I signed up for Schwab (and numerous other financial institutions that were not "banks" per se) without having to go to a branch in person. You usually just submit photos of documents and, in some cases, have your picture taken at your computer.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoAh, yeah, that was the issue; I didn't have documents. I now remember that I could've signed up entirely online, had I had them.
- tekknik 5y agoCongrats, now those docs are stored in a database. Good luck getting them deleted.

- tekknik 5y agoThey certainly don't scan and save images of your identifying documents when you go into the branch. They may store your DL and SSN number. This is a lot less than you volunteering up your identifying documents to a public webserver.
