I will assume those people giving good reviews about this broker are all scammers or work with them because I don't believe what y'all are saying. I couldn't withdraw my money with this company until I come across.

Top Critical Review

“Customer Service and complete lack of support”

TD Ameritrade customer service is amazingly bad. When trying to do in kind transfer to another Custodian For my IRA, TD Ameritrade liquidated my account without permission or timely notification on there part. When ask why they didn't follow my wishes there reply was silence. Summarizing my experience with them Would "Life is short to put up with a bad brokerage firm" given the other option out there. Run away

While my Robinhood is paying me 5% on my idle funds, TDAmeritrade is paying 0.65%. When you're placing an option order, set your price and then make a change elsewhere on the page, their program automatically changes your limit price to the worst of the bid/ask if you're buying or selling. If you forget to look back up there and change that, you're screwed. I if you have a good till canceled orders, in the market moves overnight, you will get filled at a lousy price. Frequently, when you look at your portfolio page, the prices can be wrong for the entire day. Somethings wrong with their server, never have this problem with the other three brokers I use.

I have used TD AMERITRADE for 10 years now but I do not like how they manipulate the options sometimes making you lose some money. They are and gotten more strict on trading options on Fridays. I think their platform is good to use for options trading but the customer service is horrific. Have to wait several hours at times. Overall 3/5 mostly pro for their platform and overall the hold time to speak to anyone is too long.

I got in ameritrade three or four years ago. There wasn't one freaking person that called me and worked with me on my stocks. They're out for the money and also to $#*! you. Do not invest any kind of money with this company whatsoever. Their customer service sucks. They're investment people suck. Somebody needs to get a lawsuit involved with this company. They are Complete rip offs.

I have looked under everything possible and can not find a simple icon that says DEPOSIT FUNDS. I find TD Ameritrades site so complicated and difficult that I literally dread having to use it. Hey TD keep it simple and enjoyable to use. We're trying to make money not get a degree in web design!

Don't put your money here if you ever need to move it! They NEVER get back to you, dropped calls, wrong info. My mom had a small IRA to divide upon her death. 9 months later it is still sitting with them. Mind you, they continue to take their monthly fees while it sits waiting for them to process...

Tip for consumers:
unethical prolly illegal. Don't do it! Ask for Tonya, you won't hear back!

I waited all week for a perfect entry in the SPY to short. It was getting right at an excellent point of reversal, and the reversals had been big this week. So anyway, I go to buy a bunch of ODTE puts and TD had shut down options. Could not get a quote, could not make a trade. They kept it down all day. The SPY ended up dropping 6 points from where I wanted to enter. They totally burned me. ALL DAY! They kept options down ALL DAY! From Powell's meet-n- greet onward.

Tip for consumers:
Totally ruined my day, week actually.

Horrible almost dishonest maze to navigate-
Horrible maze to navigate- so so people but monster system --They decided i no longer existed and sent my stock worth over $2,000 to the state lost property division. They admitted they did not even send a registered letter to see if I existed.I finally realized it is not worth any income they could offer to put up with them-- it will take weeks to get my money back - but then i will never be back

They recently shorted me on a dividend. I have proof of this, but company too greedy to pay what they owe. You should look elsewhere for an honest stock broker.

I have (will be HAD) been with Ameritrade for over 20 years (before the "TD" was added) and they had been a pretty good organization but the last couple years they have gotten so bad that I had to move both my regular and retirement accounts out to do MANY multiple different stories from their representatives, then they try to hide behind excuses why they disseminated the wrong information or tried to say I misread their responses, only to be called on the carpet for having it happen SEVERAL times, one time costing me a couple thousand dollars in incorrect info. Regarding converting an account. When they were "caught" with the mistakes after trying to deny them, I got a simple "sorry" but we can't make it up to you in any way. What a waste of 24 YEARS! There too many better options out there that will actually TRY to give you correct information in helping you invest

Seems to be a good brokerage. Will stick with them for now, but who knows someone new might show up on the block.

This is so sad. I am a returning customer and I signed up again to give these losers a chance. After many attempts to beg them to have someone from customer support or onboarding call me, no one cares and no one even found the time to call me. I guess they have been "working" from home. Save your time with these people.

My siblings and I are trying to create Beneficiary IRAs so we can receive the funds left in my deceased father's IRA (his IRA is with Ameritrade so we have to first get Ameritrade to create Beneficiary IRAs for us before we can move the funds elsewhere). It should take only 3-5 business days to create the Beneficiary IRAs but Ameritrade is playing games. On 7/18/23 I submitted my application for a Beneficiary IRA. On 7/26/23 I called for an update and was told they were currently working on applications received 7/1/23. On 8/3/23 I again called for an update, and was told they are currently working on applications received 6/30/23. What? They're going backward instead of forward? Something's not right here... but nobody at Ameritrade will give me a straight answer or connect me to someone who can. In the meantime, the funds are locked into Ameritrade (yes, they continue to make money on money that is legally mine while I am losing money by not being able to invest it elsewhere... and there seems to be nothing I can do about it). I feel like I'm in Bernie Madoff land.

Before schwab these guys were class a perfect. The few times I had an issue in 20 years it turned out to be my fault or I was incorrect. That's the kind of folks you want handling your money. 180 degree turn in the last few months. I manage and had approx 10 accts for my immediate family. Custodial accts for kids, Roths for kids, wife and myself iras, and our general brokerage accts. All were linked for years to my main account and boom scwab says new rules and yanked access. For 6 months I've been on the phone with these guys over 6 hours, sent in forms, fax, mail,secure portal multiple times and still can't get access to all. Moving accounts to a competent broker as something strange is going on with these guys.

Tip for consumers:
Avoid

Refused to allow me to trade options, even though money was transferred and was working with experienced traders. Had a LONG process of requiring training courses and sending in W-2's to allow me to trade. Very unsatisfactroy

If they want to offer accounts with no fee to draw in small investors fee structure should match. You can't charge a reorganization fee of $38.00 on a stock total value of pennies or a couple dollars that is excessive and frankly shows they don't care about the customer. Now that they are owned by Schwab their customer service takes twice as long.

I have yet to find a brokerage that I can give five stars to but four stars is pretty good as I would give most other firms 3 or less

I like the setup and the guys are knowledgeable when it comes to asking questions regarding option strategies which is not an easy topic to cover
