Important details about investments at Schwab:
Past performance is not an indication of future results.

Investors should consider carefully information contained in the mutual fund prospectus, including investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can request a mutual fund prospectus by calling Schwab at 800-435-4000. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

An investment in a money market fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. Please note that bank deposits are FDIC insured up to $100,000 while non-bank independent products have no such guarantees.

Unlike mutual funds, certificates of deposit offer a fixed rate of return and are FDIC insured.

Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Checking™ accounts are only available as linked accounts with Schwab One brokerage accounts. There are no minimum balance requirements or minimum balance charges in order to open the Schwab One brokerage account when you also open a linked Investor Checking account.

1. The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on the Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Checking account, with a minimum balance of $0.01, is 2.01% as of May 7, 2008. This rate is variable and may change without notice. The current APY on the High Yield Checking account for an account with $1 is  5 times higher (when rounded to the nearest whole number) than the national average APY of banks and thrifts (excludes credit unions), based upon a survey by Informa Research Services, Inc., Calabasas, CA, (www.informars.com), as of April 25, 2008. Although the information has been obtained from the various institutions themselves, its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
2. Unlimited ATM fee rebates apply to cash withdrawals using the Schwab Bank Visa® Platinum Check Card wherever it is accepted. ATM fee rebates do not include currency exchange fees; fees imposed by merchants for POS transactions; or fees for stamp purchases, balance inquiries, or any transactions other than an ATM cash withdrawal from your Schwab Bank account. Schwab Bank makes its best effort to identify those ATM fees eligible for rebate, based on information it receives from Visa and ATM operators. In the event that you have not received a rebate for a fee that you believe is eligible, please call a Schwab Bank Client Service Specialist for assistance. Schwab Bank reserves the right to modify or discontinue the ATM fee rebate at any time.
3. Funds deposited at Charles Schwab Bank are insured, in aggregate, up to $100,000 (based on account ownership type) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
