What is iTrustCapital (brief)?

iTrustCapital is a fintech platform that enables investors to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies and physical precious metals within tax-advantaged retirement accounts (such as traditional and Roth IRAs) and non-IRA accounts. The service acts as a software front-end connecting users to third-party custodians and storage providers so you can trade 24/7 while the underlying custody, compliance, and storage functions are handled by institutional partners. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

  2. Enter credentials: Provide the email and password you used when creating the account.
  3. Two-factor authentication (if enabled): Complete any 2FA step such as a one-time code. iTrustCapital encourages standard security practices; check the account security settings for available options. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  4. Account dashboard: After successful sign-in you’ll land on your dashboard where you can view balances, recent trades, funding options, and account statements.
Sign-in troubleshooting: If you forget your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page to request a reset email.

Account types: IRA vs Non-IRA (what’s available)

iTrustCapital supports multiple account types. The primary differentiator is tax treatment and rules:

  • Crypto IRAs (Traditional/Roth/SEP/Simple): Purchase and hold approved cryptocurrencies and certain precious metals inside a tax-advantaged retirement account. Contributions and distributions follow IRS rules for IRAs. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
  • Non-IRA brokerage-style accounts (PCAs / taxable): For investors who want immediate taxable ownership outside of retirement vehicles. Availability and naming may vary on the platform. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Opening an account typically involves personal information for onboarding and, for IRAs, selecting the IRA custodian type and funding method (cash contribution, transfer, or rollover). iTrustCapital’s help center has step-by-step guides for each onboarding path. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum & other cryptos — dashboard basics

Once signed in you’ll see balances by asset, aggregate portfolio value, and navigation for buy/sell, funding, and account statements. Key actions you can perform from the dashboard include:

  • Buy and sell crypto 24/7: iTrustCapital supports round-the-clock trading of a curated list of cryptocurrencies. The platform routes orders to liquidity providers and executes on your behalf within the custody framework. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
  • View price charts and transaction history: Each asset page includes price data and a history of your trades and transfers.
  • Account statements & tax docs: Exportable statements are available to support tax reporting and IRA compliance. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Example: buying Bitcoin or Ethereum

  1. Fund your account (bank transfer, rollover, or another accepted funding method).
  2. Choose the asset (BTC or ETH) on the Markets or Buy page.
  3. Enter the amount (USD or crypto units) and review the estimated execution price, fees, and route.
  4. Confirm the purchase — the order executes and the asset appears in your IRA or PCA balance. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Manage Gold & Silver inside IRAs

iTrustCapital offers the ability to buy and hold physical gold and silver (often via allocated or allocated-style storage agreements) within retirement accounts through partnered precious-metals providers. The platform markets a straightforward pricing model and 24/7 trading for precious metals similar to crypto. Details include product types, premiums over spot, and storage arrangements. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

Practical note: precious-metal orders typically include a premium over spot per ounce (for gold and silver) and the platform will show the total cost before confirmation. Storage and custody of physical metals are arranged through the platform’s partners — read the precious metals product pages and custody disclosures for full details. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

Fees & pricing — what to expect

iTrustCapital emphasizes a simple fee structure. The most commonly discussed elements are:

  • Crypto transaction fee: iTrustCapital charges a flat percentage fee on crypto trades (public reviews and the platform’s pricing pages commonly cite a 1% crypto trading fee as the baseline; always confirm the live rate on the pricing page before trading). :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
  • Precious metals premiums: For gold and silver there is a premium above spot per ounce (examples cited in reviews and the site give specific dollar amounts per ounce). These premiums cover sourcing and storage. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
  • No recurring platform fees (typically): Many published reviews note the platform does not charge ongoing monthly account maintenance fees, but always verify the most current fee schedule on iTrustCapital’s pricing and support pages. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
Important: Fees and premiums change over time. Before placing orders review the fee breakdown shown at checkout — iTrustCapital displays estimated execution prices that include platform fees and any asset-specific markups. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

Custody & security model

iTrustCapital positions itself as a fintech software platform that connects investors to institutional custodians and storage providers (not an exchange or custodian itself). This “closed-loop” setup means custody and storage are handled by regulated, third-party custodians or partnered storage providers while iTrustCapital provides the user interface, trading engine, and account servicing. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}

What that means for users

  • Institutional custody: Underlying assets are held by third-party custodians or secure storage providers (for precious metals). Reputable custody reduces some operational risks but does not remove the importance of platform-level security. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
  • Account protections: iTrustCapital documents and support pages explain how funds are segregated and how custody relationships work — review those disclosures to understand legal title, storage, and distribution processes. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}

Best practices: account security & operational tips

  • Use strong, unique passwords: Protect your account with a strong, unique password and change it if you suspect compromise.
  • Enable two-factor authentication: Where available, enable 2FA for sign-in and account changes. Check support docs for supported methods. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}
  • Verify URLs & emails: Access the platform only via the official domain (itrustcapital.com and app.itrustcapital.com) and be cautious of phishing emails that impersonate support. :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}
  • Keep records for tax reporting: Export transaction history and statements for tax and compliance purposes — the platform provides reporting tools for account activity. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
  • Understand IRA rules: If using IRA accounts, be aware of contribution limits, required minimum distributions (RMDs) when applicable, and early withdrawal penalties — consult a tax advisor for personal guidance. :contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}

How iTrustCapital compares to typical crypto exchanges

Key differences to be aware of:

  • Fee structure: iTrustCapital’s flat-fee crypto trades and metal premiums are structured differently from maker/taker or trading-fee models used by spot exchanges — review examples to know which is cheaper for your use case. :contentReference[oaicite:29]{index=29}
