Morganstanley Opiniones 

Tried to do 2 extremely simple tasks that any client with an online stock plan account in the modern age should be able to do:
1. Easily recover access to their online account
2. Update their mailing address

Guess what? Can't do either with the way Morgan Stanley processes and systems are set up. Chat functionality is non-existent; you're expected to call a US landline which is so impractical for international customers...

Key takings and hopefully this should help other people:
* Expect to spend at least 1 hour on a phone call with up to 5-6 customer service rep changes in between
* Your proof of ID, when asked to upload one using their secure email service, has a validity period of 14 days. If you call them later than the 14 days, they won't process your request and will ask you to upload a copy of the same ID (again) and call them again for verification
* Even when you have access to your online account, you can't do an address change online, so you'll need to call them for getting that updated
* If your online account has been inactive for more than 90 days (i.e. you haven't logged in once during that time) it would be blocked and you'd need to call them to regain access. Their own customer service has advised to log in at least once a month, so set a reminder for that

Waited an hour on hold to speak to a customer service rep to help with a login in issue. The agent who finally joined mumbled and was barely coherent. When I responded to one of her questions, she just hung up. Absolutely shocking service.

No way to send a message directly to firm online. The chat feature is flawed. You must call to speak to a rep, and my experience has been very poor... I got put on hold , transferred and call was disconnected. I did not get called back. I closed my account and was charge a $75 fee... I don't recall ever agreeing to a closure fee. I filed a complaint with FINRA.

Seriously the poorest user experience I've been subjected to. No e-mail or chat communication, only by phone during US business hours. Incomplete information. Unclear digital forms, no data validation. Pure rubbish!

Only Stock Plan where there is not a digital way to contact them (email, chat, web, etc) the only way to reach them is by an international phone number. I would not recomend Morgan Stanley to anyone. Really bad experience.

Morgan Stanley E*TRADE's exorbitant reorganization fee of $1444 over four years. The frustrating aspect is the persistent imposition of a $38 Miscellaneous Transaction fee for seemingly routine actions like organization renaming or share splits. This unwarranted charge is haphazardly labeled as either a Miscellaneous Trade or a reorganization fee, adding confusion to an already fee-laden experience.

The platform's lack of a transparent filtering system exacerbates the problem, making it nearly impossible for users to keep track of these arbitrary fees. Users risk being blindsided by repeated charges, as the platform fails to provide any clarity on the frequency of these transactions. Only through meticulous scrutiny involving downloading and filtering transactions in Excel did it become apparent that users were shackled with a whopping $1444, amounting to $38 charged 38 times, within the four-year timeframe.

In stark contrast, alternative platforms like ALLY Bank offer a refuge from such fee exploitation, promising a more financially sensible and trader-friendly experience. The frustration stemming from Morgan Stanley E*TRADE's fee structure highlights the urgent need for a more transparent and user-friendly trading environment.

Been trying to get my Global Stock account unlocked for 4 days now. Called dozens of times every day and no one picks up the call. Even had a 2 hour call one day and still no one picks up. Wanted to complain but the number for complaints.......is exactly the same number that you originally get no response from. This is the worst possible service as I'm watching my share price go down and can't place a deal.

Morgan Stanley Dallas Preston Plaza office Nicholas group....The most CORUPT FRAUDULENT LIEING COMPANY/OFFICE of all time. MARIA NICHOLAS AND JIM NICHOLAS are what gives the investment world a MIGRAINE. Had thousands LOST BY FRAUD/NEGLIGENCE and CORUPTION by these PARASITES. 2017-2019. This group DESTROYED all my Capital and assets by doing NOTHING for my situation. I tried to come in and INTERCEDE and was basically threatened and told I could do nothing. I continued to inquire and my ASSETS AND ACCOUNTS WERE CLOSED. I then tried legal action but most attorneys told me they were scared of Morgan STEALS from me Stanley. MARIA AND JIM NICHOLAS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND BANNED FROM ALL BROKER BUSINESS! This group should be investigated for securities fraud and compromising clients accounts by theft and fraud. The Branch managers Jon Harsch and Sunny k. Patel should be investigated for these accusations as well. The SEC DOES NOTHING DUE TO I FEEL BEING BRIBED BY MORGAN STANLEY AND ITS PARASITES. I hope all of you when deciding about your $$$ stay clear of this FRAUDULENT COMPANY and the NICHOLAS GROUP.

Trying to cash in my stocks I have from my previous employer - no one will answer the phone.
Absolutely unbelievable, I’ve waited for over 1 hour but no answer. Been trying for 3 days now - nothing.
I’ve also emailed - nothing
Tried 3 different numbers but ultimately all end up in the same queue.

Have a stock awared from a previous employer with them. Send confusing letters demanding immediate action with no way of contacting them other than an US call center which they don't answer. Seriously considering abandoning the stock.

They made the path to access my account arduous when I voiced concerns about discrepancies in my assets. The misstep was venturing into their private equity secondaries. For those verging on the decision to get on, consider a different path with “Assurity Secure” In just a few weeks, I’ve gathered a great fortune since joining them.

They are very slow in processing everything. I couldn't get one time password so I had to call them wait for 4 days to get it verified. It's the worst experience.

Morgan Stanley does not provide competent customer service. I tried to have a very small amount of money ($100) in a closed out custodial account returned to my 25-yr old son and they were not able to help. They said they had to speak to him directly. They would not issue a check in his name and send it to him. What a pathetic operation.

MS can go to hell.

It is impossible to find local contact in Denmark and there is no email to mail them and get contacts.

When writing Solium support I get NO answer, and I have mailed several times over the last month.

Stay away from them please !!! Hidden fees, poor communication, misleading information. I regret every bought share with them.

When MS took over Etrade it froze one IRA Account have. Two weeks and seven calls and still frozen. Etrade was very helpful in the past. MS is not at all. When (if) unfrozenI will move all of my accounts.

I gave them half of my 401 , they converted it to an IRA, I was having medical payments for my elderly mother and wanted it to have cash available. They invested my money it never won, just lost value. in 6 months it lost $9,000 I already close my account with them,. I believe they invest in companies that pay them to invest with them, Do not do business with them

I am trying to get stocks allocated to my husband by Amazon, who unfortunately passed away due to Covid. After submitting all required documents almost a year ago I am still waiting for the funds (stocks)
They are not even bothered to respond on timelines. I will not recommend anyone to invest with them.

The Difference between a successful company and an Average one is Good work,
Asset P was the difference, swift feedback & easy payout

Morgan Stanley is blocking my access to the shares I received while working for a U.S. company. Their practice is discriminative against Europeans, as I am being asked to fill and send back a W-8BEN form via MAIL / FAX to Ohio – is this the 21st century? They claim this can theoretically be done electronically, but provide no solutions to do so.

Their practice is highly illegal, especially since in the meantime, I cannot access my account to see my savings, and there is no chat/help provided apart from a phone number that is not available.
