Voyager Digital Reports Putting App Temporarily in Maintenance Mode Last Night Due to Surge in New Accounts

Technology

January 29, 2021 (Source) — New sign-ups last night spiked to 100 new accounts per minute

Voyager Digital Ltd. (“Voyager” or the “Company”) (CSE: VYGR) (OTCQB: VYGVF) (FRA: UCD2), today announced that the Company temporarily put its app in maintenance mode last night to address unexpected growth in accounts and onboard approximately 100 new accounts per minute for a period of time. Voyager believes the surge in accounts is due to competitive products temporarily restricting users from certain stocks and crypto currencies that have surged in recent days as widely reported in the media. The sudden growth Voyager experienced resulted in Voyager having to quickly expand its infrastructure capacity overnight to ensure the handling of these unexpected accounts. The Voyager App is currently up and running and handling all orders in the normal course of business, and Voyager will be managing the situation throughout the day.
