Actions taken by the Federal Reserve, including changes in its target funds rate and its own balance sheet management, are difficult to predict and can affect our financial results, including net interest revenue and bank deposit account [removed: fees.][added: fees, and the market value of our investment securities.]
These policies can have implications for clients’ allocation to cash as we experienced in [removed: 2022 and 2023,] [added: recent years,] and higher or lower client cash balances have an impact on our capital requirements, as well as liquidity implications if such changes in allocation are sudden.
Cash awaiting investment [removed: in a portion of our client brokerage accounts is] [added: may be used to extend margin loans to clients or be] swept to our banking subsidiaries and those bank deposits are then used to extend loans to clients and purchase investment securities.
To help facilitate these changes in client cash allocations, the Company [removed: has] utilized higher-cost supplemental funding sources, which [removed: has] negatively impacted the Company’s net income.
[removed: A] [added: Though the Company may benefit from a rising interest rate environment, a] rise in interest rates may cause our funding costs to increase if market conditions or the competitive environment induces us to raise our interest rates to avoid losing deposits, or replace deposits with higher-cost funding sources without offsetting increases in yields on interest-earning assets, which can reduce the benefit of higher market interest rates to our net interest revenue, as we experienced in [removed: 2022 and 2023.][added: recent years.]
The rapid increases in market interest rates [removed: recently] experienced [removed: have] [added: in 2022 and 2023] also contributed to increased unrealized losses on our investment [removed: securities portfolios.]
A rise in interest rates may also reduce our bank deposit account fee revenue, as clients may reallocate assets out of bank deposit account balances and into higher-yielding investment alternatives, as we experienced in [removed: 2022 and 2023.][added: recent years.]
The 2023 IDA agreement involves certain commitments, including the maintenance of prescribed minimum and maximum [removed: IDA balances,] [added: insured deposit account balances (IDA balances),] that limit our ability to respond to changes in interest rates and may impact our profitability and bank deposit account fee revenue.
Events affecting the financial services industry may also result in potentially adverse changes to laws or regulations governing banks and savings and loan holding companies or result in the imposition of restrictions through supervisory or enforcement activities, including higher capital or liquidity [removed: requirements,] [added: requirements or increased FDIC premiums and special assessments,] which could have a material impact on our business.
In addition, the cost of resolving the [removed: recent] [added: 2023] bank failures [removed: has] resulted in increased FDIC costs and may prompt the FDIC to further increase its premiums or to issue additional special assessments, which could have a material negative impact on our profitability and our business.
[removed: A] [added: While Schwab maintains diversified sources of funding, a] reduction in our liquidity position could reduce client confidence in us, which could result in the transfer out of client assets and accounts, or could cause us to fail to satisfy our liquidity requirements, including the LCR.
Factors which may adversely affect our liquidity position include CS&Co [removed: and TDAC] having temporary liquidity demands due to timing differences between brokerage transaction settlements and the availability of segregated cash balances, fluctuations in cash held in banking or brokerage client accounts, such as the significant client reallocation from sweep cash to higher-yielding investments that we experienced in [removed: 2022 and 2023] [added: recent years] in response to rapid interest rate increases, a dramatic increase in our lending [removed: activities (including margin, mortgage-related, and personal lending), increased capital requirements, changes in regulatory guidance or interpretations, other regulatory changes, or a loss of market or client confidence in us resulting in unanticipated withdrawals of client funds.]
Although [removed: CSC, CS&Co,] [added: CSC] and [removed: TDAC] [added: CS&Co] maintain [removed: uncommitted,] [added: multiple sources of external financing including] unsecured [added: uncommitted] bank credit lines and CSC has a commercial paper issuance program, as well as a universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC which can be used to sell securities, financing may not be available on acceptable terms or at all due to market conditions or disruptions in the credit markets.
When these outflows outpace excess cash on hand and cash generated by maturities and paydowns on our investment and loan portfolios, as they [removed: did] [added: have] in [removed: 2022 and 2023,] [added: recent years,] we may need to rely on [removed: temporary] supplemental funding, such as advances under Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) secured credit facilities, borrowings under repurchase agreements with external financial institutions, issuances of brokered certificates of deposit (CDs), or other sources of funding, which have higher costs and could be subject to limitations on availability.
In addition, to access new FHLB advances or roll over existing advances, our banking subsidiaries must maintain positive tangible capital, as defined by the Federal Housing Finance [removed: Agency.][added: Agency (FHFA).]
[removed: Recently,] [added: In recent years,] the SEC has proposed [removed: or adopted] a number of new rules, [removed: and these new or proposed rules involve sweeping changes] [added: such as its equity market structure proposals,] that [removed: could] [added: would] require [removed: significant shifts] [added: sweeping changes] in industry operations and practices, thereby increasing uncertainty for markets and investors.
The Uniform Net Capital Rule limits the ability of our broker-dealer [removed: entities] [added: subsidiary] to transfer capital to CSC and other affiliates.
Failure by either CSC or its banking subsidiaries to meet minimum capital requirements could [added: result in certain mandatory and additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a negative impact on us.]
At December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] CSC had approximately [removed: $493] [added: $480] billion in total assets and cross-jurisdictional activity of approximately [removed: $25] [added: $27] billion.
Our systems and those of other financial institutions, as well as those of our third-party service providers, have been and will continue to be the [added: frequent] target of cyber attacks, malicious code, computer viruses, ransomware, and denial of service attacks that could [added: result in unauthorized access, misuse, loss or destruction of data (including confidential client information), account takeovers, unavailability of service or other events.]
Security breaches, including breaches of our security measures or those of our third-party service [removed: providers or clients,] [added: providers,] could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws and could subject us to significant liability or loss that may not be covered by insurance, actions by our regulators, damage to our reputation, or a loss of confidence in our security measures which could harm our business.
We may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or to [removed: investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures.]
Losses reimbursed to clients under our guarantee against unauthorized account activity could have a negative impact on our business, financial [removed: condition] [added: condition,] and results of operations.
[removed: Cloud] [added: We have experienced, and could, in the future, experience cloud] service disruptions [removed: may] [added: that] lead to delays in accessing data that is important to our [removed: businesses and may hinder our clients’ access to our platforms.][added: businesses.]
We are also dependent on the integrity and performance of securities exchanges, clearing houses, market makers, dealers, and other intermediaries to which client orders are [added: routed for execution and settlement.]
[removed: We] [added: During the COVID-19 pandemic, we] temporarily lost the services from some of our outsourced service providers [removed: during the COVID-19 pandemic] which contributed to increased client service response and processing times.
Our margin, options and futures business has materially increased [added: in recent years] as a result of our [removed: TD] Ameritrade acquisition, and market liquidity represents an increased risk.
Further, we may not realize the anticipated benefits from an acquisition [removed: (including without limitation the acquisition of TD Ameritrade)] in a timely manner or at all, and any future acquisition could be dilutive to our current stockholders’ percentage ownership or to earnings per common share (EPS).
[removed: Among the factors] [added: Factors] that may affect [added: trading and] the volatility of our stock price [removed: are the following:][added: include:]
- Business metrics, such as client cash and net new client assets; [removed: and]
- Sales of a substantial number of shares [removed: of our common stock] by large [removed: stockholders.][added: stockholders;]

investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures.
Such disruptions, such as the broad-reaching cloud platform outages that impacted multiple industries in 2024, can and have hindered our clients’ access to our platforms.
We experienced in 2024 technology outages of client websites, mobile applications, and certain corporate technology as a result of technological issues with third-party service providers that we use to support websites and mobile applications used by us and our clients.
An internal issue or issues with vendor or industry systems and connectivity could materially impact our operations and ability to service clients, subject us to material losses, and cause reputational harm.
As a result of both broad-reaching and company-specific technology impacts from our third-party service providers, we have experienced in recent years outages of client websites, mobile applications, and certain corporate technology.
In addition, the FDIC recently proposed amending the brokered deposits framework setting forth its conditions for when broker-dealers, such as CS&Co, that place deposits with depository institutions through brokerage sweep arrangements qualify for the primary purpose exception from the definition of a deposit broker.

- Projections or the failure to meet projections;
- Securities analyst coverage, estimates and results versus estimates;
- Declaration of dividends and purchases under the Company’s share repurchase program;
- General stock market activity and industry developments; and
- Other Risk Factors described in this section.
Return of capital to stockholders may depend on our capital position, financial results, market conditions, legal restrictions, and other considerations, and the Company may not complete its full share repurchase authorization.
In addition, issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, including under incentive compensation plans or for acquisitions, could be substantially dilutive to holders of CSC’s common stock.
THE CHARLES SCHWAB CORPORATION
As a result of increased regulatory expectations regarding capital requirements applicable to the Company, we have been taking, and continue to take, measures to increase our capital, including the cessation of share repurchases.
When available cash is not sufficient for our liquidity needs, we may be required to seek external financing.
In addition, the U.S. Department of Labor recently proposed rules to significantly broaden the definition of “fiduciary” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, which, among other requirements, would subject broker-dealers who provide non-discretionary investment advice to retirement plans to a “best interest” standard.

routed for execution and settlement.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we had to replace certain vendor resources which added incremental complexity in earlier phases of our TD Ameritrade conversion work.
Risks Related to Our TD Ameritrade Integration
We are working to complete one of the largest brokerage account conversions and could experience unanticipated issues.
As part of our integration of TD Ameritrade, the Company expects to complete the remaining client transitions from TD Ameritrade to Schwab in a final transition group in May of 2024.
This final transition group includes our most active trader accounts which drive significant revenue for TD Ameritrade and are, therefore, important to the revenue of the combined company.
Although we have undertaken extensive planning and testing, the account transitions are complicated and we could experience issues which cause the final transition group or the remaining integration work to be delayed, or negatively impact the client experience.
Such issues could adversely impact client retention, integration-related costs, the timing for realizing synergies including those dependent on the wind-down of the operations of the TD Ameritrade broker-dealers, our reputation, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
We have experienced unanticipated issues earlier in the integration process that added complexity to our conversion work, including a need to increase capacity of our systems earlier in the integration process beyond our original technology build-out plan and other complexities of technology development.
Though technology development to support the remaining client account transitions is now substantially complete, unanticipated issues could arise, including in relation to the wind-down of certain technology used by our broker-dealer subsidiaries.
In connection with the completed 2023 transitions, the Company experienced attrition in client assets from former TD Ameritrade retail accounts and RIAs that was within our initial estimates when we announced the acquisition.
It is possible that the remaining integration process could result in the loss of clients, including to a greater degree than previously planned or experienced in relation to the 2023 client account conversions.
We expect to continue to incur significant costs in 2024 to finish combining the operations of Schwab and TD Ameritrade, including workforce, technology-related, and facilities consolidation costs.
Additional unanticipated costs may be incurred in the integration process.
If we are not able to successfully transition the remaining client accounts, and complete planned technology wind-down activities, within the anticipated time frames, the anticipated cost savings and other benefits of the merger may not be realized fully or may take longer to realize than expected.
We face competition in hiring and retaining qualified employees.
The market for qualified personnel in our business is highly competitive.
At various times, different functions and roles are in especially high demand in the market, compelling us to pay more to attract talent.
Our ability to continue to compete effectively will depend upon our ability to attract new employees and retain existing employees while managing compensation costs.

Our stock price can be volatile.
- Speculation in the investment community or the press about, or actual changes in, our competitive position, organizational structure, executive team, operations, financial condition, financial reporting and results, expense discipline, strategic transactions, the expected benefits from our TD Ameritrade acquisition, or ratings from third parties;
- Increases or decreases in revenue or earnings, changes in earnings estimates by the investment community, and variations between estimated financial results and actual financial results;
Changes in the stock market generally, or as it concerns our industry, as well as geopolitical, corporate, regulatory, business, and economic factors may also affect our stock price.
Future sales of CSC’s equity securities may adversely affect the market price of CSC’s common stock and result in dilution.
CSC’s certificate of incorporation authorizes CSC’s Board of Directors, among other things, to issue additional shares of common or preferred stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, without stockholder approval.
CSC may issue additional equity or convertible securities to raise additional capital or for other purposes.
The issuance of any additional equity or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to holders of CSC’s common stock and may adversely affect the market price of CSC’s common stock.
Our ongoing relationships with The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its affiliates could have a negative impact on us.
Although our acquisition of TD Ameritrade was structured such that completion of the merger would not result in CSC either (i) being deemed to be “controlled” (as that term is interpreted by the Federal Reserve under the BHC Act or HOLA) by The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank) or (ii) being deemed to be in “control” of any of TD Bank’s depository institutions, changes in circumstances could trigger presumptions of control under the Federal Reserve’s regulations.
This could occur if TD Bank and its affiliates own more than 9.9% of Schwab common stock, as interpreted in accordance with the applicable rules of the Federal Reserve.
While the Stockholder Agreement between CSC and TD Bank prohibits TD Bank and its affiliates from exceeding the 9.9% threshold, it could happen unintentionally.
This presumption of control could also be triggered if the revenue generated to either us or to any of the TD Bank depository institutions exceeds a certain percentage.
The Stockholder Agreement contains provisions to address such situations.

2024 Compared to 2023
Through an evolving macroeconomic landscape in 2024, Schwab continued its “Through Clients’ Eyes” strategy, striving to meet the needs of our diverse client base, while driving growth across multiple fronts and successfully completing the integration of Ameritrade.
Amid easing inflation, the Federal Reserve began in September to cut interest rates for the first time in over four years, reducing the federal funds overnight rate by a total of 100 basis points in the third and fourth quarters.
Equity markets were positive for the year in 2024, with the S&P 500® and the NASDAQ Composite® finishing the year higher by 23% and 29%, respectively.
Reflecting the strength of equity markets and organic asset gathering, total client assets rose to $10.10 trillion as of year-end 2024, up 19% from year-end 2023.
Core net new assets totaled $366.9 billion in 2024, up 20% from 2023, and representing an annualized growth rate of 4.3%.
Following the successful completion of our final Ameritrade client conversion in May, our organic growth trends strengthened, and core net new assets for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $114.8 billion, up 51% from the fourth quarter of 2023.
We saw strong client engagement in the markets throughout 2024, with acceleration in the fourth quarter; clients’ DATs were 5.9 million in full-year 2024 and 6.3 million in the fourth quarter, increasing 9% and 22%, respectively, from the same periods in 2023.
Clients opened 4.2 million new brokerage accounts in 2024, a year-over-year increase of 10%, and active brokerage accounts ended 2024 at 36.5 million, up 5% on the year.
The Company’s financial results in 2024 reflected the impact of positive equity markets, solid asset gathering, sustained client engagement, and improvement in client cash trends.
Net income totaled $5.9 billion in 2024, up 17% year-over-year, and diluted EPS was $2.99, an increase of 18% over the prior year.
Net interest revenue was $9.1 billion in 2024, down 3% from 2023, which reflected lower average interest-earning assets and higher rates on funding sources, partially offset by growth in margin and bank lending and lower bank supplemental funding.
Client cash realignment activity continued to decelerate in 2024, and principal and interest payments on the AFS and HTM investment securities portfolios supported reductions in bank supplemental funding balances.
Asset management and administration fees were $5.7 billion in 2024, increasing 20% from the prior year primarily as a result of growth in money market funds, equity market gains, and growth in managed investing solutions.
Trading revenue was $3.3 billion in 2024, up 1% from the prior year, reflecting higher volume and changes in mix of client trading activity.
Bank deposit account fee revenue totaled $729 million in 2024, up 3% year-over-year, due primarily to $97 million in breakage fees recognized in 2023, partially offset by lower average BDA balances.
BDA balances totaled $87.6 billion at December 31, 2024, down 10% from year-end 2023 primarily resulting from lower client cash allocations.
Total expenses excluding interest were $11.9 billion in 2024, down 4% from 2023.
This decrease reflected lower restructuring costs, lower acquisition and integration-related costs, and lower regulatory fees and assessments due primarily to a $172 million FDIC special assessment recognized in the fourth quarter of 2023 (see Current Regulatory and Other Developments).
These lower expenses were partially offset by higher incentive compensation, higher depreciation and amortization due to continued investment to support growth of the business, and higher other expense.
Other expense reflected higher industry fees resulting from the SEC’s May 2024 fee rate increase.
Adjusted total expenses (1) were $11.3 billion in 2024, up 2% from 2023.
Acquisition and integration-related costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and restructuring costs totaled $645 million in 2024, down 55% from 2023, as substantially all of the Company’s costs related to its restructuring were incurred in 2023, and spending for the Ameritrade integration decreased in 2024 as we completed the final integration activities.
Return on average common stockholders’ equity was 15% in 2024, down from 16% in 2023, and return on tangible common equity (1) (ROTCE) was 35% in 2024, down from 54% in 2023.
These changes reflect the benefit of higher net income in 2024 offset by higher average common stockholders’ equity.
Average common stockholders’ equity was higher year-over-year due to higher retained earnings as well as higher average AOCI.
The increase in average AOCI was driven by lower unrealized losses on our AFS investment securities portfolio and securities transferred in 2022 from AFS to HTM (see Item 8 – Note 21).
Employing our diligent approach to managing the balance sheet, Schwab supported client-driven growth in margin and bank lending, while reducing our bank supplemental funding in 2024.
Total balance sheet assets decreased 3% during the year, though margin lending grew to $83.8 billion at year-end 2024, up 34%, and bank loans increased to $45.2 billion, rising 12% during the year.
Principal and interest from our AFS and HTM securities portfolios, along with deceleration of client cash realignment from sweep products to higher-yielding investment solutions, supported a reduction in bank supplemental funding, which includes brokered CDs, FHLB borrowings, and borrowings under repurchase agreements at our banks.
Total bank supplemental funding ended 2024 at $49.9 billion, down $29.7 billion, or 37%, from year-end 2023, and down 49% from peak
levels in May 2023.

Although equity markets were volatile during 2023,
Company utilized supplemental funding sources, including FHLB borrowings and issuances of brokered CDs.
2022 Compared to 2021
Schwab’s 2022 financial results reflected strong performance against a challenging economic backdrop.
Our clients faced a very difficult environment throughout the year, encountering inflation and global economic concerns, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine exacerbating the impact.
Equity markets suffered their worst year since 2008, with the S&P 500® and NASDAQ Composite® contracting 19% and 33%, respectively, in 2022, while investor sentiment remained bearish throughout the year.
At the same time, the Federal Reserve raised short-term rates at the fastest pace in 40 years, ultimately increasing the Fed Funds rate seven times to reach an upper bound of 4.50% in December.
Additionally, uncertainty around future macroeconomic growth increased in the second half of the year, weighing on longer-term rates and leading to an inverted yield curve.
Through these challenges, clients continued to turn to Schwab for help in achieving their financial goals.
Core net new assets in 2022 totaled $427.7 billion, representing an organic growth rate of 5%, which included significant tax-related outflows in April.
Total client assets were $7.05 trillion at December 31, 2022, down 13% from year-end 2021, as market value declines of approximately $1.5 trillion in client assets more than offset the Company’s continued asset gathering during the year.
DATs in 2022 were 5.9 million, down 9% from the prior year, as trading volume subsided from the extraordinary levels seen in 2021.
New brokerage accounts were also down from the prior year, as clients opened 4.0 million new brokerage accounts in 2022; active brokerage accounts totaled 33.8 million at December 31, 2022, up 2% from year-end 2021.
Schwab’s financial performance in 2022 reflected the resiliency of our diversified financial model in a challenging macroeconomic environment and impacts from higher market interest rates.
Net income totaled $7.2 billion in 2022 and diluted EPS was $3.50, representing year-over-year growth of 23% and 24%, respectively.
Net interest revenue increased to $10.7 billion, rising 33% from 2021 as significantly higher market rates more than offset the impact of balance sheet contraction due to client cash allocation decisions.
Asset management and administration fees totaled $4.2 billion in 2022, down 1% year-over-year as lower market valuations throughout the year offset the benefit of lower money market fund fee waivers.
Trading revenue declined by 12% to $3.7 billion in 2022, due to lower DATs relative to the extraordinary trading volume seen in 2021 and changes in mix of client trading activity.
Bank deposit account fee revenue was $1.4 billion in 2022, up 7% from 2021 as higher average net yields more than offset lower average BDA balances.
BDA balances totaled $126.6 billion at December 31, 2022, down 20% from year-end 2021, reflecting client cash allocation decisions and migrations to our balance sheet.
Total expenses excluding interest amounted to $11.4 billion in 2022, increasing 5% from 2021, and adjusted total expenses (1) were $10.4 billion, up 7% from the prior year.
These increases reflected higher compensation and benefits expense and higher occupancy and equipment expense, as we continued to invest in our people and technology to support ongoing growth in our client base.
These increases were partially offset by lower other expense, which included a charge of approximately $200 million in 2021 for a regulatory matter settled in 2022.
Acquisition and integration-related costs and amortization of acquired intangibles were $392 million and $596 million, respectively, in 2022, compared with $468 million and $615 million, respectively, in 2021.
Return on average common stockholders’ equity grew to 18% in 2022 from 11% in 2021, while ROTCE (1) increased to 42% in 2022 compared with 22% in 2021.
The increases in both return on average common stockholders’ equity and ROTCE were due primarily to lower stockholders’ equity and growth in net income.
Stockholders’ equity declined in 2022 primarily due to a significant decrease in AOCI, as higher market interest rates resulted in larger unrealized losses on our AFS investment securities portfolio.
In January and November 2022, the Company transferred $108.8 billion and $79.8 billion, respectively, of investment securities from the AFS category to the HTM category (see Capital Management and Item 8 – Note 5).
The Company continued its diligent approach to balance sheet management in 2022, maintaining appropriate capital and liquidity to support client activity and returning excess capital to stockholders.

In June 2024, the FDIC adopted a new final rule with additional requirements for IDI resolution plans.
Under the new final rule, large banks with total assets of at least $100 billion are required to submit comprehensive resolution plans that meet enhanced standards.
These IDIs generally are required to submit a full resolution plan every three years under the new final rule with limited supplements filed in the off years.
Among other requirements, the final rule requires periodic testing to validate capabilities and processing needed in resolution, and the FDIC will make certain credibility assessments of the IDI resolution plan.
Under the new final rule, CSB is required to submit an IDI resolution plan to the FDIC on or before July 1, 2025.
In November 2023, the FDIC approved a special assessment to recover losses incurred by the DIF in 2023 to protect uninsured depositors due to the March 2023 closures of two banks.
In July 2024, the FDIC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the brokered deposits framework; see Part II – Item 7 – Current Regulatory and Other Developments for additional information regarding this proposed rulemaking.

Effective January 1, 2021, CSC changed the designation of its corporate headquarters from San Francisco, California to Westlake, Texas.
The Company maintains a nationwide presence across a network of branches and operations centers, as well as several international locations, and our Westlake location provides a centrally located hub for the Company.
TD Ameritrade provides securities brokerage services, including trade execution, clearing services, and margin lending; and futures and foreign exchange trade execution services.
TD Ameritrade has served individual retail investors and RIAs predominantly through the Internet, a national branch network, and relationships with RIAs.
TD Ameritrade’s sources of net revenues have primarily consisted of trading revenue, net interest revenue, bank deposit account fees, and asset management and administration fees, which are reflected in our consolidated results.
The acquisition of TD Ameritrade supports the Company’s ongoing efforts to enhance the client experience, to provide deeper resources for individual investors and RIAs including more robust trading capabilities, and to continue to improve our operating efficiency.
The Company has now completed the transition of RIAs and approximately 90% of all TD Ameritrade client accounts, and we expect to complete the remaining client transitions from TD Ameritrade to Schwab in a final transition group in May 2024.
The Company has made significant progress in its efforts to reduce overlapping or redundant roles across the two firms and has largely completed the rationalization of CS&Co and TD Ameritrade, Inc. branch locations.
Integration activities for the final client transition event and selective role reductions are expected to be completed in 2024.
The TD Ameritrade broker-dealers, TD Ameritrade, Inc. and TDAC, will continue to serve their remaining clients prior to the final transition event, and the Company plans to subsequently wind-down the operations of the TD Ameritrade broker-dealers in 2024.

capital.
Beginning with the first and second quarters of 2023, banking organizations subject to the rule are required to publicly disclose their quarterly NSFRs on a semi-annual basis.
The capital plan requirement became effective for CSC with the 2022 CCAR cycle, and in June 2022, the Company received the results of the Federal
Reserve’s 2022 CCAR.
Based on the results of the Federal Reserve’s 2023 CCAR, a 2.5% stress capital buffer continues to be applicable to Schwab for the four-quarter period that began October 1, 2023.
The single counterparty credit limits went into effect for CSC on January 1, 2022.
Under this requirement, CSB has been required to file with the FDIC a periodic resolution plan demonstrating how the bank could be resolved in an orderly and timely manner in the event of receivership such that the FDIC would be able to: ensure that the bank’s depositors receive access to their deposits within one business day; maximize the net present value of the bank’s assets when disposed of; and minimize losses incurred by the bank’s creditors.
In June 2021, the FDIC announced a modified resolution plan approach for insured depository institutions with total consolidated assets of $100 billion or more which established a three-year cycle submission frequency, streamlined content requirements, and placed enhanced emphasis on engagement with firms.
CSB most recently submitted a resolution plan pursuant to these requirements in November 2022.
In August 2023, the FDIC issued a proposal to revise its rule on insured depository institution resolution planning.
The proposal would revise the requirements regarding the content and timing of resolution submissions.
Covered insured depository institutions would be required to file their respective resolution plans or informational filings biennially with supplemental information to be provided in off-years, starting in 2025 if the rule is finalized as proposed.
In October 2023, the Federal Reserve, together with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC, issued a final rule that makes extensive revisions to the regulations implementing the CRA.

CSC’s Board of [removed: Directors] [added: Directors, supported by the Board Risk Committee,] oversees [removed: management’s processes for] [added: Schwab’s enterprise] risk [removed: management,] [added: management process] and [removed: the Risk Committee of the Board of Directors assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to managing risks,] [added: policies,] including cybersecurity risks.
Integrated within the Company’s overall enterprise risk management program, Schwab has an established information security program that [added: is regularly assessed against formal industry standards and] knits together complementary tools, controls, and technologies to protect systems, client [removed: accounts] [added: accounts,] and data.
We [removed: continuously monitor the] [added: deploy advanced monitoring] systems [added: to identify suspicious activity] and [added: deter unauthorized access by internal or external actors, and] work collaboratively with government agencies, law enforcement, and other financial institutions to address potential threats.
We also maintain policies, standards, and procedures, which apply to employees, contractors, and third parties, regarding the standard of care expected with all [added: of our] data, whether the data is internal company information, employee information, or non-public client information.
[removed: All employees] [added: Employees] who handle sensitive information are trained in privacy and [removed: security.][added: security, including training on recognizing social engineering.]
Our CISO has extensive experience assessing and managing cybersecurity risk, and is supported by a cybersecurity organization comprised of hundreds of professionals, many of whom hold various [removed: certifications] [added: certifications,] such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Certified Information Security Manager, and Certified in Risk and Information System Control.
Risk Factors for additional [removed: information] [added: discussion] on [removed: cybersecurity risk.][added: information security risks.]
Despite our efforts to protect our systems and data, there can be no assurance that we are able to maintain effective preventive measures against all cybersecurity risks, especially because attacks can originate from a wide variety of sources, and the techniques used change frequently and may not be immediately recognizable.
We evaluate and manage risk related to third-party vendors, assessing their cybersecurity programs and practices both prior to onboarding and over the term of service.
Our CISO and CIO regularly review our cybersecurity program and our prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation efforts with management level risk committees and the Board Risk Committee, and we maintain a process for timely escalation of significant risk events to senior management and the Board.

Rather than applying the specific guidance for TDRs, creditors will apply the recognition and measurement guidance for loan refinancings and restructurings to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Vintage Disclosures Requires that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost.
