The company was founded as Ameritrade in 1971. In 2006, it acquired the U.S. operations of TD Waterhouse and was then renamed to TD Ameritrade. In 2007 TD Ameritrade had a security breach where customer information was stolen by hackers. In October of 2020 Charles Schwab acquired TD Ameritrade. The integration of the two companies hasn’t been completed yet, but it’s expected to happen within the next three years. Charles Schwab intends on the thinkorswim app and other TD Ameritrade technologies remaining integrated.
