NegativeSummary of a Reddit post
They say Fidelity closed their long-held account after they withdrew funds to buy ETFs, gave no details when they called support, then asked for proof of their job while their money sat idle.
Most customers rate the customer service highly and like having investing, cash and retirement accounts in one place, with the cash sweep earning interest. Many prefer it to Vanguard and Schwab. A sizable minority report transfers or deposits held for weeks, account locks, and a glitchy app.

It's how well reviewed Fidelity Brokerage Account is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
