Benefits to Schwab We charge fees and receive certain benefits under the different cash features. We share a
portion of these fees and benefits with our investment professionals. Because of these fees and
benefits, we have a financial incentive to select the particular cash features included in the
Cash Features Program.
Differing Risks and The different cash features are subject to different risks and account protection:
• The Schwab One® Interest feature is not subject to market risk and value loss but is subject to
Account Protection the risk of Schwab's failure. In the unlikely event that Schwab fails, cash is eligible for SIPC
coverage up to a limit of $250,000 (including principal and interest) per client in each insurable
capacity (e.g., individual or joint). Free credit balances held at Schwab are not insured or
guaranteed by the FDIC.
• The Bank Sweep and Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans features are not subject to market risk and
value loss but are subject to the risk of the failure of one or more of the Program Banks. Please
review the Cash Features Program Disclosure Statement for a list of the Program Banks
(www.schwab.com/cashfeaturesdisclosure). Certain conditions must be satisfied for FDIC
insurance coverage to apply. In the unlikely event that one or more of the Program Banks fails,
deposits at each bank are eligible for FDIC insurance protection up to a limit of $250,000
(including principal and interest) per depositor in each insurable capacity (e.g., individual, joint,
and plan participant). This limit includes any other deposits you may have at that bank outside
of the Bank Sweep and Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans features. You are responsible for
monitoring your bank balances in the Bank Sweep and Bank Sweep for Benefit Plans
features and the balances in any of your other bank accounts at each Program Bank to
determine if these, in total, exceed FDIC insurance limits. Monies held in both features are
not covered by SIPC.
• The Money Fund Sweep feature invests in high-quality, short- term securities and seeks to
maintain a stable value, but is subject to market risks and potential value loss. It is not a bank
account and is not subject to FDIC insurance protection. It is instead covered by SIPC, which
protects against the custodial risk (and not a decline in market value) when a brokerage firm
fails by replacing missing securities and cash up to a limit of $500,000, of which $250,000 may
be cash. Shares held through the Money Fund Sweep feature are not considered cash, but are
treated as securities for SIPC coverage.

To help you understand the different account types offered by Schwab Bank, below is a summary. The type of account you select may determine
what happens to your account after your death. Your will may not control the disposition of funds held in some of the following accounts.
Please review the below information prior to selecting which account type to open.
Individual The party to the account owns the account. On the death of the party, ownership of the
account passes to his/her estate.
Note: You may choose a Payable on Death (P.O.D.) designation by adding a beneficiary on
your account. Please contact Schwab for the appropriate beneficiary form and submit it after
opening your account. If you add a P.O.D. beneficiary designation, ownership of the account
passes to the named beneficiaries upon your death.
Joint Tenants With Right of Survivorship The parties to the account own the account in proportion to the parties' net contributions to
the account. The financial institution may pay any sum in the account to a party at any time. If
one account owner dies, his/her interest passes to the surviving owner(s). Not available in
