Charles SchwabReviews of schwab.com

The most popular trading tool, ThinkorSwim (TOS) is a complicated and difficult software with too many mostly cumbersome options for each task. I have been using it since Tom created it decades ago (before Ameritrade bought it), and I still have issues with it. Managing multiple charts and editing Watchlists are the most ridiculously difficult tasks. Customer service has voice recognition but they only use it if they are not busy. If they are busy you have to go though a lengthily identification process. So, chances are that you have to go through the long process when you really need help.

Wow came here to check the reviews before invested , glad I did I won't be going near Charles Schwab clearly a bunch of con artists

On desktop when making a trade with a limit, the limit price placed in the trade window is terribly priced. Either on a sell or a buy order the spread between the actual trading price and the Schwab given price is too far out of line to be a fair trade. My account was absorbed from Ameritrade and the quality and professionalism is completely absent from Schwab. They are not a reliable or trustworthy trading agency. Bottom line is number one for this company. Their bottom line not their customers.

Schwab is just TRYING to be Ameritrade, they know they haven't the entire skillset to do so. They even have trouble reconciling an accounts weekly option transaction results in a timely manner. Takes them a long time to remove expired trades, credit assignments and clean the portfolio up to get it accurate after the week ends.

There is a new video this week in the oval office showing Donald Trump bragging about Charles Schwab, the actual PERSON, not the company, allegedly making over 900 million from the market manipulation that has transpired this week (APR 14-18). All this as regular Americans, including their (prospective) clients, are in fear of losing their retirement, incurring unprecedented taxes/cost due to the tariffs, and the rising cost of everyday items. I will never do business with this company.

It really sucks. When I registered the account, I was having w8 Ben, but now I am not. It withheld me a lot of money. I invested in CD, for example, for 10000 dollars, they withheld 2400 dollars . But the internet is at most 4.5 percent.It withdraws my principal. I contacted many times which lasts for several months, no solution was made. Then, I sold my bond, it also withheld me more than 20 percent. If I invest , this will definitely a loss to me. Also, I contacted them so many times and even went to the branch in person, no solution made, only withdraw you money

I tried to open a Roth twice with Schwab only to speak to customer service so they would tell me they would have to MAIL me documents to open an account. What is this 1965? When I questioned him why couldn't he just go through with me online he was very sarcastic. So I had to tell him he just wasn't in the mood to help and it seems to be the norm for this customer service. Oh well, I will just go with another broker.
