doesn’t work! Fix it FFS!
-
Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reportedI think @IBKR is the worst website interface and support experience I have ever had. That includes the DMV, gov tax website, etc.
-
Rod Farva (@large_farva34) reported@IBKR Absolutely worst customer service experience of any company I have ever worked with by far. I hate you guys.
-
Andrea (@Andrea79983493) reported@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?!
-
John Martin (@jminvesting) reportedI 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.
-
Jasdeep (@jmadan) reported@IBKR what a bad signup process you have as compared to @CMCMarkets ... almost 2 weeks and still want more documents vs 1 day. Would not recommend @IBKR to any anyone
-
Jona (@JJLDoc) reported.@IBKR You guys are the worst. I set to sell my position with a limit and it passed that limit but no fill. I canceled it and made way lower limit but no sell. Tried many time with no fill. When the IV crashed I put a sell limit it got filled. So pathetic 🙄
-
MeversusMe (@Cruzdavidmiguel) reported@IBKR Worst broker in the business!
-
DadBod (@alpha_imag8252) reported@IBKR No solution for my problem so far. The Windows app doesn't go through the opening process in any of my computers in 2 different adresses. My friends told me they have the same problem. What is happening???
-
Oded Tamir (@tamir_oded) reported@IBKR It takes more than 10 days to open account in Israel and still waiting . This is level of service of the 80'.
-
William W. Nicholas (@Alohayall_) reported@IBKR A new week begins. When would you stupid team cancel pdt rules?
-
Yishai Cohen (@Yishai__Cohen) reportedAfter @DoorDash, @RobinhoodApp is now launching an MCP server to work with agents directly. The fact that they're opening to agents is the tell that the UX/UI moat these consumer platforms built is already eroding, and in a few years it won't be worth much. DoorDash is better positioned than Robinhood thanks to its physical delivery infrastructure. If @IBKR or other cheaper brokers open agent access, Robinhood is in real trouble (execution is a commodity the moment the agent is the user).
-
Katy (@Katy49889108) reported@jzrdan @IBKR You obvhourly signed up for new issue IPO alerts, receiving email notifications is standard....
-
白大白🎀 (@DianaV65176) reported@IBKR Send help!

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?

-

Mellie Mel (@MellieMelvc58) reported@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!!
-
G 💙🧡 (@iamgstv) reported@solana @calilyliu Tokenized. Cool. @IBKR has it too - regulated, insured, no seed phrase (to loose). Liquidity on Nasdaq ≈ no problem
