Did you open a Schwab brokerage account or added a Schwab checking account to the brokerage account?

I had the brokerage account for many years (since their 2% cash back credit cards days). I used their check card with that. I need a chip card so they told me that is available only on their checking account, so I opened a checking account and my brokerage card was cancelled, but I still had a money market account. Lately I am finding that the brokerage account "checking account" is far superior to the Schwab bank checking account. I needed to wire funds. I found I could do this on-line from my Schwab brokerage account but not the Schwab bank checking account. I would have preferred the other way for maintaining security of my security holdings! I plan to cancel my checking account some time in the summer and go for the magnetic swipe check card. The chip check card is not worth it.
