Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheStoicTrader2 The Stoic Trader (@TheStoicTrader2) reported

    Is anyone else having trouble logging into @IBKR?

  • KellyWylde Kelly Wylde (@KellyWylde) reported

    I remember a time when @IBKR had great customer service: quick connection with a rep, low wait times to chat... It's been 30 minutes and I'm still waiting to connect to someone. Considering a brokerage change...

  • KingDaveyTO David King (@KingDaveyTO) reported

    @IBKR ASX warrant expiry dates changed from Jun 2022 to Oct 29, 2022. The only problem is that you did not update the warrant details, and you also let us know Nov 4 which is 5 days after the expiry. How do we launch a formal complaint?

  • MarekZee Marek Zee (@MarekZee) reported

    @jsizzle_0 @LivinRentFree_ @IBKR It's not bad if you just buy and hold. I sometimes do many trades in a single day and their UI is very clumsy comparing to TD. I actually may hold the Fidelity account and make it into a long-term hold account... Or convert it into an IRA account.

  • ney123456789 Ney Torres H (@ney123456789) reported

    @EvanBleker @IBKR I can access the trading platform on the desktop. however I can access the account online. Asks me for a LEI number and will give me an error if I try to get it or if I don't... Id called 20 times... they are always saying "ahh we see the problem, let me push it up"

  • LastBTCstndn Ray (@LastBTCstndn) reported

    Interactive Brokers commercial: "Payment for order flow is a scam, is unethical, and it rips people off. If you're OK with it tho, we will gladly offer that service to you" @IBKR @CNBC

  • AdamJac37754276 Adam Jackson (@AdamJac37754276) reported

    @IBKR What is wrong with your platform??? So many pink stocks and your restricting trading on them??!! $GRSO $DGTW Fix this please.

  • bierh0ff Chrismar246 (@bierh0ff) reported

    @IBKR Do you plan to offer this service for international investors?

  • araujonrenan Renan Araújo (@araujonrenan) reported

    Is @IBKR's customer service always terrible or is it just with me? I'm trying to report an issue and, besides it being impossible to talk to a human, it always reports an "error" when I try to submit an inquiry. Awful experience.

  • Xprsn_Warrntd Invest in You (@Xprsn_Warrntd) reported

    @IBKR The are Crooks they have disabled my account due to their It department glitch so some customers without any prior warning now i cannot trade for whole day and have to wait and lose money on my option/stock which i would otherwise close even after escalation Ticket no 886223.

  • VanessaSelbst Vanessa Selbst 🏳️‍🌈 (@VanessaSelbst) reported

    @IBKR been trying for many many weeks now to get you to change my state of residence. I moved months ago. Your customer service for retail is atrocious. It’s a simple fix and I can’t trade products I need or get the right tax info without the change. Please respond!!!

  • searthur2200 Stephen arthur (@searthur2200) reported

    @IBKR I will be closing my account with your company. I will not support any place that promotes and participate in ESG . When you decide to stop promoting esg I will decide to maybe reopen an account with you guys

  • 60seconds16 60seconds (@60seconds16) reported

    @IBKR Hey @IBKR Are you having issues with Trader Workstation????? I cannot get any of the charts to display - specifically cannot display 5-sec bars. It says "Invalid time length". Been on hold forever so hanging up and expecting a response on this! Thanks.

  • bluinitro Bluinitro (@bluinitro) reported

    @IBKR Please start accepting e-transfers. Your transfers are still terribly slow, even with bill payments. The faster you do it, the better for not only subs, but potential new customers. Patiently waiting before I switch to @Questrade who just enabled this feature

  • AlmostDunWaitin FS Investing (@AlmostDunWaitin) reported

    @IBKR How on earth did you get rated best online broker..... Worst experience ever this past 24 hrs with your company.

  • Fat_Cat_Bitcoin fat-cat-bitcoin (@Fat_Cat_Bitcoin) reported

    @IBKR Hi good day. I created an account at IB and it was approved. When I wanted to transfer funds I could not enter more. I get a caption that says: "Your application has been deleted". Please help me, nobody answers my emails. Account U5746783.

    I haven't been able to access one of my accounts since March in @IBKR due to a bug they have. I'd call 20 times... always the same procedure, nothing changes. What can I do people? Sue? complain to some governmental entity? Any help would be really appreciated it

  • DR_Dividends Inversionista Millenial (@DR_Dividends) reported
