TD Ameritrade /
Charles Schwab
Merger

Following the TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab merger announced back in 2021, they have now officially set a transition date scheduled to take place during Labor Day weekend 2023. As of right now, Schwab is communicating that no repapering will be needed for your accounts during this transition. However, your account number WILL CHANGE from a nine-digit account number to an-eight digit account number.

We have created this informational hub to keep you informed about all facets of the conversion of your accounts from the TD Ameritrade platform to Charles Schwab. As always, feel free to reach out to us at 717-736-7007 if you have any additional concerns.
