CSV EXPORT

ABOUT Charles Schwab

A bit about Charles Schwab

Charles Schwab was founded in San Francisco in 1971 and pioneered discount brokerage. It completed its acquisition of TD Ameritrade in October 2020 — if your accounts haven't fully migrated, check whether Plaid still lists them under TD Ameritrade instead of Schwab.

AI ACCESS

Ask your assistant about your Charles Schwab accounts

Once Charles Schwab is in Hunch, connecting an AI assistant is one extra step — add Hunch as a connector to any MCP-compatible assistant, and it can read balances, transactions, and spending trends. Still read-only, still revocable.

Answer questions about your budget, goals, and net worth
See every account you've linked to Hunch, not just Charles Schwab
Be revoked in about a minute, any time

IT CAN'T

Change your Charles Schwab settings or account details
See your Charles Schwab username, password, or PIN
Act on your accounts without you asking it something first

HISTORY WINDOW

FAQ

Charles Schwab + Hunch, answered

Does my AI assistant ever see my Charles Schwab password?

No. Charles Schwab sign-in happens through Plaid — either a redirect to Charles Schwab's own site or a form inside Plaid's widget — and Hunch only ever receives a read-only data token. Your assistant never sees a password, and neither does Hunch.

Can my AI assistant move money out of my Charles Schwab account?

No. The Hunch connector is read-only. It can't initiate a transfer, pay a bill, or change anything in your Charles Schwab account — the most it can do is describe what it sees.

How far back can it see my Charles Schwab transactions?

That's set by your Hunch plan's history window, not by Charles Schwab. Check the plans page for the exact number of months on each tier.

Does this work for Charles Schwab credit cards too?

Not from this specific Charles Schwab connection — see the sync table above for exactly what's included today.

Does it see my Charles Schwab investments?

Yes — both investment transactions and full holdings sync from Charles Schwab.

What if Charles Schwab doesn't show up when I try to connect?

Search by the exact name shown on this page — some banks list several entries in Plaid for different products. If it still doesn't appear, import a CSV statement instead and let us know which bank you'd like added.

Does Charles Schwab work with Plaid?

Yes — Hunch verified Charles Schwab's Plaid connection on July 30, 2026. It currently syncs Transactions, Account balances, Investment transactions, Full holdings & securities.

How do I export transactions from Charles Schwab?

Can chat see my bank account?

Yes — once you connect a bank account to Hunch, any AI assistant you've added as a connector can read its balances and transactions. It can't see anything you haven't connected, and it can't move money.

Can I ask chat about my spending?

Yes — that's the main use case. Ask things like "what did I spend on groceries last month" or "am I over budget" and it reads live from Hunch.

Does this work with chat gpt?

Yes. ChatGPT is one of two assistants with a full walkthrough on this site — Claude is the other — but Hunch's connector is built on MCP, the open standard, so it works with any compatible assistant.
