IB - cash withdrawal - CHECK? WHERE?

yeah, that's usually the way it goes. You can't imagine how much trouble I had getting my first ACH. I thought I was losing my mind. Now I understand it and it goes just like clockwork.

ib is not really good telling you, "You did something wrong."

the one that messed me up was I was using a "period" after the clients middle initial

I mean, in the account application they ask and you leave off the period,

but then they ask who to send it to, and you include the period after the middle initial, since that is how it appears on the bank account

but the two don't match

so it never works

the people in Greenwich Connecticut are not friendly like those of us in the midwest are

they never send you message like, "I am sorry, but the middle inital in your withdrawal request doesn't match the middle initial in the original account."

I guess, because they automatically assume everybody is on the take and dishonest

Why do people post here before contacting IB customer service?

I don't like people

and should never have to talk to them

that's why I trade with ib
