A dissatisfied customer says, "I opened a brokerage account wit Schwab and started day trading. I have no complaint with fees or the platform. Few weeks into trading I decided to open a checking account and I did. The next day with no warnings my account was suspended and I was instructed to call customer service. Since I’m overseas I spend $$ to stay on the phone to figure out why my brokerage account was blocked while I have shares I bought is going downhill and I can do a damn thing about it. I’m still locked and waiting for them to give me access to money I saved up and invested being taken away with the bear market. Very disappointed with the brokerage and don’t recommend it for anybody."
