SchwabSafe^® Traveling Tips

Before you travel:

Pack your laptop

• If you have a laptop, bring it. Using your personal computer is usually more secure than a public one. Update your laptop’s anti-virus, browser, and other software before leaving.

Away from home:

Make your login more secure

• Memorize, rather than write down, your login ID and password.

Be aware of security when you’re online

• Remember to log out of SchwabPlan.com after every session.
• Report any email that says it’s from Schwab and asks for personal financial information at 800-724-7526.
• Avoid using unsecured wireless networks. These are networks that you, and others, can access without a password.

If you suspect identity theft or unauthorized access to your account, it is important to act quickly.
