Schwab asks for 25k for deposit but the min balance you should maintain is 1000$.‌ You can open remotely.
You can withdraw ATM free. They reimburse atm fees at end‍ of month + all foreign transactions are free.

I am using this bank along with⁠ my Uk private bank. I use this card for travel as private banks not good⁤ for transactions.
 
Hi @niggashit
Is Schwab actually a bank or⁣ just a brokerage firm ? Do they provide your own bank account number or make⁢ you include a text in a reference message field?
Thanks
 
They are both. Bank and Brokerage. They⁠ are in business since 90's. They provide unique account number and routing number. You can⁤ do outgoing wires to anywhere in shitearth for 25$ or $20 fee. Domestic wires inside⁣ US is free.
 
Thanks @niggashit . As per what I see from their "Account funding instructions" (picture attached)⁤ they don't seem to provide an unique bank account number. You have to use their⁣ pool account in Citibank and then write your investment account number in the reference field.⁢
Am I looking into the right place?
 
You looking at⁤ wrong place. This instructions are for BROKERAGE ACCOUNT.

They have Checking product which is called⁣ Schwab International One High Yield Checking.
 
Thanks again. It seems the "Schwab International One High Yield Checking" is only available for US‍ residents. Isn't it?
 
Hi @niggashit . I've been chatting with Schwab representatives for a while, and they don't seem familiar⁠ with wires from abroad. They keep referring me to the instructions published in their site⁤ (which are only for brokerage accounts and DO require to send to a bank account⁣ in THEIR name and add a memo to the T/T). The link you sent me⁢ days ago is for transfers FROM a Schwab account not TO it.

Have you ever︀ sent funds into your account using the following format?

BENEFICIARY NAME: NIGGASHIT
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 12345679︁
BENEFICIARY BANK: Charles Schwab And Co
SWIFT CODE: CSCHUS6SWTS
 
Yes I did but not under Niggashit 🙂

The reps do not know much about︁ the system.
 
Yes, I know 😉

I've been browsing their entire website‍ to see if that SWIFT code (CSCHUS6SWTS) is mentioned anywhere, but I there's nothing about⁠ it. All I find is their pool accounts in dozen of international banks, which all⁤ requires the use of a memo/reference cry&¤cry&¤
 
They do not have it in website. Your personal relationship⁤ manager will provide it.
Look their main business focus in Brokerage Industry. Website is crafted⁣ such a way.

You can do test transaction if you are not sure lol. Why⁢ you cry man? Just apply and boom.
