Fidelity has been great for me. Schwab or Vanguard are fine too. Wealthfront is not a reliable brokerage.

Fidelity, Schwab or Vanguard. Other decent choices also but those 3 would be more suggestions.

like

Agree - Schwab and Fidelity also both have free checking accounts with unlimited ATM fee rebates worldwide. Actually saves me quite a bit, especially when I travel.

I don’t know much about wealthfront. I’ve used Schwab for 10 years and it has been great. Fidelity and vanguard would also be similar.

All products and offerings are the same across the largest brokerages. I like Schwab because I can get someone intelligent on the phone when I call.

like

Wealthfront has a poor interface..

Fidelity is the best.

like

Fidelity by far and Schwab in 2nd place. Awful user experience with Vanguard and Wealthfront.

like

I chose Fidelity, which I’ve grown to love.

Their phone app was super confusing at first but it was honestly because I didn’t understand the services. After months of calling my dad and asking dumb questions I now have 6 accounts.

Anyways the good brokerages (Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard) are probably gonna require a couple of YouTube videos, but it’s worth it in the end because the functionality is enhanced over the prettier app first platforms (Wealthfront etc.).
