FDIC-insured

The Schwab Bank Savings Account includes the security of FDIC insurance up to $250,000.2 The FDIC insurance limit applies to all deposit accounts (e.g., checking, savings, sweep cash balances3) held by each account holder at each bank. Here is how the FDIC defines coverage for single and joint savings accounts: 
  • Single accounts—deposit accounts owned by one person. FDIC insurance covers up to $250,000 per owner for all single accounts at each bank.
  • Joint accounts—deposit accounts owned by two or more people. FDIC insurance covers up to $250,000 per owner for all joint accounts at each bank.
  • Living Trust accounts—FDIC insurance coverage for these accounts is determined by a number of factors. Contact the FDIC at 1-877-275-3342 for more information.

1. Unlimited ATM fee rebates apply to cash withdrawals using the Schwab Bank Visa® Check Card wherever it is accepted. ATM fee rebates do not include currency exchange fees; fees imposed by merchants for point-of-sale (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 Representative for assistance at 888-403-9000. Schwab Bank reserves the right to modify or discontinue the ATM fee rebate at any time.
2. Funds deposited at Charles Schwab Bank are insured, in aggregate, based on account ownership type, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The temporary increase of FDIC insurance coverage to $250,000 for all insurable capacities has been extended through December 31, 2013. If not further extended, FDIC coverage will revert to $100,000 on January 1, 2014.
3. If the cash feature on your brokerage or 401(k) account uses the Bank Sweep Feature, your cash balances are automatically swept to deposits at Schwab Bank and are FDIC-insured when aggregated with all other deposits held by you in the same capacity at Schwab Bank.
4. The Annual Percentage Yield (APY) quoted on the Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Savings™ account, with a minimum balance of $0.01, is 1.05% as of 08/18/2009. This rate is variable and may change without notice.
