The Three-Step Process
01
Open Your Equity Trust Account
We guide you through opening a self-directed IRA with Equity Trust Company — the largest self-directed IRA custodian in the United States, with nearly 500,000 accounts and approximately $80 billion in assets. Takes approximately 15–20 minutes online.
02
Fund Your Account
Equity Trust contacts your existing plan administrator and coordinates the direct rollover or transfer — no taxes, no penalties, no 60-day clock. Timeline is typically 10–21 business days depending on your existing custodian.
03
Purchase and Secure Your Silver
You direct Equity Trust to purchase silver from us. We source your metals from our wholesale partners and ship them directly to Delaware Depository — one of the most trusted precious metals depositories in the United States. Your metals are held in your name, fully insured, and viewable online.
