Fidelity, Charles Schwab Website Down? Users Says Trading Sites Not Working

For the second time in the past week Fidelity’s website and app are not working. Multiple users reported issues with Fidelity and Charles Schwab sites Monday morning. According to DownDetector, the first reports of outages started around 9:15 a.m. and spiked around 9:30 a.m.
Around the same time Charles Schwab also reported outages. The DownDetector map showed most of the outages were reported along the coasts.
In a series of tweets, users complained about the Fidelity site not working. Not only was the site down for some users, it was also displaying incorrect trading information for some.
“Problems with @Fidelity yet again this morning. Quotes are inaccurate in my account. Looks like it's getting mixed up with data from last week,” Twitter user Darryl Spencer said.
Fidelity says it is aware of the issue and it working on a resolution. Charles Schwab told International Business Times an "internal technical issue" was at fault but all issues have now been fixed.
"This morning, some clients experienced issues accessing their account balances online due to an internal technical issue. Trading was not impacted," the company said in a statement. "The issue was quickly resolved and online functionality has been restored."

@CharlesSchwab Tried to transfer money, says functionality unavailable. Tried to trigger a chat, the chat timed out. Really not happy with your service at the moment. What's going on?!

Hey Mike, we're aware and working to resolve this. Thanks for your patience this morning.

System down twice in less than a week. We’re beyond apologies. You’re not reliable, not taking care of your customers, and costing us money. How about answers? What happened? Why should we have confidence in you? Unacceptable. Looking elsewhere.
