AI Overview
To get higher interest on cash in a Charles Schwab trading account, you can: switch from the default sweep program to a money market fund, purchase a broker-sold certificate of deposit (CD), or consider the Schwab One Interest Feature for a tiered rate on your free credit balance. You can access these options on Schwab's website under the "Cash Features" section.
Options for Higher Interest

Invest in a Schwab money market fund, which typically offers a higher yield than the default cash sweep program.

If your account is eligible, select this option to earn a tiered interest rate on your free credit balance directly with Schwab.
