I find this checking account very practical. I can transfer funds form and to the brokerage account instantly. Otherwise it offers all the features of a regular personal account with no monthly fee. I am allowed to withdraw cash from other banks ATMs without incurring the usual fee, with some limitations. I rarely do that anyway, since I can use the ATM card in any store and get cash back when I need.

No ATM fees and brokerage and checking all on one easy to use website. I have yet to receive a scary booklet detailing fees and the myriad of things I must do to avoid being nickeled and dimed like the major banks.

This checking account has been great. I have taken advantage of just about all of the features. I love the Bill Pay, the no ATM fee charges and ease of use. It is now the only ATM card I use. I wish it still had the original interest rate but all good things must come to an end I guess... I would highly reccomend it to anyone looking for a great value and great service!!

When I first left my former bank they asked me why. I told them checks are free, they have a great website, I am not nickel and dimed with fees and they pay over fifty times the interest rate they were paying at the time. My former bank even charged me an 'excess withdrawal fee' and my balance was in the six digits.
And an ATM card that has no fees. If I call them toll free they are polite, knowledgeable and professional. It cannot be better than this!
My former bank understood understood and gave me my money. There is no reason to bank anywhere else.
I would recommend this to a friend.

I'm very happy with my banking experience at Schwab. I've found all interactions with Schwab personnel to be rewarding and professional. At the moment I do not have any complaints about my service or experiences. In fact my parents have switched over to Schwab after hearing me talk about what Schwab can do for me.

Free ATM's is good. No fee checking is good. However I do keep well in excess of a million dollars with Charles Schwab. High Yield Investor Checking, is anything but high yield!!
I would not recommend this to a friend.
