Your Opportunity

Retirement Business Services (RBS), provides trust, custody, trading, and technical services as Charles Schwab Trust Bank (CSTB). Cash Operations’ goal is to meet the needs of RBS by providing superior client service as it relates to the processing of incoming and outgoing cash activity and all associated regulatory and tax reporting. We also handle relationships with internal business partners, maintain and test various internal and vendor-supplied systems, and ensure compliance with all governing regulations and requirements. Our primary objective is to successfully process significant cash activity for RBS, in accordance with client directives, while maintaining proper controls to mitigate risk to the firm.

The specific teams within Cash Operations are the Cash Management Team, which is responsible for processing contributions, sending wires and ACH and daily communication with various departments. Additionally, a major objective is to process significant cash activity for RBS and still maintain proper controls to mitigate risk to the firm. The Distributions Team is responsible for the fulfillment of disbursements and distributions (including returned/rejected payments), facilitating and aligning with OFAC requirements, completing special handling requests, processing incoming mail and effectively communicating with various departments daily. The RBS Tax Team is within the RBS Cash Operations group and is responsible for tax withholding and reporting functions to ensure compliance with Federal and State tax rules and regulations as they pertain to CSTB. The Revenue Management team is responsible for creating quarterly and off-cycle invoices and collecting payments for each invoice. Additionally, they provide timely reporting on fees paid by our clients as it pertains to regulatory code 408b2 and 5500 Schedule C reporting.
