What to do if Vanguard is not working
- Never retry a payment or transfer repeatedly. Check your balance and activity in Vanguard first, because pending transactions may already have gone through.
- Banking apps often go down for scheduled maintenance late at night and on weekends. Check Vanguard's website or social accounts for notices.
- Update the Vanguard app. Banks often block old app versions.
- If you can't log in, use the phone number on the back of your card. Never use a number from a search ad or a social media reply.
- Watch for scam messages that claim to be from Vanguard during outages. Vanguard will not ask for your password or one-time codes.
- Turn off VPNs when using Vanguard. Banks often block logins from unfamiliar locations.
Vanguard outage FAQ
Is Vanguard down for everyone, or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page. We connect to investor.vanguard.com directly from our servers, so if our check works but Vanguard doesn't work for you, the problem is more likely your device, network or account. If our check fails, or reports have jumped in the last hour, Vanguard is probably having a wider outage.
Why does this page say Vanguard is up when it isn't working for me?
Our check confirms that investor.vanguard.com is reachable and responding. An outage can still affect only part of Vanguard, such as logging in, the mobile app or a single feature, or only some regions. That's why visitor reports matter: when many people report problems at once, we flag Vanguard as having problems even if the website loads.
How often do you check Vanguard?
We check Vanguard automatically several times a day, and again whenever someone opens this page and our last check is more than a few minutes old.
How do I report a Vanguard outage?
Use "Report a problem" on this page to tell us what isn't working. Reports are anonymous: we don't store your IP address, only a one-way code that stops the same person reporting many times, plus your country.
