Secure Sign-In — Step-by-Step
- Open the official site or app: Type the iTrustCapital URL directly or use the official mobile app. Avoid links from unsolicited emails or messages.
- Enter credentials: Input your registered email address and password. Use passwords unique to your financial accounts.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA): If 2FA is enabled (highly recommended), enter the code from your authenticator app or SMS when prompted. Prefer authenticator apps (TOTP) over SMS for stronger security.
- Device verification: Confirm any device or browser verification prompts. Mark trusted devices only if you understand the security trade-offs.
- Access dashboard: After successful authentication you will land on your account dashboard with balances, recent activity, and navigation to trading, funding, and settings.
Setting Up Your Account (If You’re New)
If you haven't created an iTrustCapital account yet, the sign-up process usually involves identity verification (KYC), selection of account type (Traditional IRA, Roth IRA), completing custodial paperwork, and linking a funding source. Typical steps include:
- Create a secure account with a unique password and verified email.
- Complete identity verification by providing required documents (ID, SSN, etc.).
- Choose your account type and complete any custodian or beneficiary forms.
- Link a bank account for funding or set up transfers for rollovers/roll-ins from existing retirement accounts.
- Enable security features such as 2FA and review account access controls.
Because account opening often involves legal and tax paperwork, allow some time for verification and custodial setup before attempting trades.
Funding Your IRA & Buying Assets
After signing in and completing account setup, you can fund your IRA using methods supported by the platform (ACH, wire transfers, rollovers). Once funds settle, you can allocate them to Bitcoin, Ethereum, or a Gold IRA, subject to custodial rules and trading windows.
- Initiate transfer: From the Funding or Transfers section, start a deposit or rollover. Follow on-screen instructions carefully.
- Wait for settlement: Deposits may take several business days to clear depending on the transfer type.
- Place buy orders: Use the trading interface to place market or limit orders to purchase Bitcoin or Ethereum inside your IRA.
- Allocate to Gold IRA: If you choose to allocate to precious metals, follow the platform’s steps for allocation and custodial storage.
Remember: IRAs have contribution limits and specific tax rules. Consult a tax advisor before making contributions or rollovers.
Managing Your Portfolio
Once signed in, the dashboard typically provides an overview of your portfolio, recent transactions, asset allocation, and performance metrics. Common management tasks include:
- Viewing balances and historical performance.
- Placing buys, sells, or rebalancing allocations within account rules.
- Downloading transaction history and statements for record-keeping.
- Updating account information, beneficiaries, and tax preferences.
If you hold both crypto and precious metals within the IRA, custodial rules may differ between asset types — check custodial agreements for specifics.
Security & Account Protection
Protecting retirement assets is critical. Best practices for securing your iTrustCapital account include:
- Enable 2FA: Use an authenticator app (TOTP) rather than SMS when available.
- Strong passwords: Use long, unique passwords stored in a reputable password manager.
- Device hygiene: Keep your phone and computer OS/browser updated and use reputable antivirus software.
- Phishing awareness: Never enter credentials on links received by email without verifying the sender and URL. Bookmark the official site.
- Account alerts: Turn on email/SMS alerts for logins, large withdrawals, or changes to account settings.
Troubleshooting Sign-In Issues
If you encounter problems signing in, try these common fixes:
- Forgot password: Use the “Forgot Password” link on the sign-in page to reset via your verified email.
- 2FA problems: If your authenticator app is out of sync, use backup codes or contact support for account recovery. Avoid disabling 2FA if possible.
- Account lock: Too many failed attempts may lock your account temporarily — wait the cooldown period or contact support.
- Browser issues: Clear cache/cookies or try a different browser. Ensure JavaScript is enabled and no privacy extensions block essential site functionality.
- Contact support: If self-service recovery fails, contact platform support with required identity verification for account recovery.
