Charles Schwab outage FAQ
Is Charles Schwab down for everyone, or just me?
Look at the status at the top of this page. We connect to schwab.com directly from our servers, so if our check works but Charles Schwab doesn't work for you, the problem is more likely your device, network or account. If our check fails, or reports have jumped in the last hour, Charles Schwab is probably having a wider outage.
Why does this page say Charles Schwab is up when it isn't working for me?
Our check confirms that schwab.com is reachable and responding. An outage can still affect only part of Charles Schwab, such as logging in, the mobile app or a single feature, or only some regions. That's why visitor reports matter: when many people report problems at once, we flag Charles Schwab as having problems even if the website loads.
How often do you check Charles Schwab?
We check Charles Schwab automatically several times a day, and again whenever someone opens this page and our last check is more than a few minutes old.
How do I report a Charles Schwab outage?
Use "Report a problem" on this page to tell us what isn't working. Reports are anonymous: we don't store your IP address, only a one-way code that stops the same person reporting many times, plus your country.
