Is Betterment down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Betterment right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Betterment continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are can't log in, can't connect, website / app down, API errors, checkout or payment, no response / timing out and files won't sync. Those are the options the report button offers for Betterment, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Betterment specifically, Betterment's authentication servers, portfolio data layer, and trading execution systems can fail independently, so you might reach the login page but not see your holdings, or see holdings but not be able to trade. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Betterment, log into the Betterment app or website and check if you can view your portfolio dashboard, see your account balance across all linked goals, and access your recent trades or transfers. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Betterment's side. Specifically: do not attempt repeated trades or fund transfers, as they may queue and execute when service returns, potentially triggering unintended duplicate orders or transfers. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Betterment does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe betterment.com directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Betterment says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Betterment or betterment.com. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Betterment's own support, not us.
