Select business and consumer practices[edit | edit source]
Interest rates charged[edit | edit source]
Charles Schwab may be charging customers an interest rate higher than the maximum rate permitted by statutory laws in certain jurisdictions within the United States. For example, the 2024 Maryland Code, Commercial Law § 12-102[1], sets a maximum interest rate of 6% per annum. However, Charles Schwab does not explicitly state that it restricts its interest rates from exceeding 6% for customers residing in Maryland. It is worth noting, however, that other companies offering brokerage services also publicly advertise similarly high (and less favorable) interest rates to customers. As of February 2025, the publicly accessible website for Charles Schwab lists a margin loan interest rate ranging from 10.825% to 12.575%.[2]
