Benefits of account consolidation

  • Whether any fee waivers or charges apply (See the Charles Schwab Pricing Guide for details about waivers.)
  • Whether your account may qualify for certain benefits or features

Contact us on 0845 600 3575 (in the U.K.) or 0800 563821 (in Switzerland) with questions about householding or if you have accounts which need to be linked for householding purposes. Please see the Charles Schwab Pricing Guide for additional details about householding.
