Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@IBKR A platform upgrade is only meaningful if order routing, outage history, and total trading costs improve alongside the interface.
-
z1xus (@z1xus) reported@IBKR during the registration you can pick a password that is longer than 40 characters. that breaks the login in the mobile app (probably truncated client-side) until you change your password to one that is less than 40 characters. please forward to your portal engineering team or whoever that can investigate
-
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
-
invoker🎮 (@AnhDaDen811) reported@IBKR But what about those who've had bad experiences with them?
-
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
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIf a broker, @IBKR in this case, say you can only reduce risk (due to Kospi issues apparently, more likely they have run out of margin), but in actual fact they wont let you trade a product you have a position in at all, are they liable for any ensuing losses ?
-
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?
-
Long & Right (@Ramblin_Rebel13) reported@FredrikEJohans2 @IBKR @CFTC It eventually got corrected after several hours, had to test it every 15min. But never got a notification on why it happened or when it was supposed to be resolved. Submitted a complaint to the CFTC regardless, super unprofessional reckless
-
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.
-
habibi (@habibi_zzyy) reported@ekapob @IBKR yes。down
-
Lili Fee (@booklilifee) reported@MazFuryCabbage @IBKR You have to go to settings and get permission to trade US stocks and make fx transactions. I opened a USD account as well. You need to use the help function, it's a complex platform.
-
Yousif Ashknani (@AshknKW) reported@yao_yao520 @IBKR Very stupid having maintenance at this time. Maybe trying to screw ppl idk anything in 2026 is possible.
-
Wealth Generator (@Wealth_G3n) reported@CapitalChr92373 @Therichardralph @IBKR Though some financial institutions will only allow a customer to open one account with them. While other FIs will let you open more than one
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@zxc68984008 @IBKR Trust is less about slogans than execution: custody, disclosures, uptime, and how problems are handled when markets are stressed.
-
The PATRIOT 🎭 (@joventapollo) reported@IBKR @Paysafe We having a terrible experience in Africa. Pliz make funding easier for us, current methods are so expensive and chaotic

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?
-
Ross (@F1ashmanR) reported@Therichardralph @IBKR Do they have a cash isa you can easily transfer between? Same issue as you with trading 212, fees are high on the fx if scalp trading, Anything small cap is slow and generally poor execution price in comparison to my IG trading account
-
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.
-
thewalkingimmortal (@tyeatfood) reported@TT_stocks_ @D3GSolutions @IBKR Schwab isnt bad. but they dont really let the digital penny stocks too much.
-
Randy888 (@randy8silver) reported@IBKR @Paysafe my account is locked out, tried calling and it hangs up, tried email and fails, tried to create a support ticket but you have to login to create one, need help, worst support ever.
