Charles SchwabReviews of schwab.com

Best ATM card for withdrawing cash at international ATMs. I've tried debit cards from many other banks, sometimes I'll do two transactions as a test: one with my Schwab card, one with another bank,just to see which is better. Charles Schwab always gives the best currency conversion rate. I've tested it against my three other debit cars: BoA, SunTrust, KeyBank. I've tested in multiple countries. My SunTrust card is a special "World Debit Card" and with supposedly zero international fees but the actual currency conversion is never as good as my Schwab debit card. The SunTrust "World Debit Card" which claims to have no international transaction fees is usually 2% worse than the Schwab card. BoA and KeyBank are upfront about their fees and are 3% worse.

10+ years with them LOVE. never had a single issue. Always treated so well!

As a 10 year+ client and a former employee from 2011-2013, I couldn’t be more happy with Charles schwab. They refund atm fees worldwide - even the big ones! This alone has saved me hundreds over the years. Free trades, free ETFs and great free research - you can’t ask for a better brokerage solution. Oh an as a bonus, they treat their employees so well! It was a true pleasure working for them.

I've had a Schwab Account for about a year (not that long, yet). But I have been very pleased. Their customer service has always been fast and helpful (especially the "chat" function). They have even refunded fees OTHER companies charged me. I plan on sticking with Schwab in the future.

Charles Schwab Bank (Charles Schwab) and they just acquired (TD Ameritade) located 211 Main St. San Francisco, CA 94105, P.O. Box 982605 El Paso, TX 79998-2605 are full of crap and extremely RUDE. They will lie to you when you are the one investing your hard earned money in their company(ies). Please do NOT waste your time nor money with this company(ies). I was opening a checking\brokerage account which required a ChexSystems to be access and then (here came the bs) we need to access Equifax credit (patriot act) to complete the opening of the account. When In fact they ran my credit to extend me credit (which I did NOT ask for) and then they didn't like my response so they then said 'declined' for ALL services. I have contacted many government agencies, because I know they are LIARS and have violated laws. Together (We the Public) can STOP these GREEDY sob(s) in their tracks---PLEASE do NOT do business with them!

I am very satisfied with Charles Schwab's efficiency and customer service. The agent on the phone answered my questions thoroughly and didn't waste any of my time.

I’ve not been with Schwab for long but so far I rate in much higher than any broker I’ve used in the past. Trading American equities from the uk has always presented problems with finding a good broker but feel settled with Schwab . Their street smart edge platform has everything needed and doesn’t take any working out so very user friendly .

I and 4 other members of my family have used Charles Schwab for US securities investment since 1996 i.e. over 23 years in my own case. Overall they provide a very efficient and excellent service at a very reasonable indeed cheap price. The website is very good and easy to use and the research information provided free is comprehensive. One can easily obtain a loan secured on the portfolio (margin loan) to invest further although the interest rates charged are quite high for most people . Example costs for US share purchase is $ 8 a trade regardless of the amount bought or sold. One can also trade Options i.e. Calls and Puts on US securities (including international shares quoted in the US as ADRs) but their rates for this are a bit high. Only once in over 20 years did I have a problem with my and Schwab was already onto it before I raised it with them. Their call centres in the US (with freehone access from the UK) are very efficient. Why not 5 stars ? Well one can only trade US quoted shares not other countries shares that are not quoted in the US. Also they do not let you trade Futures. Further they do not offer Junk Bonds so cutting out a large part of the Bond Market. Also one does not get income from securities Lending (they appear to lend your shares but they seem to keep the income from this). But these are minor quibbles. Overall an excellent and cost effective service (except for options)
