1. What Is iTrustCapital?

iTrustCapital is a platform that allows individuals to invest in digital assets (such as cryptocurrencies) and precious metals through tax‑advantaged retirement accounts (IRAs). It offers trading, storage, and account management tools designed to make retirement investing in crypto and metals more accessible, while maintaining compliance and security.

Through iTrustCapital, you can open a Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, or other self‑directed retirement account (depending on eligibility), fund it, and manage alternative assets under a secure custodial framework.

Security, transparency, and ease of use are core to the platform. The sign‑in process, identity verification, funding, and trading are structured to protect users and help them get started with confidence.

3. Step 1: Create Your Account

3.1 Visit the Official Site & Select Sign Up

First, open your browser and go to itrustcapital.com. Ensure you are on the correct site—look for “https://” and the padlock icon. Any deviation in URL can be a phishing attempt.

Once on the site, locate the “Create Account”, “Get Started”, or “Sign Up” link or button. Click it to begin registering.

3.2 Enter Required Information

You will be asked to provide personal details: your full name, email address, phone number, and in many cases, your Social Security Number (or equivalent tax ID). These are required for regulatory and compliance reasons for IRA accounts in the U.S. platform. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

After entering your details, you’ll likely agree to Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Read these documents carefully—they explain how your data and assets are handled.

Working Key: Use an email address you own and check regularly. Make your password long and unique—do not reuse passwords from other sites.

4. Step 2: Identity Verification & Security Setup

4.1 Verify Email Address

After creating your account, iTrustCapital will send a verification email to the address you provided. You must click a link in that email to confirm you control that email account and activate your account. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

4.2 Enable Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA)

Once you sign in for the first time, you are prompted (or strongly encouraged) to set up 2FA. This may be via an authenticator app (TOTP), SMS, or other secure methods. 2FA adds an extra layer of protection beyond just your password.

4.3 Provide Any Additional Required Identity Documents

To comply with regulatory and IRA rules, you may need to upload government‑issued ID, proof of address, or other documents. This will allow iTrustCapital to fully verify your identity so you can fund the account and use all features. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

        Highlight: Make sure uploaded documents are clear, unaltered, and matches your personal info exactly. Discrepancies slow down verification and funding.
      

5. Step 3: Sign‑In & Account Access Setup

5.1 First Time Sign In

After verification, use the “Login” or “Sign In” button on the website. Enter your registered email and password. If 2FA is enabled, enter the code from your authenticator app or SMS. Always use strong network connections.

5.2 Set Up Security Preferences

Inside your account settings, explore security options: password change, 2FA methods, device recognition, email alerts for account changes. Enable all available ones to strengthen your security posture.

Working Key: Consider using hardware security keys if supported (or always use authenticator apps), and never disable security alerts or email verification features.

6. Step 4: Funding Your IRA Account

6.1 Select IRA Type

Choose which IRA you want (Traditional, Roth, SEP, etc.). The selection may affect tax treatment and eligibility. Ensure you understand these differences (or consult a tax advisor). :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

6.2 Choose Funding Method

iTrustCapital supports several funding methods: direct bank transfers, rollovers from existing IRA accounts, possibly transfers from 401(k) etc. Decide which method suits you best, considering timing and any fees. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

6.3 Submit Funding Instructions & Await Processing

Once you initiate funding, there may be a delay for verification, banking processes, or approvals. Watch for emails from iTrustCapital asking for more info. Funds must arrive successfully for trading to begin.

Note: Processing times vary depending on funding source and bank. Plan ahead if you want to trade immediately.

7. Step 5: First Investment / Trading

7.1 Explore Asset Offerings

The platform lets you invest in cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) and precious metals (gold, silver), subject to your IRA’s rules. Explore what is available in your jurisdiction. Understand the risk levels of different assets. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

7.2 Execute Buy / Sell Orders

After funding, you can place orders to buy or sell assets. Check current prices, spreads, fees, and order types. Review carefully before confirming trades.

7.3 Monitor Performance

Use the account dashboard to follow portfolio value, gains or losses, asset allocation. Set alerts or notifications if provided to watch for large swings or thresholds.

Working Key: Start small for your first trades to test behavior, fees, and delivery. See how the platform reflects activity before scaling up.

8. Security Best Practices & Maintenance

Security is not just a one‑time setup. Ongoing practices keep your account safe over time. Here are essential practices to follow continuously:

Keep your password strong, unique, and change it periodically.
Always use 2FA and ensure backup methods are stored securely offline.
Monitor login / activity history for unfamiliar logins or transactions.
Secure email account tied to your iTrustCapital login — this is a common attack vector.
Avoid using public Wi‑Fi or insecure devices. Use VPN if necessary.
Ensure devices (phones, computers) have latest updates / patches, good security software.

9. Common Issues & Troubleshooting

9.1 Forgot Password

If you forget your password, click the “Forgot Password” link on the login page. You’ll receive a reset link via the email you registered with. Use a strong new password and consider changing related passwords if you reused them.

9.2 Delayed Email Verification or Document Review

Sometimes verification emails are delayed or land in spam. If document review is pending, ensure your documents are clear, correct, and meet the required format. If delays persist, contact support.

9.3 Issues with 2FA Code / Device Loss

If your authenticator app is not working (time sync issues, app reinstall, etc.), use backup codes if you saved them. If you lose access entirely, you’ll need to follow iTrustCapital’s recovery process with identity verification.

9.4 Login Problems or Account Lockout

Too many failed login attempts may temporarily lock account or trigger verification challenges. Be patient, check your email, and reach out to support if needed.

10. FAQs & Clarifications

Do I need a Social Security Number / Tax ID?

Yes, for U.S. users, providing a valid Social Security Number is generally required for IRA accounts for regulatory compliance. Without it, registration or verification may be incomplete. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

What Types of IRAs Are Supported?

iTrustCapital supports multiple IRA types, including Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, etc. The specific options available depend on eligibility and your circumstances. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

Are There Hidden Fees?

iTrustCapital claims transparent pricing. It is wise to review the fee schedule, any trading or transaction fees, asset storage or custody fees, and funding or withdrawal fees. Hidden fees can erode returns over time.

Is My Crypto Stored Securely?

Most platforms like iTrustCapital partner with qualified custodians, use cold storage, and employ security protocols such as encryption, multi‑factor authentication, and regular audits. Always confirm what the platform provides and whether there is insurance coverage.
