I think Etrade was the first in Asia (late 1996 or early 1997). Didn't know about Schwab 1995, they'd have to be earlier then.... Fidelity was in Hong Kong but not very online. They had sites where you could track portfolios,I think, but no on-line trading. Anyway, the internet revolution isn't as strong in Asia as it is in say Europe, so the revnue would have to be lower, much lower. But they're in early and get to shape consumer behavior to a large extent. That must count for something.
