I used IBKR for a while and it felt extremely secure and reliable. The spreads were good, and executions were fast. The only downside is the platform being a bit complex at first. Withdrawals worked fine, just not the simplest process.
I completely agree with you the platform feels complicated. Withdrawals aren’t the simplest
I needed help urgently — but customer service took forever. I waited 40+ minutes on hold and still got no clear resolution. For such a big broker, that’s unacceptable
