Overall satisfied

Overall the process had ups and downs, but what they really get right is having a single poc that helps guide you through it all. Ours was nelza and she was amazing. All said and done, I'd say this is one of the better custodians out there, I'd definitely recommend.

I called in and needed help with an IRA deposit and capital one account login. Morgan Appeldorn was my service agent and did an outstanding job of explaining the issue and helping me resolve it really quickly. Thanks to her I was able to make my IRA contribution before the IRS deadline.

Customer Representative Help

Suvie Fogelman, the customer representative I spoke with today was fantastic. I had numerous questions and issues and she was able to help me with all of them.
Unfortunately she was not able to resolve some issues, but I have great confidence she is getting the right parties involved to get them resolved.

Morgan A made my experience 5 STAR.

Morgan A made my experience worthy of a 5 star rateing. I am not very computer literate so identifying, finding and filling out the forms I needed was very challenging. Morgan was very helpful. She gave me all of the instruction I needed and helped me fill out the deposit form and the 3 distribution forms (2 charitable and one for a distribution to me).I was soooo impressed with Morgan A.

I called in for help... and Morgan delivered

I called in for help to set up my Roth SDIRA as a legal entity on a broker site as part of the information required to purchase two private equity investment funds. Morgan Appeldorn was ready to help, had all the answers, sent me the bank details, and had a great attitude. Very much appreciated and well done, Morgan!

Explanation, process and flow made easy

I am not familiar with 401K , I don’t speak or understand the language , procedures , rules and regulations. Tamara Perez was so patient and understanding of my lack of understanding and knowledge. Tamara explained the process and the why’s. Each step addressing more concerns with patience and understanding, saying no worries. If her management can do anything to provide her with a reward of some sort , she went above and beyond her job

Extremely long delays in processing

The concept of what they offer is great, but their level of service is currently very poor. They've been holding onto $50,000 which I sent them a month ago, which I was told would take about five days to get processed and wired out to the VC firm I'm investing with. I'm told they aren't even monitoring the e-mail address given to me, as they can't handle the volume of mail coming in. I can't get a live person when I call, and am routinely having to leave a voicemail after waiting on hold for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, they're making interest on my money as it just sits in their corp bank account. I'd suggest looking at other providers.

I spoke with Jill. She set up an appointment tomorrow to speak with a specialist for the questions that I have. She was very pleasant. Although I was told the way time was 3 it was much longer.
