Force quit the Schwab app
Swipe the Schwab app away in the app switcher, then open it again. On iPhone, swipe up from the bottom edge and flick the app card off the screen; on Android, open Recents and swipe it away. This clears a stuck login or blank screen without changing anything.
Switch to cellular data
Load the Schwab app or mobile site over cellular data instead of Wi-Fi. Open Control Center on iPhone or Quick Settings on Android and turn off Wi-Fi; on iPhone, Settings > Wi-Fi is another way. If the app works, restart your router; on iPhone, use Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the info button beside the network, then choose Forget This Network.
Clear cookies for the Schwab site
In Chrome, open the three-dot menu, choose More tools > Clear browsing data, pick Cookies and other site data plus Cached images and files, and set the time range to All time. On Safari, go to Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data, find the Schwab entries, and remove them; on iPhone use Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Sign in once more.
Reinstall the Schwab app
Delete the Schwab app and install it again from the App Store or Google Play. This removes a damaged local cache and resets app permissions; you will need your Schwab login details.
While Charles Schwab is down: what to use instead
- Schwab website Use the website from a browser if the app will not load or sign-in fails.
- Schwab phone line Call if both fail.
- Debit card Pay with your debit card or take cash from an ATM if you have one and online banking is unavailable.
- Fidelity If you already hold an account at Fidelity, use its app or site to place a time-sensitive trade while this service is down and you cannot reach your account here.
What happens when Charles Schwab goes down
Charles Schwab is a brokerage and banking service people use for trading and retirement accounts. An outage interrupts sign-in and order placement, and it can leave people unable to check balances or move money when they need to act.
When the service has problems, sign-in often fails first, and the app may show a blank screen or a generic technical error before the website does. Quotes can freeze or lag, so order tickets stall and balances look stale; transfers or bill payments may not confirm, and some people get logged out mid-session while others get in fine. Card authorizations and mobile check deposit can also fail at the point of use. Problems tend to be partial and regional; one person can hit a dead end while another reaches the same account without trouble.

How we track Charles Schwab
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Charles Schwab, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Charles Schwab, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Charles Schwab doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
