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.

Piyush Parmar (@learner_air) reported@IBKR Worst service
-
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.

Yousif Ashknani (@AshknKW) reported@yao_yao520 @IBKR Very stupid having maintenance at this time. Maybe trying to screw ppl idk anything in 2026 is possible.
-
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'.
-
Wealth Generator (@Wealth_G3n) reported@CapitalChr92373 @Therichardralph @IBKR Though some financial institutions will only allow a customer to open one account with them. While other FIs will let you open more than one
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@zxc68984008 @IBKR Low rates help, but leverage still magnifies mistakes. Read the margin rules, liquidation policy, and cash-rate eligibility before opening an account.
-
Lili Fee (@booklilifee) reported@MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.
-
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 😡
-
Jiri Vatka (@NSonic101) reported@IBKR where s your human support or at least support e-mail address in the app or web????????!!
-
Fyke Peony (@FykePeony) reported@IBKR 2/2, bc that needs SMS too. So I can't login, write a help ticket, fund my account bc of wrong SMS ( that's strange, bc I have updated my profile regularly. Try phoning, they say. Get a live agent. After a really long hold time I did get an agent but he could not 3/3
-
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.

Hiral Shah (@HiralllShah) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR Robinhood? I find it stupid you cannot have more than 1 stocks and shares isa account with providers
-
Pupu Chen (@PupuChen4) reported@IBKR I’ve been a customer for 10 years. I’m quitting it n moving my pot over to another broker. Customer service sucks, they move your funds without your consent and are not forthcoming with the reasons for doing so
-
Baron Von Garray (@BaronVonGarray) reported@IBKR placing surveys within the trading application that interfere, even for 5 seconds, with my ability to conduct business, is a sure fire way to royally piss off a customer. These surveys are out of control.
-
PSaif (@PedSaif) reported@optionsbbq @tastytrade @IBKR For options, Ibkr mobile app is much better than the desktop options they offer imo, but the desktop apps may have improved in recent iterations (they were way too slow and clunky before)
-
Natalka (@NataliiaKoval) reported@IBKR Phone support in 2026? I’m constantly traveling and changing phone numbers to the country I’m visiting. I don’t have a permanent phone number. That’s why I can’t login as you blocked the possibility to change phone numbers.
-
andrew brett (@AndyJB4676) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR I’ve tried three times to create an account and log in with IBKR and have only ever got an ‘unknown error’. Not had that problem with T212 or other apps
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.
-

-
MisterX2025 (@billYT2025) reported@IBKR In blue states. If you don't have wealth, then you can't fix medical problems with your health.
-
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.
-
Rob Gray (@robmgray76) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR The FX fees are higher than T212 and the interest paid on cash is less but it works well. I pay £5.99 per month to bring the FX fees down a bit.
-
GomathiNayagam (@GomesNayagam) reported@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.
