The investment app Trade Republic is struggling with significant outages for the second time in just a few days.
The neobroker platform Trade Republic was again affected by massive technical disruptions today, Wednesday. According to the reporting platform downdetector.com almost 5,000 disruption reports were received in Germany by 19:30 where the company is based. Among other things, users are not receiving any current price data and many are seeing the value “0” in their portfolios. Criticism rained down on the major social media platforms.
Second failure within a short space of time
You can hardly blame them. This is already the second major outage in just a few days. Just two days ago, the investment app recorded thousands of malfunction reports. At that time, users reported similar problems:
- Difficulties logging into the app
- Impossibility to carry out transactions
- No display of current price data
Although the technical faults from two days ago seemed to have been resolved in the meantime, the new reports indicate ongoing or recurring problems in the company’s infrastructure.
Critical time for failures
The repeated outages could be particularly problematic for many users, as they are currently occurring at a time when the financial markets are in turmoil due to the tariffs imposed by the USA.
As with the first outage, Trade Republic has not yet officially commented on the current technical problems. No statement has been published either on the company website or via the official social media channels to inform users about the causes of the disruption or the expected time of resolution.
