EliteTrading (@EliteGainzTrade) reported@TT_stocks_ Right on! Looking to switch from @IBKR to @WebullGlobal How are you finding the change. IBKR is terrible these days.
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reported@Reetard_ @IBKR Their mobile app. It's just clunky and slow and lags.
-
covertsah (@coversah) reportedI have never had a such a bad experience setting up a new brokage account @IBKR I fund it I choose the light plan but they give them the Pro plan that include commissions. So all my test trades pulled commissions today. I tried to enable trading for leveraged etfs they denied me won't say why, so i get to wait another 30 days to try again. Man if i had any other choice i would just withdraw the money move on but i don't.
-
Shraey (@iamshraey_) reported@IBKR trying to open an account, but the only ID option shown for an Australian resident is 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?
-
Limpidish (@Imz_isNoGood) reported@IBKR the worst investment platform I’ve ever dealt with! Random rules that forcibly convert currencies, AI shoved down my throat even when I clearly said it was not helping and I needed someone to look into my issue! So yeah, taking my business somewhere else.

Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I would not recommend using this brokerage service as they seem to completely ignore any customer service. No human answers their telephone customer service line.

Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!

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.
