    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)
