## Which Charles Schwab fax number should I use?

For the options trading and margin application, use the number in that form’s return instructions. Written inquiries about a Schwab Bank Visa debit card use the bank’s separate line. An account transfer, IRA request or other brokerage form needs its own current return instructions; the options form does not establish that all Schwab documents are accepted by fax.

## Options and margin application

E.164: +18885267252

Toll-free number; service and international charges may still apply.

Return fax for the options trading and margin application.

Use only when: Check the return instructions on your exact Schwab form; this listing does not establish that every account instruction can be faxed.

## What to include in your fax to Charles Schwab

Send the completed options and margin application, including its required signatures, to the form’s destination. For a debit-card inquiry, identify the transaction or issue and follow the bank agreement’s instructions for supporting documents.

## Check the destination and prepare your cover page

Address the cover to the brokerage forms team or Schwab Bank, as appropriate. Name the exact form or debit-card enquiry, include the requested account or case reference and a callback number, and count the enclosed pages. Check the number against that form or the bank agreement.

Check the official source and recipient instructions before sending. A reviewed source confirms a published number, not live availability.

## Confirm delivery and follow up with Charles Schwab

These are fax destinations, not voice support lines. Keep the transmission result and a copy of the documents.
