Do you happen to know if IRA's are included in the add-up?
Yes, all $$ held at Schwab are added up (Tax deferred and brokerage), although I am not sure if bank accounts are included.

E-Trade is Schwab
Years ago when I was bringing new money to Fidelity, they matched the incentive ($2,500) being offered by a competitor. Doesn't hurt to ask.
E-Trade is Schwab, but IMO the likelihood is that the brand will be slowly extinguished in favor of the Schwab brand. Software platforms may be merged rather than one or the other being adopted. My understanding is that the Etrade software has some desirable featurs that the Schwab platform does not. But regardless, IMO starting with Etrade is just buying one degree or another of grief as Schwab absorbs it.
Yup. Brain fade. Thanks for the correction.Are you confused with TD Ameritrade? E-Trade is owned by Morgan Stanley and Schwab is in the process of integrating TD Ameritrade.
TDA is owned by Schwab. The brand is alive and well to this point. And in my view it is better than Schwab. I kind of doubt they will just force TDA onto the Schwab platform. They would be forcing people to leave.
It will.be interesting. My DAF is at TDA. So I guess Schwab will adopt this. Might be my trigger to move to Fidelity.Have been with TDA since the merger with my old broker TD Waterhouse years ago -- really like TDA and have not noticed any changes at all (so far) since being acquired by Schwab. I think I read recently that Schwab will be integrating TDA accounts into their platform in 2023.
I was wondering who uses the offices and why? I have never been inside any of my brokers' offices.The most outstanding feature of both Fido and Schwab is their B&M offices. Maybe choose based on which broker has the most conveniently located office. Evan if you don’t have any plans to use a physical location, it can be very handy if the need arises. Everything else about them seem to be nearly equal based on comments in this thread and many others.

My guy at Schwab indicated they would be integrating TDA’s website with Schwab. Best of both combined maybe?

I was also at Waterhouse, but rolled into Brown and Co after the TD Bank purchase was announced. Ah, those were the days..

For current Schwab customers:
Opinion/experience on using local Independent Branch vs. Schwab location?
Does it matter based on level of assets?
