How do I find a SoundMoney-compatible IRA custodian?
The good news — you don't have to figure this out on your own. SoundMoney has already done the legwork for you.
Our Preferred Custodian
SoundMoney works with New Direction Trust Company (NDTCO) as our preferred IRA custodian. NDTCO specializes in self-directed IRAs and has extensive experience with precious metals accounts. They handle:
- Holding your precious metals securely on your behalf
- Facilitating fund transfers between your SDIRA and SoundMoney
- Providing tax documentation for your account
- Ensuring accurate account records and timely delivery of metals
Do I Have to Use NDTCO?
NDTCO is our preferred partner, but you are not required to use them exclusively. If you already have a self-directed IRA custodian you work with, contact us and we can discuss compatibility. The custodian must be IRS-approved and experienced in handling physical precious metals.
What Makes a Custodian "Compatible"?
Not all IRA custodians handle precious metals — many traditional custodians only manage stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. A compatible custodian must:
- Be IRS-approved to administer self-directed IRAs
- Support physical precious metals as an allowable asset class
- Coordinate directly with metals dealers like SoundMoney and approved depositories
- Provide proper tax reporting and documentation
Let Us Handle the Introduction
Rather than searching on your own, the simplest path is to schedule a free consultation with a SoundMoney IRA specialist. We'll introduce you to the right custodian, explain the fee structures, and make sure everything is set up correctly from the start.
