Fifteen years in Thailand with great ATM fee reimbursements, though the account has been frozen at random and replacing an expired card abroad is a hassle since foreign addresses and phone numbers aren't allowed.

Sharing the brokerage interface makes banking tools slightly less intuitive to find, but unlimited casino and travel ATM fee rebates easily make up for it.

Fee-free ATM withdrawals anywhere are great, though built-in spending categorization is more limited than traditional big-bank portals.
Of the 51 reviews with a clear verdict, 71% are positive, 18% mixed and 12% negative. The praise mentioned most is low fees. The most common complaint is account frozen.
The praise reviewers mention most: low fees (13 reviews), easy to use (8 reviews) and reliable (8 reviews). For example: Schwab confirmed an unexpectedly high fee charged by a private ATM and said it refunds such fees.
The complaints reviewers mention most: account frozen (2 reviews), buggy app (1 review) and poor support (1 review). For example: Arranging a 10k Visa debit teller cash advance at a local bank resulted in Schwab denying the withdrawal two hours later with no explanation from customer service.
It's how well reviewed Schwab Bank Investor Checking 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.
Category: Checking. Type: Checking account linked to a brokerage account. Fees: No monthly service fees or overdraft fees. Rates & rewards: Unlimited ATM fee rebates worldwide; no foreign transaction fees.
