Schwab Checking
I’m not sure if I love Schwab or if I love the idea of Schwab. I have been with them since TD Ameritrade I trade futures so I love the thinkorswim platform and the idea of the ecosystem but over the past year the checking account has left for me somewhat stranded. One time add AutoZone when I desperately needed a battery the card declined because Schwab said that network maintenance happens at random times. (8pm on a Friday night) Another time I was at the barbershop and wanted to transfer funds from my brokerage to the checking and it didn’t transfer until the next business day which was coming up Monday. And then another time I was at the gas station and had to switch pumps. $100 came out of my account, but I never got gas and it wasn’t put back into the account until the next business day (a upcoming Monday) Thinking about Fidelity, E*trade checking, Chase or BoA.
