Interactive Brokers Customer Service Issues

I am a teacher in Saudi Arabia currently planning to visit my mother in Connecticut. I am a U.S. citizen without a U.S. bank account or credit card. I am interested in opening an account with Interactive Brokers to manage funds from Saudi Arabia, as my country usually doesn't allow wire transfers to U.S. brokerage accounts due to Islamic laws. I am curious if Interactive Brokers permits direct wire transfers from Saudi Arabian banks to personal checking accounts and if there are fees or minimum balances for this. Alternatively, I might consider a Capital One Bank account in Connecticut, wondering if I can send checks from Saudi Arabia to Interactive Brokers and if a wire transfer is possible from Capital One Bank to Interactive Brokers while in Saudi Arabia. I appreciate your guidance in this matter as I aim to open a brokerage account with Interactive Brokers. Thank you. - JL

Hello, I'm Omar. I'm having an issue with transferring funds. On March 10th, I applied to open an account with Interactive Brokers and deposited $[redacted]. However, they declined my application and assured me of a refund within 3-5 days. It has been 10 days now, and the money hasn't been returned to my 'Wise' account. Please assist me in resolving this transfer problem. You can reach me via phone at +7[redacted] or email me at [redacted] Thank you.

I have a pending application with IBKR to open an account. Upon receiving a deposit confirmation on June 7th, I immediately funded the account. The confirmation mentioned a USD XXXX deposit for IBKR account UXXXX2146. However, when trying to access the account as instructed, I received a message stating the account has been deleted. I am eager to proceed with opening the account and start trading. If that is not possible, I would like the funds returned promptly. The ID I provided was my passport with the number P[redacted]8. Please keep me informed of any updates. You can reach me at +63[redacted].

I've been attempting for hours to transfer stock from EQ to my Interactive Brokers account without success. The automated system is unhelpful as it leads to a loop. Uploading my EQ account statement to IBKR is proving to be a challenge. The Notifications section doesn't offer any assistance. I would appreciate human assistance with this issue or canceling my IBKR account. Confusing and ineffective electronic instructions have made this experience frustrating. Please advise on how to proceed. Thank you.
