Summary
The Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) has announced the successful issuance of $2 billion in senior notes through a public offering on November 14, 2025. This issuance comprises $1 billion of 4.343% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2031 and $1 billion of 4.914% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2036. The net proceeds from this offering are approximately $1.986 billion, after accounting for underwriting discounts and offering expenses.
