In our current economic situation, the majority of us are looking for ways to save money. Specially…read morein the banking industry. I was a personal banker with Chase in one of their Sugar Land branches. When I had to leave Chase due to health reasons, I looked for ways to save on fees. Online or virtual banks seemed like the right fit for me. I had seen this Charles Schwab location and walk in one day. I was told that the office was mainly for investment accounts but they did handle some aspects of retail banking here. Upon further discussion, the banker explained that I could open a brokerage account with $0.00. There was no obligation on my part to trade. I could open two interest bearing retail accounts, one checking and one savings. Opening deposit required; you guessed it, $0.00! I proceeded to open the three accounts after learning that my debit card would not incur any ATM fees. Any ATM around the world. Schwab Bank will credit ATM fees in a monthly settlement. Believe me I have withdrawn GBP in London and Euros in Paris as well as Rupees in Mumbai and Rajula, India. Bill pay is free of course. The bank will mail you free check books, deposit slips, prepaid mailing envelops and preprinted return address labels in case you use your own envelop. Sorry, no free USPS stamps. The bank has a toll free number that is answered by a human banker available 24 hours a day. I transferred my money from Chase and started real free banking.

From the owner: Chuck Schwab started a stock brokerage company with a simple question: isn't there a better way?…read moreThat question led to the establishment of a new kind of investment firm - with a more contemporary approach to wealth management based on a set of core values and beliefs, not just profits and losses. These core beliefs have led to 40+ years of serving clients, innovating on their behalf, and developing brokerage products and financial services that put them - not us - first. At Schwab, we offer a wide range of wealth management services, personalized financial advising and retirement planning, and expert investment research, as well as a number of complimentary workshops covering everything from investing essentials to complex trading strategies.

Went to one of their many "Free Dinner" seminars in Sugarland, TX. several years ago. She talked up…read moreI think it was Blackrock and the excellent performance. Entrusted them with all our retirement benefits, savings etc. Shortly after signing up, this had been sold off and invested elsewhere. She said it was because they changed Brokers who did not deal with that. Fairly quickly realized that we were losing money consistently. Began digging through records and they were making excessive trades. Sometimes selling one quantity of a stock, then the same day, buying back another quantity of the same stock. I have since learned that this practice is called "Churning". Shortly after we moved everything to another firm and are very happy with the improvement. Be careful and do not trust anyone but the majors (Edward Jones, Schwab, etc.) with your retirement. That "Free Dinner" was not a benefit, nothing in life is free.

The best part is that it is all done online and I don't have to drive anywhere to do my part of the protest.

I have nothing but good things to say about this company! I highly recommend them for property tax purposes.
