-
Ringiana (@Ringiana) reported@ThinkFinance999 @the_white_tig3r @IBKR Similar problem in the US, not just Europe. Must be SK's rules for foreigners holding KRW in brokerage accounts. LLM explained one solution to me.
-
ORDER FILLED (@Opus_Trad3r) reported@marketswithmags @TradingLucid Why Prop firms make it so hard for people to cash out money they earned? @IBKR doesnโt need you to cool down.
-
pastaman๐ฆ (@_pastaman) reported@IBKR Hey I deposit funds from bank to IBKR without a deposit notice. Can't open a ticket or access live chat since your website is down...
-
DWmontgomery (@DWpaMont) reported@IBKR bad product
-
๐ข๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฏ๐๐ข๐ข (@iB3Bestpony1985) reported@IBKR if you think I'm going to shut up. If you ignore me you've got a whole different problem. I will not back down or shut up until some responses found and a resolve of this issue is met
-
Ponzi Trader (@buyerofponzi) reportedThe level of incompetence at @IBKR is impressive. 8 days I've had my account locked with a position open costing me thousands of dollars. Everyday I'm on the phone with them for hours being passed to the next department @IBKR you guys suck so bad
-
ใขใตใใผ (@krell_sophia) reported@IBKR damn, mine's stuck at 1.2%... time to switch?
-
Michael (@mjy220) reported@IBKR your service model is broken. I opened an account, got an account number, initiated funding it, and missed an email that the passport was grainy, was subsequently rejected and now canโt get in touch with a person.
-
EV Bike Dude๐ช๐บ๐ฎ๐ช ๐ธ๐ฐ๐โ๏ธโก๐ค๐พ (@eu_bike) reported@STACKDOE @IBKR When did you last use it and what's your specific issue? It's way better than e.g. Revolut. My only issue is it can be slow at times, especially with updating totals but is quite flexible. Alerts need work for sure.
-
Invest (@Invest469752) reported@IBKR Can I have your mail ? I tried to find it but canโt access any mail or client service on your website as soon as you canceled my application @IBKR Please could you answer
-
Geodes R Rocks (@GeodesRock49) reported@IBKR @bclund Login to IBK - nothing but problems when using Portal for the Lap Top. Requires ID, Password, then an SMS Code (which always worked_ but now takes you to a page that requires scanning a QR Code on your phone using the phone APP. Nothing but HELL. Missed trades, timed put while trying to update information, and on and on. Tried talking to HELP but could not even understand the individual claiming to speak English (no offence to the person). If you cannot communicate, then what is the purpose of HELP? So now logging in through PORTAL requires both the lap top and a cell phone APP to use the lap top. RE: Response fromย IBCSย atย 24-Jul-2025 Dear Mr. ______, This is a follow up to our conversation from earlier today. Your request has been approved and your account can continue to use SMS text as the two factor authentication method. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Kind regards, Michael M IBKR Client Services ****The result was it never worked, still doesn't, and have to use TWO pieces of hardware and two different software. Once I get to sell out of the shares I have through IBK I am gone!!

NottsStargazer ๐ด๐๐ (@Nottsstargazer) reported@IBKR support is AI slop nonsense. Nobody responds sensibly. Utter garbage.
-
Cotednq (@Dougcotefx) reported@dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Deleting tweets after a photo shop error is definitely not a red flag at all. Totally definitely legit.
-
Pps831 (@Pps831) reported@joemccann @IBKR IBKR has pretty bad data imo. Even in their api they mention that it should not be relied upon or something like that.
-
DevilsFootnote (@devilsfootnote) reported@bclund @IBKR that's your fault.... STUPID!!!
-
Vikas kumar (@Vikasro50357845) reported@IBKR Very Bad service no responce ๐ก
-
S Sanzhi Kobzhanov (@Sanji_vals) reported@IBKR amazing trade terminal and fundamentals explorer! loving IB TWS, but if you lose you phone, the only way to restore your access to your account is to call them via phone and verify. no other options. customer support chat is only available for someone who logged in but you can't do that if your phone is stolen. they could have verified clients via google meet or Skype, but no, you have to call directly.

Ruimtepak ๐ฎ (@_Ruimtepak) reported@EclipticaOS @IBKR Hot damn it only gets more magical
-
Sam ๐จ๐ฆ (@CanadasFukd) reported@IBKR $10.25 Commission for 10 call options. $10 per 1000 shares of ETF's WTF?
-
Mark Bratt ๐ป๐ป๐ป (@MarkBratt924939) reported@Prometheus2025 @IBKR I donโt, but if I were a ****** capitalist I would own physical goods such as property, precious metal, guns, non taxable physical coin collection. Paper is coming to an end and US Tbonds are going down to CIPS and destruction of the petrodollar.
-
Manny (@theverysmartone) reported@dontbsalti @IBKR @whop Whop is the worst platform ever, they truly don't care about the customers at all, they are all about the commissions they get from the course sellers.
-
Thryxie (@Thryxie_) reported@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR I had issues with delays aswell. Took about a week for funds to arrive
-
Ethan Hartwell (@EthanTrades13) reported@IBKR I have been waiting for a reply from support for 10 days on an issue iโm experiencing with my new accountโฆ.
-
Vikas kumar (@Vikasro50357845) reportedDear Interactive Brokers, Iโm an Indian investor facing issues with funding my account. Support is not responding properly. Please help urgently. @IBKR
-
๐ธ๐๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ (@AlgoSnafu) reportedIs anyone else experiencing an issue in IBKR TWS where alert lines stop appearing on charts, even though the alerts are still active in the alerts window? Iโve been dealing with this issue for years now ... ๐ข @IBKR
-
Arno (@arnoblits) reported@CharlesSchwab @IBKR Today during the extreme volume spikes, the Java client completely locked up, preventing me from broadcasting closing orders to the exchange via AT. Iโd appreciate a full forensic audit comparing my client-side input request timestamps against your server-side receipt logs.
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR The problem is that when I call to get help, I get five minutes of yadda yadda and then it tells me to login online and hangs up. You have effectively cut off all means of contact to get help.
-
Ethics (@ethics3606) reportedI have 500 bucks left in my @IBKR account that I can't be arsed to remove, and yet I can't even buy anything with it due to their rediculus minimum buy constraints. Worst ******* tradfi platform on the planet. The UX needs a complete rewrite.

MilesHighClub (@mileshighclubb) reported@cobie @buyerofponzi @IBKR brother is so bored he yearns for customer service. hey man I'm missing like 10k from my cb account.
