Unique Elements 

Digital Currencies 

Digital assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum can be placed in a Self Directed IRA as a retirement asset. Although many who invest in digital currency prefer to do so with a Checkbook IRA, there are many Self Directed clients who prefer the Custodian model. Kingdom Trust has invested a lot of time and capital in positioning itself as the Custodian of choice for digital assets. This is true not only for individual investors, but for institutional ones as well. Kingdom Trust’s website promotes end-to-end capabilities for institutional investors who wish to include digital currency in their portfolios.

• crowd-sourced investments 

There is a six-step process to utilize Kingdom’s escrow service:

1. Submit appropriate AML/BSA documents to perform the assessment 

1. Establish an escrow account 

1. Process ACH 

1. Deposit funds into the account

Global Custody 

Kingdom Trust utilizes its banking relationships to provide global custody and clearing for a large variety of global institutions. These include: 

• broker-dealers 
• marketplace lending firms 
• crowdfunding portals 
• Corporations 
• offshore funds 

 

Fund Custody 

Kingdom Trust offers custodial services for funds that need to adhere to Custody Rule requirements. These services break down into four basic categories: 

1. Monitor and transact custodial assets as directed 

1. Provide record keeping for deposits, disbursements, and investments 

1. Statement delivery 

1. Verification of assets for fund auditors 

 

Security 

Although most trust companies possess decent security protocols (as mandated), Kingdom Trust uniquely posts their protocols on the company website. The accounting system is Accutrust Gold and it is accessed via an ASP Citrix connection. There is redundancy built into this system but the possibility exists that if the connections simultaneously fail, access would be unavailable until connectivity can be restored. 

 

 

Services and Process 

Kingdom Trust operates with a fairly standard process. Funds submitted via check are normally available after 1-2 business days, while wires are normally available same day. Fees are asset and method based and can vary greatly. Minimum cash balance required for the account can vary according to the specific fee schedule, but for most clients the minimum balance is $500.
