Disclosure
Definition of Business Day
Business Days are Monday through Friday,
excluding Federal Reserve Bank holidays. If a
funds transfer is scheduled for a day other than
a Business Day, we will make it on the following
Business Day.
Consumer’s Liability for Unauthorized
Transfers
Tell us at once if you believe your user
identification or password (access codes) has
been lost or stolen, or if an unauthorized
person has learned your access codes or has
transferred or may transfer money from your
account without your permission. You can
notify us by calling or writing Customer Service:
Charles Schwab Bank, P.O. Box 982605, El
Paso, TX 79998-2605. Call toll-free:
1-888-403-9000. Telephoning immediately is
the best way of minimizing your possible
losses. For accounts with more than one
authorized signer, we may accept this report
from any authorized signer.
If you tell us within two business days after you
learn of the loss or theft, you can lose no more
than $50 if someone used your access codes
without your permission or for an unauthorized
Electronic Funds Transfer. However, you could
lose as much as $500 if:
• You don’t tell us within two business days
after you learn of the loss or theft of your
access codes; and
• We can demonstrate that we could have
stopped someone from using your access
codes without your permission if you had told
us.
Losses could include the money in your
account plus any advances or transfers from an
Overdraft Source linked to your account. If
unauthorized activity occurs, you agree to
cooperate during the investigation and to
complete any report or affidavit we may
request. Also, if your statement shows
Electronic Funds Transfers that you didn’t make
or authorize, tell us at once. If you do not tell us
within 60 days after the statement was mailed
to you, you may not recover any money you lost
after the 60 days if we can prove that we could
have stopped someone from taking the money
if you had told us in time. If a good reason kept
you from telling us (such as a long trip or
hospital stay), we will extend the time periods.
When you give someone your access codes,
you are authorizing that person to access your
account, and you are responsible for all
transactions that person performs with your
access codes. These transactions are
authorized transactions. Transactions are
considered unauthorized only after you notify
us that the person is no longer authorized.
Transactions that you, or someone acting with
you, initiate with fraudulent intent are also
authorized transactions.
Disclosure of Account Information
We may disclose your name and/or information
about your account or your transactions to our
agents and affiliates in order to facilitate your
transfer requests. We may also disclose such
information to third parties in certain
circumstances, which may include: (a) to
banks, and other entities that are involved with
the products or services we offer or arrange on
behalf of customers; (b) when it’s requested by
a third party to complete a transaction; (c) to
verify the existence or condition of your
account for a credit bureau or merchant; (d) to
comply with a subpoena, court order or request
from a government agency or law enforcement
authority; (e) to evaluate your creditworthiness
or our ability to collect any debt you owe us; or
(f) if you give us your permission.
Periodic Statements
We will send you a monthly account statement
unless there is no account activity other than
the posting of interest. You will get a statement
at least quarterly even if there is no activity in
your account. All Electronic Funds Transfers
posted to your account during the month are
listed on your statement.
Stopping a Specific Transfer
If you have told us in advance to make
transfers out of your Schwab Bank account(s),
you can stop any of these payments. Call us
toll-free, Monday through Friday, by 5:30 p.m.
Eastern time, at 1-888-403-9000. Alternatively,
you may write to us at Charles Schwab Bank,
P.O. Box 982605, El Paso, TX 79998-2605. We
must receive your request at least three
business days before the payment is scheduled
to be made. If you call, we may also require
that you put your request in writing to us within
14 days after the call. We will not charge you
for such stop requests. If these regular
payments vary in amount, the person or
organization that you are going to pay is
required to tell you, 10 days before each
payment, when it will be made, and how much
it will be. If you order us to stop one of these
payments at least three business days before
the transfer is scheduled, and we do not do so,
we will be liable for your actual, reasonable
losses or damages.
Our Liability for Failure to Complete

with you, we are liable for your losses or
damages. There are some situations in which
we are not liable. We are not liable, for
instance, if:
• Through no fault of ours, you do not have
enough money in your account to complete
the transaction.
• The transaction amount would exceed the
funds available under your overdraft
protection option, if any.
• Circumstances beyond our control (such as
fire or flood) prevent the transfer, despite
reasonable precautions that we have taken.
• The system was not working properly, and you
knew about it when you started the
transaction.
• Another institution provides incorrect
Electronic Funds Transfer instructions to us.
• Any Automated Clearing House network or
other third-party communication system from
which we require information to complete
transactions was not working properly.
• Your account is restricted (because of a court
order or similar reason), and we are not
permitted to make the transaction.
• An error in posting an amount or transaction
occurs that is beyond our control.
• An account becomes dormant, in which case
we may eliminate Schwab Bank Visa
®
Debit
Card access to that account.
• Your Access Code has been revoked due to
inactivity or at our discretion.
There may be other exceptions permitted by
law.
Error Resolution Procedure
In case of any errors or questions about
Electronic Funds Transfers, please contact
Customer Service as soon as you can, if you
think your statement or receipt is wrong or if
you need more information about a transfer
listed on the statement or receipt.
Write to:
Charles Schwab Bank
P.O. Box 982605
El Paso, TX 79998-2605
Fax to: 1-877-524-3067
Call toll-free: 1-888-403-9000
We must hear from you no later than 60
calendar days after the date we sent the first
statement on which the problem or error
appeared. If you tell us orally, we may require
you to send us your complaint or question in
writing within 10 Business Days. We’ll need the
following information:
• Your name and account number,
• A description of the error or transaction you’re
unsure about,
• A clear explanation of why you believe it is an
error or why you need more information, and
• The dollar amount of the transaction or
suspected error.
We will tell you the results of our investigation
within 10 Business Days after we hear from you
and will correct any error promptly. If we need
more time, however, we may take up to 45 days
to investigate your complaint or question. If you
are a new Schwab Bank client and the error or
question concerns an Electronic Funds Transfer
that occurred within 30 days after the first
deposit to an account was made, we will tell
you the results of our investigation within 20
Business Days after we hear from you. If we
need more time, we may take up to 90 days to
investigate. In addition, we may take up to 90
days to investigate if the error or question
relates to an Electronic Funds Transfer that
was initiated outside of the United States or
resulted from a Point-of-Sale Debit transaction.
If we decide we need the additional time to
investigate your complaint or question, we will
provisionally credit your account within 10
Business Days (or 20 Business Days for errors
or questions relating to transactions that
occurred within 30 days after the first deposit
to your account was made) for the amount you
think is in error, so that you will have the use of
the money during the time it takes us to
complete our investigation. If we ask you to put
your complaint or question in writing and we do
not receive it within 10 Business Days, we may
not provisionally credit your account. We will
tell you the results within three Business Days
after completing our investigation. If we decide
that there was no error, we will send you a
written explanation. You may ask for copies of
the documents that we used in our
investigation.

reviewed, and agreed to be bound by the Terms
and Conditions, including, without limit, any
amendments, until you cancel the Service as
described in the Terms and Conditions. Please

Bank and Schwab Brokerage agreements, but
may be mentioned here for reference and
clarification purposes. You agree that if there is
a conflict between these Terms and Conditions
and your Schwab Bank Deposit Account
Agreement (“DAA”) that the terms of the DAA
will govern.
Electronic funds transfers associated with your

the Schwab Bank Visa Debit Card Agreement
and your DAA.
The Terms and Conditions contained within this
document apply only to electronic funds
transfers to or from consumer accounts,
established primarily for personal, family, or
household purposes. Transfers to or from
accounts for corporations, LLCs, partnerships,
or other corporate entities are not permitted.
1. Definitions
Available Funds: Available Funds is the portion
of your preceding day’s ending balance, plus
the current day’s credits, minus the current
day’s debits, that is available for immediate
withdrawal. Funds in your account are not
available if we determine that they are subject
to a hold, dispute, or legal process that
prevents their withdrawal.
Business Day: Business Days are Monday
through Friday, excluding Federal Reserve Bank
holidays. If a funds transfer is scheduled for a
day other than a Business Day, we will make it
on the following Business Day.
Electronic Services: Electronic Services are
Schwab Bank’s computer, telephone, facsimile,
email or wireless services or systems.
2. Schwab Bank Electronic Funds Transfer
Service
When using the Service, transfers of funds
between your Schwab Bank account and an
account at a bank or other financial institution
not affiliated with Schwab Bank (the “Other
Account”) are provided using the Automated
Clearing House (“ACH”) system. You may
authorize transfers to occur: (1) the next
Business Day; or (2) on a scheduled basis,
which includes (a) on-request transfers—one-
time or future-dated transfers, (b) recurring
transfers, or (c) any combination thereof. The
Service is available by calling Schwab Bank at
1-888-403-9000. The Service is available only
between Schwab Bank and financial
institutions within the United States.
3. Automated Clearing House (ACH)
Authorization
You authorize Schwab Bank to facilitate ACH
transactions, which may include permitting
Schwab Bank to: (i) initiate credit entries to the
Other Account per your written instructions and
to credit that account, (ii) initiate debit entries
to the Other Account and to debit that account,
and (iii) initiate reversals to the Other Account
of erroneous or duplicate credit or debit entries
and to credit or debit such account as
appropriate. This authorization will remain in
full force and effect until Schwab Bank has
received written notification from you of its
termination. Schwab Bank must receive this
notification in a time and manner so as to give
Schwab Bank and the other financial institution
a reasonable opportunity to act on it.
4. Service Setup and First Funds Transfer
To set up and test your transaction instructions
through the Service, it may take up to two
weeks from the day Schwab Bank receives your
signed enrollment form before your first funds
transfer can occur. We will notify you when the
Service has been established on your
account(s).

5. Minimum and Maximum Transfer Amounts
We impose limits on the amount(s) you can
transfer through the service each business day.
We may modify these limits from time to time
at our discretion, and if we permit you to
exceed the limits, we may cease doing so at
any time without notice or cause.
6. On-Request Transfers
You may request transfers into or out of your
Schwab Bank account to take place on the next
Business Day. For transfer dates which fall on a
weekend or holiday, your transfer will be
completed the next Business Day. Please
contact us at least one Business Day prior to
your transfer date. Transfer instructions
received and acknowledged by 5:30 p.m.
Eastern time will result in the movement of
funds to your Other Account on the next
Business Day. For example, if you provide
instructions to us by 5:30 p.m. Eastern time on
Monday, your funds will be transferred to your
Other Account on Tuesday. Transfer
instructions received or acknowledged after
5:30 p.m. Eastern time may require two
Business Days to complete. You will need to
check with the other financial institution
regarding funds availability in your Other
Account.
7. Scheduled Transfers
You can establish Scheduled Transfers, which
are: (1) on-request transfers—one-time or
future-dated transfers; and (2) recurring
transfers. For transfer dates that fall on a
weekend or holiday, your transfer will be
completed the next Business Day.
8. Availability of Funds for the Transfer
Please see your DAA under the “Originating
Transfers” section. In addition, please be
advised that if you have an overdraft protection
source (i.e., a linked Schwab Brokerage
account, a linked Schwab Bank account, or an
Overdraft Credit Line), Schwab Bank will not
consider any overdraft source funds or
available credit when determining whether you
have sufficient Available Funds to conduct the
requested transfer. If you do not have sufficient
funds in your account, we may refuse to
complete the transaction. We are under no
obligation to notify you if we do not complete a
transfer because there are insufficient funds in
your Schwab Bank account to process the
transaction. For transfers from your Other
Account into your Schwab Bank account, you
may wish to contact that institution to verify its
requirements for funds availability for these
types of transactions.
9. How Transfers Are Processed and Recorded
To/from Schwab Bank and/or Schwab
Brokerage accounts:
Please see your DAA under the “Real-Time
Funds Transfer and Provisional Credit” and the
Originating Transfers” sections.
To/from Your Other Account:
Please see your DAA under the “Originating
Transfers” section.
10. Availability of Funds in Your Schwab Bank
Account After a Schwab Bank Transfer From
Your Other Account
Funds originating from an ACH transfer from
your Other Account will be available no later
than the fourth Business Day after the day of
your deposit. Schwab Bank is not responsible
for delays in funds availability caused by the
other financial institution.
11. Requesting Changes to Your Existing
Schwab Bank Electronic Funds Transfer
Instructions
You may request changes, including changes to
the frequency of your transfers, your transfer
date, the dollar amount, and the start date of
the Service. At our option, we may also allow
you to enroll other Schwab Bank accounts you
own for transfers to or from the Other Account.
If you request and we accept such additional
enrollments, transfers initiated to or from your
other Schwab Bank accounts will be subject to
these Terms and Conditions. You may make
these changes by contacting us. Written
authorization may be required for all changes
regarding your Other Account, and the direction
of your transfer (either into or out of your
Schwab Bank account[s]). Most change
requests must be received by 5:30 p.m. Eastern
time at least two Business Days prior to the
transfer date to effect the changes prior to the
transfer. Any changes to the information about
the Other Account (such as the account
number, transit routing number, etc.) must be
received by 5:30 p.m. Eastern time 10 Business
Days prior to the transfer date to allow for
validation of the new information.
12. Confirmation of Transfers
We will send you a monthly account statement
unless there is no account activity other than
the posting of interest. You will get a statement
at least quarterly even if there is no activity in
your account. All Schwab Bank transactions
will appear on your applicable Schwab Bank
account statement(s) and may appear on the
Schwab.com website if you have a Schwab
Bank High Yield Investor Savings
®

Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Checking
®
account. You may also confirm a Schwab Bank

When using an Electronic Service,

Request or Scheduled Transfers out of your
Schwab Bank account(s), you can stop any of

receive your request at least three Business
Days before the payment is scheduled to be
made. If you call, we may also require that you
put your request in writing to us within 14 days
after the call. We will not charge you for such
stop requests. If these regular payments vary in
amount, the person or organization that you are
going to pay is required to tell you, 10 days
before each payment, when it will be made,
and how much it will be. If you order us to stop
one of these payments at least three Business
Days before the transfer is scheduled, and we
do not do so, we will be liable for your actual,
reasonable losses or damages.
15. Transfers to Third-Party Accounts
You may authorize transfers from your Schwab
Bank account to a third-party account, where
you are not an account holder, at another
financial institution. You agree to indemnify
Schwab Bank against any loss or damage
incurred by Schwab Bank resulting from a
transfer of funds between the two accounts.
Communications between Schwab Bank and
the account holders of any third-party account
are limited to cancellation of the Schwab Bank
Service with that third-party account. A third
party may make no other requests for changes
to the authorization that you have provided to
us. The Schwab Bank Service is not intended
for bill payment and we may refuse to facilitate
certain transfer requests. Please call a Schwab
Bank representative for details.
16. Statement of Schwab Bank’s Position on
Waivers
No course of dealing, nor any failure or delay in
Schwab Bank’s exercise of any right under
these Terms and Conditions or any right
available by law or in equity, shall be deemed a
waiver of such right. No waiver or consent in
any instance by us shall be deemed a waiver or
consent by us in any later instance.
17. Joint Accounts
If there is more than one account holder, each
account holder is jointly and severally liable for
obligations and transactions resulting from the
Service. As stated in your Account Agreement
with Schwab Bank, each joint account holder
has authority, acting individually and without
notice to any other account holder, to deal with
us as fully and completely as if the account
holder is the sole account holder. We are
authorized to follow the instructions of any joint
account holder and to transfer funds in such
accounts to any joint account holder or upon
any account holder’s instructions. We are not
responsible for determining the purpose or
propriety of an instruction we receive from any
account holder or for the disposition of
