Charles Schwab Bank Account Agreement, Disclosures and Terms

Have you been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding?

NoYes

Generally, "backup" withholding is not required. "Backup" withholding applies to clients who fail to certify their withholding status, incorrectly provide their taxpayer identification number, or fail to certify they are not subject to "backup" withholding. "Backup" withholding also applies when the IRS is aware that a client has under reported their income. If you choose "Yes", Schwab is required to "backup" withhold a percentage of your taxable income from dividends, interest, and gross proceeds and send the withholding to the IRS.

By checking the checkbox, you declare the following under penalty of perjury:

The number shown on this application is my correct Taxpayer Identification Number;
I am not subject to backup withholding because (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the IRS that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding;
I am a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien as defined in federal tax regulations; and
I am exempt from Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act reporting.

The IRS does not require you to consent to any provision of this document other than the certification required to avoid backup withholding.

By checking this checkbox, I certify that the preceding information is true and correct.

The Schwab Bank account offers a variable interest rate and may change without notice.

Please read carefully the Schwab Bank Privacy Notice, the Schwab Bank Application Online Account Terms, the Schwab Bank Deposit Account Agreement and the Schwab Bank Deposit Account Pricing Guide. Together these documents are referred to as the "Account Agreement" and will govern Schwab Bank's account relationship with you.

By checking the checkbox, you:

Affirm that you have received and read the Schwab Bank Application Online Account Terms ("Deposit Application Agreement") and the Schwab Bank Deposit Account Agreement ("Deposit Account Agreement") and understand that each of the Deposit Application Agreement and the Deposit Account Agreement is a legally binding agreement and the equivalent of a written contract, and that your use of your Schwab Bank account will be governed by the terms of the Deposit Account Agreement and Deposit Application Agreement.
Acknowledge that all references to "Charles Schwab Bank" "Schwab Bank" or "Bank" in the Account Agreement and all related documentation shall be deemed to refer to "Charles Schwab Bank, SSB".
