RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR Thanks but this doesn't and won't work. I don't have my account info so when I call, it rejects me. Why is there no way to fix this I have money in my account but I can't access it
-
PhenixInvesting (@PhenixInvesting) reported@YYF171ttk @IBKR After couple hours we were able to get some orders filled then the system shutdown again for several hours This time it’s insane 30 hours in and no ETA time on fix
-
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 😡
-
安然体验用VPN软件 (@Mah49628433) reported@IBKR MCP support could make account workflows smoother.
-
Luna Trades (@totheluna21) reported@IBKR Technical issues around SanDisk earning times yesterday was a bit suspicious? I have friends lost money as they couldn't close positions you will have a log of this as they called in too to have you market close their positions
-
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).

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.

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!
-
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?
-
Charu (@charultd) reported$GOOGL down though right now I wanna short @IBKR considering the crappy service & app
-
Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR you customer service is useless, not once did they mention how failed transfer attempts cost £££ each time. your website ui is awful. Attempted transfer failed twice now and you have taken all most of my £100 is fees… you need to make it clear for new users.

Jiri Vatka (@NSonic101) reported@IBKR where s your human support or at least support e-mail address in the app or web????????!!
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR do you ever solve problems. When faced with a question your customer service reps just leave the chat room. Your tech does not work (docusign process, image upload on chat etc.) And your reps have no intention to solve anything.

Nate (@nathan96911) reported@IBKR I have spent the week trying to get thru to a person to talk to about my account. Your automated phone service hangs up when you select speak to agent. It tells you to log in but it does not log in. And tells you contact customer service for login assistance.

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.
