Martijn (@Martijn251000) reported@IBKR Interactive Broker Internatioal Netherland Terror enters Righs Allmight Creat Twistpoints Falltrapps Evil Broken Rules outig Kindness Evil Repayment
-
Mark Meyer (@MarkMeyerBuilds) reportedI deposited 5k into @IBKR to test out my trading bot being they have API available.. I have already withdrew the money back out for two reasons. One, the gateway portal seems to have been created in 1998. Awful UI. Second, and the most pertinent was the death by auth codes.

Matt (@MattMattvbip) reported@yao_yao520 @IBKR same ， wtf for ibkr
-
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).

MisterX2025 (@billYT2025) reported@IBKR In blue states. If you don't have wealth, then you can't fix medical problems with your health.

Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@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?
-
Varun Takkar (@varuntakkar01) reportedI will not be surprised if @RobinhoodApp @Wealthsimple @IBKR and a bunch of other brokerages crash down tomorrow at the launch of $SPCX IPO $HOOD $TSLA $SPCX
-
Javi Cg (@CJ02023589) reported@IBKR "‘Not urgency" must be your customer service mantra. It takes months just to handle a simple complaint.
-
yd (@kyingda) reported@IBKR what are you going to do about my account that still has money inside but able to sign in or reset, stupid thing is, I need to sign in to submit a ticket. Phone support not useful, they say unable to find my account. I have screenshots of me transferring money in the account
-
cry diamond (@pear40853456) reported@yao_yao520 @IBKR same problem
-
Ramy Gerges (@ramyggerges) reported@IBKR has great features but customer support is abysmal!
-
Charu (@charultd) reported$GOOGL down though right now I wanna short @IBKR considering the crappy service & app
-
WhiskeyAndIce (@OptionsWolf77) reported@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.
-
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.

Hits London (@HitsLondon) reported@cashflow_king94 @Trading212 @IBKR Only issue with IKBR is they won't accept partial ISA trsnsfers in. Has to be the full portfolio for any given year.
-
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!!
-
ndao poenya (@ndaopoenya_) reported@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.
-
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.
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR It is truly the worst. A total pos.
-
***** Not CISSP® 🔹 (@0x7fff9) reported@IBKR dam son, I read "Interactive Bonkers" and wanted to ask if you wanted help on cyberz.. but now I realize is "brokers" and feels pep_sad.
-
MillenniumKnight Inc (@MKINC) reported@IBKR Your status page is showing no issues, but for the last 2 hours I haven't been able to access my paper trading account. "NAV Calculation currently unavailable". What's up?
-
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!
-
Driving the Future (@driving_tf) reported@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
-
Drago (@Dragonito007) reported@AshknKW @IBKR Bro I sold a lot of things 15 minutes before the crash I would go crazy now if I didn't.
-
Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported@vijucat @IBKR Bro I even have a "private" number for bespoke service. I call it, and then he calls the ******* real number which reaches a ******* call center in India... I'm ******* ded.
-
Martin BC (@MARTINPARK111) reported@IBKR Exactly. A clever model inside a broken process is still a broken process.
-
BorrisBOMBA (@thecracker_23) reported@IBKR Hi @IBKR why is it so difficult to reach out to your customer support?
-
Joe Wyer (@joe365ppm) reported@IBKR Really need to work on the UI and also if the website is going to be so complicated you need to make accessing live support much less difficult
-
Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@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?
