What Well does with your Vanguard connection
Connect
Connect Vanguard over Plaid: you authenticate with Vanguard through Plaid's secure connection, so your bank login never reaches Well; Well holds only a read-only connection it cannot use to move money.
Sync
Well brings account, transaction, and balance in from Vanguard on a recurring poll that fetches only what changed since the last read. The first sync backfills history in the background and the connection stays live after.
Enrich
Well resolves each Vanguard entity into workspace account, bank transaction, and cash position, assigns categories, and links every record to an audit trail across the rest of your connected tools.
Available
Your data from Vanguard lands in the workspace as workspace account, bank transaction, and cash position you can search, chart, and automate.
Questions Vanguard unlocks
Ask in plain language. Well answers from your connected Vanguard connection, resolved against the rest of your stack.

Frequently asked questions about Vanguard and Well
How do I connect Vanguard to Well, and how long does it take?
From Well, open Connections, find Vanguard, and click Connect. Well links Vanguard through Plaid: you authenticate on Vanguard's side in Plaid's secure flow, and Well receives a read-only connection. Your Vanguard login never reaches Well. The handshake takes about a minute, and Well starts importing accounts, balances, transactions, and investment holdings right after.
What does Well pull into the workspace from Vanguard?
Well brings in account, transaction, and balance from Vanguard and reshapes each entity into your workspace: account becomes workspace account; transaction becomes bank transaction. Every record arrives with the source identifier preserved, so Vanguard stays the source of truth while Well lets you query the data alongside the rest of your stack.
What does Vanguard unlock once it is connected to Well?
Once Vanguard is connected, every record it exposes is queryable from conversation, filterable in records tables, and available to your agents through your workspace. The data stays linked to its Vanguard source, so you can always trace a workspace record back to the original.
How does Well preserve the link from a workspace workspace account back to the original account in Vanguard?
Every workspace workspace account built from Vanguard carries the source account identifier plus a deep link back to the original record. From a workspace page, one click takes you to the Vanguard record; from Vanguard, the workspace identifier travels back so you can search either direction. The link survives every subsequent enrichment Well runs.
How often does Vanguard sync with Well, and what triggers a refresh?
Well polls Vanguard regularly for account, transaction, and balance. The first connect pulls the historical window your account allows; subsequent reads only fetch what changed since the last sync, so the load on Vanguard's side stays modest.
Can I disconnect Vanguard and what happens to the data Well already pulled?
Open Connections > Vanguard in Well and click Disconnect. Well drops the Plaid connection immediately and stops reading from Vanguard; you can also revoke Well from your Plaid dashboard. The account, transaction, and balance Well already imported stay in your workspace by default; ask Support to purge them if your compliance flow requires it.
Does Well read investment accounts from Vanguard?
Yes. Vanguard exposes investment holdings through Plaid, so alongside your accounts, balances, and transactions Well reads your holdings as a read-only feed, ready to categorise and query in conversation.
Which region does Vanguard cover in Well?
Vanguard is a US brokerage, connected through Plaid. Well reads its accounts, balances, transactions, and investment holdings as a read-only feed and never moves money or changes anything at Vanguard.
