-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@Dilpree28887118 @IBKR A lot of distress and frustration. There's absolutely no reason for them to block my access to my accounts. It's unethical. The affected customers. They must be sued, and an ALERT must be issued to customers to avoid the BAD SERVICE and disrespect of this trap called ibkr.
-
🅰️LB🅰️ (@ALBACapMgmt) reportedIm going to say something nice about @IBKR. After the Kospi futures and options debacle, they promptly recognised that clients may have claims and while I didnt really agree with the protocol for settling them, they settled them promptly with regular status updates. Not the worst.
-
Natalka (@NataliiaKoval) reported@IBKR Fix first your login form and recovery instructions
-
jpemberthy (@jpemberthy) reported@NickSchmidt Don't know about shitcoins. But for securities, there’s no comparison between HOOD and @IBKR on execution quality. I moved everything to IBKR a few years ago and never looked back.
-
HappyHKL (@HappyHkL1) reported@IBKR The system is completely down and we can't trade! The downtime is causing real financial losses. How will IBKR compensate affected users for this outage? Please address this immediately! 🤬😤😤😤😤😤
-
todd morse (@ihottoddy) reported@IBKR Ur total garbage. I switched from schwab and swith back after one day. U dont tell people u have to have 100k to get best margin rate then at 1259. All margins go up to 50% and u sell some of my stocks. Customer service is trash also..u should be shut down
-
@Lionessxxxx (@Lionessxxxx1969) reported@IBKR Another load of bollox posted by google that has **** all to do with my UK timeline or interests. GOOGLE HAS REMOVED MY FACILITY TO REPORT SPAM/SCAM ADS BUT STILL BOMBARDS MY ACCOUNT & TIMELINE WITH **** ADS LIKE THIS. GOOGLE ARE THE BIGGEST SCAMMERS
-
joe (@Yogithebearish) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon Your software is such a pos. It is not sending the notification to my phone for me to login. I cannot access my account. I tried logging in with the QR code and it shows page not found. I need access to my account. You are just the software in the market. Total garbage
-
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.
-
Ashrith Govind (@ashrithgovind) reported@defyneric i think its only because they issue cards to @IBKR clients. But not sure that if those volumes reflect here. but highly possible!
-
RobertoenMexico (@Olde_Pharte) reported@IBKR I'm done with you A.I. I've filed a complaint with the SEC. Maybe that will get your attention.
-
Y. Daniel Cheng (@danielhitome) reported@IBKR you expect people to respond to account messages in message center while banning people from accessing the message center, amazing. How many system issues you receive and ignore every day?
-
David Silva Smith (@DavidSilvaSmith) reported@VinniePetre @IBKR wow! lost a customer because they wouldn't respond!
-
Jesus (@CCrypto1001) reported@ebbe77 @IBKR I was about to withdraw $3464.85 in cash to transfer to my bank, and after waiting a month, they suddenly invented an issue to keep my money for a while. This is a scam.U25159972
-
Wanda Case (@WandaCase9l) reported@zxc68984008 @IBKR Low rates help, but leverage still magnifies mistakes. Read the margin rules, liquidation policy, and cash-rate eligibility before opening an account.
-
Ekapob⚔️ (@ekapob) reported@StateInterOffic @IBKR It's totally unacceptable. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.
-
John Mason (@johnkmason) reportedSidenote, is IBKR TWS crashing for anyone else? Had to switch to IBKR Desktop (which I hate, the font is tiny and you can't change it, fix this @IBKR).
-
Atman (@Hermes10wisdom) reported@IBKR @sumeet06 Waste of time, nobody over there get back to you customer service is dead.
-
Saptarshi Das, CFA (@saptarshi_tweet) reported@IBKR @Paysafe @IBKR do you ever solve issues. Your customer service is -100 out of 10. You haven't been able to solve a critical problem for over 20 days now. Ticket #T877121. Are they sleeping on their beds. The issue has been escalated 4-5 times already. DO YOUR JOB!
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedIBKR has made me lose so much money it's gross. Can't sell covered calls on positions I own? Why? I'm in a margin account with positive SMA etc?!? @IBKR no help from the trade desk and as of yesterday a senior trade desk rep didn't even know your own margin rules.
-
J.J. Jejeebhoy (@jjeebhoy) reportedObscene for @IBKR to go down in the middle of a trading day
-
Brandon (@D3GSolutions) reportedI want to know the qualifications one needs to work at @IBKR because boy when I tell you I feel like I'm talking to Wal mart customer service, these people don't have a clue.
-
ann👾 (@21timestwo) reported@LidoFinance @IBKR hot damn lfg!
-
Sush$ (@Sush1942) reported@IBKR iBKR is down at crucial moments @Nasdaq
-
Mini Trades (@theminitrades) reported@IBKR can you please fix your systems? Gosh it's market open and not being able to login to manage our trades is costing us.
-
MarketMusing (@alamsl) reported@IBKR impossible to get any help when the new passkey doesn’t work. helpline wouldn’t go through unless I submit a ticket online but can’t submit a ticket w/out a passkey. There’s an email submission on the page, submission failed w no explanation. There’s 0 help w lost passkey
-
Huilinnnnn (@jude1law) reported@IBKR plz fix your connection problem, the app crashed during trading time is ridiculous and unacceptable
-
Speculator (@PNW_Swingtrader) reported@NickSchmidt Hey Nick. I've had a good experience with @IBKR . It doesn't seem to crash during extreme volatility like @CharlesSchwab does.
-
Cate (@joewechyy) reported@IBKR @JoseTorresEcon I need help
-
Thomasius (@TH0MA51U5) reported@OverWeightStock @IBKR But the worst customer service!
