Are Schwab's ATM-fee rebates preserved in the export?

Yes. The dedicated 'ATM Fees Rebated' section is parsed alongside the main Transaction Detail block and rebate rows are exported as positive entries — the net cost of ATM access reconciles correctly without manual offset calculations.

Will High Yield Investor Checking statements convert?

Yes. The single-block Transaction Detail layout is the cleanest US retail statement format — reconciliation converges on the first pass with a Verified badge in 2-3 seconds.

How are monthly interest postings on Investor Savings handled?

As their own transaction row with 'Interest Earned' in Description. A year of statements gives you 12 interest rows to sum for a 1099-INT-ready total.

Can I batch Schwab Checking and Savings together?

Yes. Drop up to 10 Schwab PDFs in one upload mixing High Yield Investor Checking and Investor Savings — each parses independently and downloads as separate XLSX/CSV/QBO files in a single ZIP.

Products we've parsed

Schwab Bank High Yield Investor Checking, Schwab Bank Investor Savings, Schwab Brokerage Cash Sweep, Schwab Pledged Asset Line

Schwab Bank's High Yield Investor Checking is the product most people associate with Schwab — famous for unlimited ATM-fee rebates worldwide. The statement ships with a dedicated 'ATM Fees Rebated' section that inverts the fees paid during the cycle. The parser keeps the rebate rows as positive entries in the export so the net cost of ATM access reconciles correctly.

Transaction Detail is a single chronological running-balance ledger — the cleanest layout of any US retail bank PDF we handle. Schwab doesn't split deposits and withdrawals into separate blocks, so reconciliation is effectively one pass with no merge step.

Investor Savings statements include monthly interest postings as their own rows. The exported XLSX keeps interest entries separate from transfers — a year of statements adds up to a ready 1099-INT total.

Where Charles Schwab PDFs trip up manual conversion

Format-specific quirks that break naive PDF parsers — and how the reconciliation pipeline handles each one.

Unlimited ATM rebate posts as a separate row at month-end

Schwab High Yield Investor Checking refunds every ATM fee, posted as a single rebate row at month-end with a description like 'ATM Fee Rebate'. The aggregated rebate amount differs from the sum of individual ATM-fee debits earlier in the cycle if a fee was waived in advance. The parser preserves both the per-transaction ATM-fee rows and the month-end rebate row, and adds a derived 'net ATM cost' metadata column so reconciling against an external travel-expense spreadsheet works without manual netting.

Brokerage sweep transfers create paired entries

Schwab Bank automatically sweeps idle Checking balances above a threshold into the linked brokerage Cash Sweep — generating paired debits/credits across two account statements (bank PDF + brokerage statement). The bank PDF only shows the debit side, with description 'Transfer to Brokerage'. Cross-account reconciliation that ignores the linked brokerage statement appears to lose money. The parser preserves the transfer reference number so the matching credit can be found on the brokerage side without manual cross-walking.

Foreign-currency transactions show no FX markup

Schwab Bank waives the standard 1-3% foreign-transaction fee, so international debit-card charges post with the converted USD amount but no separate FX-markup row that other banks include. Parsers that expect to find an FX-fee line and use its absence as a parsing-error signal will flag every Schwab international transaction as suspect. The parser knows Schwab's fee-free behaviour and doesn't expect the FX line — international rows reconcile cleanly without false-positive warnings.

Password-protected bank statement PDFs: how to convert them safely without uploading the password to a stranger

Most banks ship encrypted statement PDFs by default. The conversion is easy when you have the password and impossible when you don't, but the part that matters most is what happens to the password during the conversion itself.
