Thanks for the info, I think my next bank account is going to be with Charles Schwab ( I was waffling between Ally and Charles Schwab, but this is a useful feature for me and a good step up from Robinhood).

View on HN

I've had Charles Schwab since I was 18 and I can't recommend them enough. I've never experienced any company with better customer service.

I switched from Wells Fargo to Schwab last year. I've been very happy and the customer service is great. The web interface is a bit cluttered, but i've seen worse at banks :)

Refunds on all ATM fees make it worth it for that alone.

I was referring to the trading account, which is independent from the bank.

Tho Charles Schwab bank accounts are useful because they refund your ATM fees.

Free checking account helps too; they sent me two boxes of checks and a checkpad with a $0 initial balance, for no fees.

And they offer you commission-free trades too if you offer to transfer in enough funds.

Great, great, place to keep your finances.

How's their mobile app on iOS?

Pretty similar to android (IMO)

Are you a Marx Brother? Sheesh.

It's fine. Been using it for years.

Has their security improved since they made HN a few years ago?

I'm aware, but I'd like to keep the as few accounts as possible. Should simplify transfers and customer service.

I wasn't aware of it but Robinhood did offer SNAP IPO: https://support.robinhood.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000902306...

Yes, but it's filled at regular price (I bought SNAP at $24), it's just that you put in the trade previous day (in the case of SNAP). It's more of a convenience feature, you won't get the stock at the pre-IPO value ($17 in SNAP's case).

You are right. I didn't read this part: "Please keep in mind these are not pre-IPO stocks or private placements and you’re not participating in the IPO"
