Access the portfolio's value with a flexible line of credit from Schwab Bank.
To help investors tap into the value of their investments and access cash for personal or business needs, generally without having to sell securities, Schwab Bank offers a Pledged Asset Line6, a non-purpose line of credit that allows clients to borrow against the non-retirement assets in their portfolio.
Secured by assets held in a separate Pledged Account maintained by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., clients can use their line of credit to access the funds they need while maintaining their investing strategy.
This non-purpose line of credit can be used for a wide range of financial needs:
- Bridge funding for a new home
- Home renovation
- New business startup
- Tax payments
- College tuition
- Dream vacation
This flexible line of credit offers:
- Line amounts beginning at $100,000 with a minimum initial advance requirement of $70,000.
- Competitive variable rates, based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus an interest rate spread.
- Interest charges only on the amount of the line used.
- Line access via checks or wire transfers.
- No set-up fees or prepayment penalty. Brokerage fees and commissions may apply.
Entering into a Pledged Asset Line and pledging securities as collateral involve a high degree of risk. At any time, including in the event that the loan value of collateral is insufficient to satisfy the minimum loan value of collateral or to support the outstanding loans, Schwab Bank may demand immediate payment of all or any portion of the outstanding obligations, or require additional cash or securities to be added to the Pledged Account maintained at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. If a Demand is not addressed, the pledged securities may be immediately liquidated without further notice to you, which may result in tax consequences.

Rocket Mortgage verifies the home buyer's income, reviews credit, and underwrites the proposed loan without an identified property. Not all properties are eligible.

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.

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. Brokerage products, including the Pledged Account, are offered by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., Member SIPC and are not insured by the FDIC, are not deposits or obligations of Affiliated Banks, and are subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal invested. The Affiliated Banks are not acting or registered as securities broker-dealers or investment advisors.
