I was very excited to continue my investing journey with Vanguard having switched from a previous provider. However recent difficulties trying to add funds and their new fee structure have put me off. Adding cash manually became a chore for some reason. My browser (various) and app began to hang on a waiting page after following the instructions to no avail. Support responded swiftly but non of their suggestions made a difference. Several attempts and their new fee structure have given me good reason to move on to another platform. I did like the simplicity of a fund only platform, no temptation to mess about with stocks.

I've really enjoyed investing in the vanguard ISA. It's easy to use, the website is straightforward to access and the cost is lower than similar DIY platforms. There's a great selection of funds available too, but I invest in a diversified global tracker. Read more Read less

A minimum Platform fee of £48 per year for people with less than £32,000 in their account is just not on. I thought that they would scrap the Platform Fee to remain competitive with other platforms instead the introduced a minimum of £4 per month. They do not compete with others. They will lose a lot of customers for doing this. Read more Read less

An increase in fees has not helped the platform recently - nor has its slightly outdated module of customer support which can leave you waiting up to a week for any query.
