Avoid this company like the plague! Its unlikely the Taliban tortures people the way their customer service does. They do not have an email address or physical locations. They request physical mail and fax in the year of our Lord 2025 only to NEVER PROCESS THE DOCUMENTS. They make every interaction extremely difficult for no reason and their employees are clearly very poorly trained. I wouldnt put my money with Vanguard if it was the only brokerage company in the world. Save yourself and switch to Fidelity.

First, I was a personal investor for over 20 years and was happy with Vanguard. Then, the customer service changed and was so bad we withdrew every *****. As an example, for a jointly-titled account with my spouse, telephone representatives, including supervisors, repeatedly asked for my spouse's authorization/permission to speak with me regarding the account. It's a joint account - each party with equal authority under law. Second, I am an attorney that does administration of estates after someone's passing. Vanguard has be... read more

Dont do it!!! Transferred entire portfolio OUT due to an outdated website & bad customer service. They charge a $100 transfer out fee.per account. I had $300 in fees to leave a horrible experience. They refused to refund anything. I said Im posting this all over social media, the *** said go ahead.nice.

Horrible. They do not care about you; they just want your money. DO NOT INVEST with Vanguard. They messed up my funds, made multiple errors, lied to me, blamed the *** (untrue), gave me false info, were extremely rude, promised to send me paperwork and did not, many times promised to call me back & did not, hung up on me many times. The WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE Ive ever encountered in any business ever.Recently, they made my life nearly unlivable before they admitted & rectified their mistake. I spent 80+ hours on the phone, a... read more

Absolutely, the worst customer service ever spoke with the agent name Tan J. He really needs to find a new career because He's not good at customer service after 45 minutes of him.Not helping me he absolutely refused to transfer me to a supervisor or a manager and then hung up on me

I am extremely disappointed with Vanguard Investments and their complete lack of professionalism when it comes to handling 401(k) transfers. What should have been a simple and straightforward process has turned into a nightmare spanning several months.Their customer service is beyond frustratingrepresentatives seem to have no clear understanding of their own processes, giving conflicting information at every turn. Each call results in a different answer, and rather than making the process easier, they make it unnecessarily s... read more

The **** hang up on me more than actually talk to me. They are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to understand. They will hang on you if you ask for a supervisor. They will begin telling you they can't hear you if you ask for a supervisor. Then they will disconnect the line. You may be prompted to take a survey. After answering the questions you will then get an "error message" and be disconnected.

1. The "Low Cost" Myth:They tout "low-cost investing," but it's like a magician's trick - all smoke and mirrors. Once you're in, you find fees popping up like weeds after a rainstorm. It's a low-cost facade until you read the fine print.2. The Nonsensical Commissions:Vanguard's commissions are like hidden landmines in a battlefield. You think you're stepping into a safe investment, but then - BOOM - a fee you never saw coming. They charge you for the privilege of giving them your money.3. The "Investor-Owned" Lie:They claim ... read more
