Terrible broker Terrible broker, I have $27000 in my account, it's NOT allowing me to purchase stocks, available funds in my account and I cant buy. Do yourself a favour, search for something better. Customer service = non-existent Search for reviews online, you will know what I'm saying.

Helpful tech team After reading reviews of this trading platform I was reluctant to open an account with them but glad I did. The account set up was both straight forward and simple, Daniel from the tech help guided me through the funding process after I'd initially had trouble which was down to my fault. Can't understand how some are having problems with the mobile app as I've not encountered any so far in 2 months of daily use.

DO NOT USE ,USELESS AND WASTE OF TIME. This company makes investing the HARDEST thing ,Zero customer service contact, Useless systems for managing people's money ,I have just closed my ACCOUNT I hope my refund gets to me before the WORLD ENDS.STAY AWAY FROM THIS BROKER.

Vintage Broker With a Once Great History Broker with a great history facing fierce competition in peculiar ways. Commissions are average to expensive, given a vast movement of retail brokers that offer low cost trading these days. That is OK though if you like their Trader Work Station TWS, a powerful piece of software that is as easy to handle as flying a Jumbo Jet. It can get you to a lot of places if you know what you are doing. IBKR is still a decent broker if you are a professional or semi professional trader with a good volume of daily trades. If you are, you probably have no need to read this review. If you are retail and if you are considering to trade volumes below 1 Mio $ a year, the following might concern you. I am slightly below that margin with IBKR, so the following comes from personal experience. According to IBKR customer service, regulators do not allow IBKR to display delayed market data for free anymore. I am not talking about top secret stuff. I am talking about charts of stocks that that can be seen pretty much anywhere for free. With IBKR you need to either pay extra for looking at charts of your own investments or keep trading in high volumes. This is new. In the past you were able to see charts of your stocks just like with every other broker. When I asked IBKR about this change, they answered that turning off free charts for clients was due to "regulatory guidance" and in "compliance with FINRA's policy." This is my second effort to review IBKR. The first one was deleted through Interactive Brokers, claiming my review was colliding with the rules of Trustpilot. If it was, it might have been because I was speculating why IBKR was imposed such harsh restrictions by regulators after their transfer from the UK to Luxembourg. I actually felt sorry for a company that I thought did well in the past. After all, restrictions like this may bring a company in a disadvantageous position relative to its competitors. This time I am not speculating and I am not giving you my subjective impression. Instead I let speak facts for themselves. Here is what they say: "IBKR is no longer able to offer delayed quotes for major stock exchanges such as NYSE and NASDAQ." Of course customers are still able to see charts of their investments. They need to subscribe market data through something called Market Data Assistant, a rather complicated toolbox for something that is on open display at any other shopping window down Broker Alley. To find the right key for this magic box, you need to first subscribe a "US Securities Snapshot and Futures Value Bundle" for 10 USD per month that is waived for months with commissions exceeding 30$. Once you have subscribed this bundle, you may subscribe additional bundles that give you a chance to see your investments in classic chart view. Sounds complicated? Go on and read what they have to say: "In order to know what market data you are required to subscribe, you can use the market data assistant tool for the same. You need to enter the Region, Exchange name and Symbol. Once entered the tool will give you list of market data to be subscribed."

So far so good Took 2 days to have the account set up which is quite slow compared to those instant-trading CFD brokers. Deposit is only via bank transfer which is a bit dated in this day and age. On the plus side, they allow me to trade virtually any stock unlike eToro. Since they are real executors they also don't pull the plug when you are making money unlike Robinhood! Customer service is responsive and top notch. 5 Stars from me
