- Tax payments
- College tuition
- Dream vacation
This flexible line of credit offers:
- Line amounts beginning at $100,000.

As a non-purpose line of credit, proceeds may not be used to purchase securities, pay down margin loans, or be deposited into any brokerage account.
Entering into a Pledged Asset Line and pledging securities as collateral involves a high degree of risk. You are pledging securities, the value of which is affected by events outside your control. Market fluctuations may cause the value of your pledged assets to decline. In addition, the Affiliated Banks, in its sole discretion, will determine at any time the eligible collateral criteria and the loan value of collateral. The Pledged Asset Line is uncommitted and the Affiliated Banks may demand full repayment at any time for any reason or no reason. In addition, if the loan value of collateral is insufficient to satisfy the minimum credit facility size or to support the outstanding loans, the Affiliated Banks may demand immediate payment of all or any portion of the outstanding obligations, or require additional cash or securities be pledged; otherwise the Affiliated Banks may immediately sell some or all of the pledged securities without further notice to you, which may result in tax consequences.
A Pledged Asset Line requires a brokerage account ("the Pledged Account") at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and sufficient eligible collateral to support a minimum credit facility size of $100,000. The Affiliated Banks are not acting or registered as securities broker-dealers or investment advisors.
Pledged Asset Lines to be held individually, jointly by natural persons, or by revocable trusts are offered by Charles Schwab Bank, SSB. Pledged Asset Lines to be held by incorporated organizations, non-incorporated organizations, or irrevocable trusts (collectively "entities") are offered by Charles Schwab Premier Bank, SSB.
All loans are subject to credit and collateral approval. Before you decide to apply for a Pledged Asset Line, make sure you understand the risks.
The advertised Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is an estimate reflecting the average borrowers cost expressed as a percentage. The APR will be set during underwriting and is based on the loan value of collateral at the time of origination. Your individual rate may vary. The APR is variable and may change weekly based on the current market rate of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).
