Summary
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
enterprise legacy
CHARLES-SCHWAB is the corporate network of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., the San Francisco-headquartered brokerage and financial-services firm. This is an in-house enterprise AS, not a service provider.
What it's used for
- Announcing Schwab's own corporate and customer-facing infrastructure: the bulk of the routed space sits inside
162.93.0.0/16, a block ARIN registered to Schwab in 1992. - Reverse DNS on the announced prefixes resolves under
schwab.com, confirming this is Schwab's own estate rather than leased-out address space.
Notable
- A classic institutional-enterprise AS: a large legacy
/16announced as several dozen smaller prefixes, all pointing back to one company. - The registrant address on file is Schwab's 211 Main Street, San Francisco headquarters.
- Financial-sector enterprises of this era commonly took direct ARIN allocations and their own AS number rather than riding a carrier's addressing, and this is a textbook example.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
