I would imagine that being it is a debit card with a PIN it should also work as chip and PIN, right?
Not necessarily for purchases. Unattended cash is a different CVM list entry all credit cards have as PIN...

Schwab chose to be stupid and use signature for purchases which really sucks.

Seriously, the aggravation is just not worth it.
Schwab should be the one you need.
