Steve (@IlhadoSteve) reported@IBKR The worst customer service EVER! I started an application on Thursday 3/19 and I already hate you. Was denied trading permission for futures on a cash account. Nobody can tell me why I was denied or what the requirements to trade futures are.

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 can’t get in touch with a person.

One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported@IBKR Thx for your reply, but this was a week ago. 😬 This was a first technical issue in a long time, so no hard feeling, but would have liked a much swifter response in the app,this took several hours and that is just too long.
-
JT Gert (@the1Gert) reported@senzu_capital @JosephW31117119 @IBKR Same issue, fixed it by going into settings->trading permissions ->edit and then switch permission on for something that wasn't previously selected. Solved it for me right away.

-
Mark Bratt 🔻🔻🔻 (@MarkBratt924939) reported@Prometheus2025 @IBKR I don’t, 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.

Leo GNK (@GnkLeo17852) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Hello, I am having trouble accessing my Interactive Brokers account. I recently deleted the authenticator from my Microsoft Authenticator app, and now I cannot log in because I no longer have access to the security code. Could you please help me recover my account and reset my

DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR Your India customer care and operations are pathetic. For every funds deposit, the customer care asks additional docs for proof of deposit and this is despite following all the guidelines per your process while transferring funds.

One foot hurdle (@one_foothurdle) reported@super509219312 @IBKR It is very annoying. But in all honesty. It is the first time in a very long time that I have experienced a technical problem with @IBKR
-
Tim (@Tim158930786227) reported@Desi_Trade It’s one of those things I thought would never happen to me… just got notified from IBKR that they are shutting down my account. It’s crazy that they @IBKR does this.

super (@super509219312) reported@Alex_Steger_ @IBKR I am on Tasty Schwab Fidelity Hood and IBKR. I mostly trade on Ibkr or tasty or at times Hood. Everyone has their set of problems. But this issue is rather tough one to swallow.

Ganwin (@Ganwin2) reported@SixSigmaCapital @IBKR It works well for me, sometimes has some bugs, kinda annoying but the others are worst
-
DeV (@A_Dev9) reported@IBKR I had to deal with 3 separate customer care executives on 3 different instances and each of them gives conflicting reasons and advice for the delay and additional documentation. The customer care folks who handle the calls are not clear of your own process.
-
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.
-
SMH Trading (@MisticTrader) reportedIf you're tired of spam calls and you don't want to pay for a streaming music service, just call @IBKR and sit on hold. You can stay connected for a long time before they answer and you won't receive any spam calls. win/win.
-
RemGat (@RicardoMGarcia5) reportedBeware that if you run into a problem at @IBKR you may find yourself completely abandoned. I have a claim open for 5 months now for a dividend they did not process, now I have posted a claim for the lack of response, nobody is responding to any of those. Horrible service!
-
Chukwuebuka🇳🇬 (@ChukwuRN) reportedYou can't even open an account with @IBKR because I am a Nigerian. One of the worst feelings I have ever felt this evening. I have no idea why this happened but it is bad. They need to change this policy about Nigeria.

Ruimtepak 🔮 (@_Ruimtepak) reported@EclipticaOS @IBKR Hot damn it only gets more magical

Manjit Singh (@ManjitS_India) reported@IBKR Hi, your menu option IVR language accent is beyond understanding for Indian customer care number. Can you keep it Indian accent??

Jason Appel (@JasonAppel10) reported@IBKR Failure! Broker issue: In the middle of the night, IB (Interactive Brokers) Canceled my entire order book, Including stops that were working overnight on futures positions. I deem this unacceptable for a platform to cancel stop orders and can not remain a customer there with any confidence Does anyone have a good broker/platform recommendation that offers access to everything? Futures, Options, Stocks, in US/Europe/Asian Markets? #LEAVEIBKR
