Fees are insane and service is… Fees are insane and service is terrible. Wait times on the phone stretch for hours, and the staff is woefully undertrained to do basic tasks. I unfortunately have multiple investments with ETC but I’m actively looking for alternatives. After having worked with ETC for five years, I could not recommend them less.

Horrible to do business with Horrible to do business with. Never prompt in dealing with your accounts in any timely manner. It will take numerous calls. They will give you the run-around. Heavy fees riddled into any documents or forms they require. They have many complaints from clients that I know that have done business with them, besides other financial mangers and those managers have warned me about them. They advised me to get my money out of their institutions as fast as I can and be persistent because they will make it difficult. They are a terrible business operation.

BEWARE OF THE FEE SCHEDULE! YOUVE BEEN WARNED I just recently closed my account with ET. My advice is avoid at all cost. They held assets for me for less than 18 months, for that and account closure I've paid them $1130. Outrageous is a word I've seen many times in these reviews and it applies. It is my contention that I was never invoiced for any charges which didn't show up until I went to close the account. When I did speak to an agent they were always nice and helpful. There was too much switching to this and that department for the correct information. Had I (and I admit my own mistake) properly read (which I thought I did) and UNDERSTOOD their fee schedule I would never have signed up with these people and obviously will never do so again. If your considering using these people: UNDERSTAND THE FEE SCHEDULE!

As a first-time investor As a first-time investor, I have been very pleased with Equity Trust's customer service. I was lucky to have thee most awesome Onboard Specialist, Tina Samol. She was and has continued to be there for me every step of the way of my onboarding steps. She is truly awesome, always professional and very helpful.

Terrible experience… Terrible experience trying to transfer funds IN after setting up my account. It’s taking almost a full month and still no answers. Three representatives and over 50 minutes on hold, still no answers. I’ve sent emails to which I receive a response that they would call but they don’t. Not impressed at all.
