How to Add Funds | Step-By-Step | iTrustCapital
Adding funds to your iTrustCapital account is the first step toward investing in cryptocurrencies and precious metals through your IRA. This guide will walk you through the different funding methods and provide easy-to-follow instructions for each one.
🏁 Step 1: Log In to Your iTrustCapital Account
- Visit www.iTrustCapital.com
- Click “Login” at the top right of the page
- Enter your credentials to access your dashboard
💼 Step 2: Choose a Funding Method
iTrustCapital offers three primary ways to fund your account:
1. Transfer from an Existing IRA
Move funds from another IRA to your new iTrustCapital IRA. This is a non-taxable and direct transfer.
2. Rollover from a 401(k) or Employer Plan
Initiate a rollover from an eligible 401(k), 403(b), TSP, or similar plan. This can also be a non-taxable event when done properly.
3. Contribute New Funds
Add new contributions directly from a personal bank account. Be mindful of annual IRS contribution limits.
