What to Do When You Can’t Pay Your Schwab Bill

Customers can choose to pay any biller as long as they have an address where the payment can be sent. This includes paying common bills like electricity, cell phone and water/sewer along with personal payments and monetary gifts.
How to Pay the Bill

Typically, if a customer must add biller information, a physical check is sent to the biller, which delays payment. If the biller is on file with Charles Schwab bill pay, electronic payments may be available.
