As a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), securities customers of Charles Schwab are protected with coverage of up to US$500,000 (including US$250,000 for claims for cash).

Are Charles Schwab brokerage accounts considered offshore accounts?

Charles Schwab Hong Kong brokerage accounts are not offshore brokerage accounts. Offshore brokerage account refers to a brokerage account opened in a jurisdiction outside of Hong Kong. Offshore accounts are not for everyone, but they can be useful if you are planning to live in another country, study/ work abroad or access international investment opportunities. However, money held in an offshore savings account is not protected in the same way a local bank account does. Therefore, before opening an account, you should check with your provider to see if your money will be protected by a different compensation scheme.
