Vanguard Down As Global Stock Market Crisis Continues

The Vanguard website appears to be down in the U.K. this morning, as stock markets around the world continue to tumble.

The Down Detector website has recorded a spike in Vanguard users reporting problems since around 8am GMT, the start of the working day for European customers. Attempts to log in to the investment platform are met with error messages, such as “Your request for this web page has been blocked" or “Sorry, we can’t find the page you’re looking for or something went wrong”. It’s not clear whether the problems with Vanguard’s website are being caused by an influx of traffic from customers attempting to transfer funds from their investments, but the continued downward slump in global stock markets may well have prompted customers to check on the state of their investments.



There are no status updates on either the Vanguard UK or Vanguard X accounts. This is a breaking news story. More to follow.
