why fidelity

  • Automatic sweep of uninvested cash into money market funds
    • FWIW, this is not available in Schwab. [asof | 2023-09-21]
  • Customer service is great. [today | 2023-09-22, 2024-02-20]
  • Treasuries can be automatically rolled over. [today | 2023-12-29]
  • [today | 2024-02-20] It has a cool feature called “Full View” wherein you can add all your other accounts (brokerage, 401k, bank accounts etc.,) and track your net worth. It is free.

Fidelity vs. Schwab

  • Fidelity offers true treasury autoroll with no time out of the market. Schwab keeps your money out of the market 1 week and gives no interest.
  • Fidelity will autoliquidate retail money market funds to settle withdrawals, ACH payments and security purchases. So you can keep money in a higher yielding money market fund instead of a settlement fund. Schwab does not offer this, and requires a manual sale of a money market fund.

linking a bank account

On 2023-07-xx, I tried to link CFCU checking account to Fidelity brokerage account in order to do an EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer). But I could not do it since Fidelity is asking for CFCU account's credentials. It is asking for this even when I chose “Enter my bank information on my own” instead of choosing “Log into my bank account with Plaid”.

This issue seems to be specific to (Fidelity, CFCU). I was able to link accounts at other banks such as TD Bank, Capitalone to Fidelity without any issues.

I am not comfortable giving my bank account credentials to Fidelity.

Solution 1: I called Fidelity the customer service. The representatives suggested to fill out a paper form, scan it and mail it to them. This form can be found as follows:

Login into fidelity.com → search for 'forms' in the top right 'Search or get a quote' bar → click on 'Online Forms and Applications' → All Forms → pg-6 → Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) → Download the PDF

Solution 2: Work around it by transferring money to a different bank (ex:- CFCU → Capitalone → Fidelity).
