Ally Invest phone support gave us relevant answers, and the speed of response was average.

Via email, we got relevant answers, but it took a couple of days to receive a reply.

Let's continue with a more detailed description of Ally Invest’s customer service features.

One of the most essential components of a well-functioning customer service is the number of channels through which you can reach out for help. Usually, the more communication platforms there are, the more likely it is that somebody will answer your questions in time.

You can get in touch with Ally Invest in the following ways.

The good news is that Ally Invest’s customer service is available 24/7, therefore you’ll be able to get answers to your questions on short notice.

We define the quality of a broker's customer service based on its response speed (e.g. if they answer the phone within a few minutes, it counts as quick, but if they make you wait a lot, that’s considered a poor response speed) and their response relevance (i.e. whether they provide a clear answer to your questions or an ambiguous one that needs further clarification).
