Schwab in Central Europe

[otctrade]

https://international.schwab.com/open-account-intro

Has anyone from the Czech Republic or Austria tried to open an account @ Schwab ? I noticed recently that choosing either Austria or the Czech Republic allow the account opening process to continue, while other countries like Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Hungary etc return a "Schwab currently cannot open accounts for residents of your country/region." message.

The following European Countries are allowed to proceed to Step 1 of the sign-up process :

- Austria
- Belgium
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Finland
- Germany
- Iceland
- Jersey
- Luxembourg
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland(non-EU)
- UK(non-EU)

Great. The majority of countries on that list has just been opened up. It used to be only a handfuld.
