Think twice if you want to transfer your money to Vanguard. I have been a Vanguard customer for years. My mother passed away several months ago and left me and my sister some IRA money.

For a company like Vanguard, who hold billions of dollars of consumers hard earns money, vanguard customer service is THE ABSOLUTE WORST! Vanguard has been a staple in my family for decades! One of the first thing I knew I must do once I starting my career was to create a Vanguard account. I have been happy with the company till now. Today, the customer service that “serviced” me was extremely impatient, the first guy couldn’t pronounce “Maternal grandmother”, So, I was transfer to a young lady who seems to be in an empty ro... read more

Awful customer service. Used to be very good but in last two years has hit rock bottom. Find another broker dealer!
