Currency conversion website put offline by Brexit fears

The world awoke to the news that Great Britain voted to leave the European Union and the ramifications are as yet unclear.

This uncertainty has affected markets across the world, as well as the strength of the pound against various currencies. The latter is something that affects everyone, or is at least a point of interest, which resulted in currency conversion website XE.com going down.

The site was been overwhelmed by visitors and requests and buckled under the weight of it all. Visitors were greeted by the message that the website was unavailable.
