In my experience, Charles Schwab is a reliable and secure brokerage, despite its regulatory status with the SFC being revoked. Schwab operates under U.S. financial regulations, and it is a member of SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation), which offers protection for customers' securities, up to $500,000, including $250,000 in cash. This SIPC protection gives me confidence that my assets are secure, and it provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen circumstances. Additionally, Schwab Bank is FDIC-insured, which means that any funds in my Schwab Bank accounts are covered up to $250,000 per depositor, further adding to the safety of my funds. Although the revocation of SFC regulation might seem concerning for non-U.S. investors, the extensive regulatory framework that Schwab adheres to within the United States ensures that I am well-protected as an investor. When I first registered and logged into my Charles Schwab account, I found that Schwab makes security a top priority, which reassured me. While the revoked status from SFC might limit Schwab's activities in some regions, its extensive regulatory background and customer protection mechanisms make it a trustworthy platform for me. Therefore, despite this revocation, I still feel comfortable with Schwab’s overall security and regulatory compliance.
