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.

ETC is a helpful custodian. ETC is quick to process transactions. They make sure the transaction is legally compliant. They have some very useful tools to review how investments are performing. The staff is knowledgable and friendly.

My experience with Equity Trust was… My experience with Equity Trust was lousy at best. I sold two properties that were acquire through Equity Trust and both almost a full month for me to have access to my funds which were transferred out. Funds should be available immediately for whatever I choose! They purposely seem to not belong to standard banking wire transfer groups so they can play the float while checks are sent via snail mail taking up to two weeks to transfer.... There customer service regarding this was terrible!

When funding my account I was one… When funding my account I was one dollar over the amount to cost me $700 instead of $500 annual fee. Of course I wasn't advised to fund it with $1 less. They said they'd credit me the $200. It's been 3 months of 12 emails and phone calls and still no credit. Everything with them is slow and cumbersome. They're like dealing with the Federal Gov't Bureaucracy! Once this house flip is complete, I'm done with Equity Trust forever!

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.
