    @CasinoCapital @IGClientHelp @Trading212 Only issue I have is some tiny float stocks in the UK are really difficult to execute on T212 compared to IG - i.e. I have put a limit buy for the same price on both platforms, IG executed a lot quicker than T212. Maybe the lesson is to avoid illiquid garbage stock

    @conradcarter66 @IGcom They don't appear to be content with irritating customers by degrading the share trading service apparently even providing a service is currently a struggle :/ - perhaps they also have management issues that're now affecting operations as well.

    @IGcom @PiQMarkets This is not true. Quantum computing solves very specific problems, it will not compete with gpu’s

    AnnRaj (@anandhichetlur) reported

    @IGcom @IGSquawk IG is not handling my isa transfer in request well. AI based help centre or WhatsApp doesn’t help. On the phone for 15 minutes to hear the same message. Very disappointing service. can you help please

    @IGcom anyone can login?

  • emeka89
    Emeka N (@emeka89) reported

    @IGcom I’ve been on hold for almost 2 hours. Is your customer service phone line open today or not? On google it says 24/7 today, on the app it says it is outside normal working hours Please clarify

    @IGcom Good podcast. It would be even better if you got mirror advice. 2 Terrible mirrors in the background.

  • Alec_Lo
    Alec Lo (@Alec_Lo) reported

    @IGcom This is unacceptable. Been over an hour since login errors, no communication. How can I trust your platform anymore?

  • GODOFFI
    GOD OF NOTHING (@GODOFFI) reported

    @Woodywudpeck @IGcom They are pure rubbish!! I stopped using them in 2023. They couldn't even issue a simple P&L statement 🙈 despite explaining then how to do it leave alone leave alone platform working smoothly 😬

  • VolaViking
    The Volatility Viking (@VolaViking) reported

    @DickyVenter @The_Huntsman23 @IGcom Same issue; doesn't look like a hack though either, don't spread information like that

  • avinashkaware01
    AK (@avinashkaware01) reported

    @IGClientHelp Extreme platform outage today. I was locked out of my account from 14:30 to 16:30 despite repeated login attempts. This system failure directly prevented me from closing my Daily US Tech 100 Call at DH152.1£, resulting in a great loss. IG should compensate for that.

  • JMHDeakin
    Joel Deakin (@JMHDeakin) reported

    Oh dear @IGcom appears to be down 😑

  • CasinoCapital
    Casino Capital (@CasinoCapital) reported

    Thinking of moving my SIPP & share a/c's from IG @IGClientHelp to @Trading212 Anyone have a bad thing to say about 212? Or other brokers I should consider? What I REALLY want: Low FX fees Can hold multi-currency Tax return forms every year Options in SIPP (sadly no one offers)

  • dv8or1
    DV8OR (@dv8or1) reported

    @IGcom what has happened to your customer service?? I have been trying to connect with someone via WhatsApp, phone and email and haven’t got a response…!!! This is becoming unacceptable and is enough to make me reconsider my account.

  • gskandola79

    @IGcom Sort this problem out now what are you playing at😡

  • stuppytrader
    STUPPYTRADER (@stuppytrader) reported

    @IGClientHelp I’ve been trying since 6 Aug to get answers on MT5 position limits and split-order pricing. I was referred to Customer Experience, but have had no substantive response; today’s WhatsApp query has sat unread since 07:25. Can someone please pick this up?

    @LBC @IGClientHelp App has recovered but customer services is awful

  • Aimlesstrader1
    Aimless (@Aimlesstrader1) reported

    @IGcom @IGcom your site is down just before US open, your customer service channels are useless and you haven't even publicly acknowledged it's down. Come on, at least let your clients know what is going on

  • Woodywudpeck
    gin&pinklemonade (@Woodywudpeck) reported

    @Blowster85 @Butterheart886 One issue is @IGcom stopping trading in it in June ..might havexan impact if forced sellers..I've yet to find a broker I can transfer to

  • network_surrey
    Dougparkspropertynest (@network_surrey) reported

    @IGcom is there ANYONE answering your phones or Whatsapp help messages ??!!!… not able to log in to my account via mobile or laptop and am finding it impossible to speak to anyone !!!… now been on hold for 9 minutes !

  • its_fundamental
    fundamentally its a bargain (@its_fundamental) reported

    @IGcom @Therichardralph @IBKR Says the company whose platform is down at a crucial time of day as market opens in US. I would suggest looking at ii - they are a quality operation unlike IG. IG will just disappoint.

  • noah_phd
    Noah Silverman, PhD (@noah_phd) reported

    @IGClientHelp Your AI Bot chat is worthless, and consistently gives incorrect information. Some of your API documentation is out-of-date, and it seems impossible to speak to an actual human on a phone call. How are we supposed to get any support?
