Stability and Excellence
IRAR Trust is owned by IRA Resources, Inc. Founded by Liane Bathey in 1996, IRA Resources now IRAR, is one of the fastest growing self-directed IRA firms in the United States. With no outside investors, this allows the company to reinvest earnings back into the business— towards improvements that help support their white-glove service model— while keeping their fees lower than most trust companies in the self-directed retirement industry.
Compliance and Security
IRAR Trust Company is regulated directly by the South Dakota Division of Banking. The company's financials, transactions, and accounts are regularly audited to meet federal and state law.
"We chose South Dakota as our chartered state because of their long and extensive experience with self-directed IRA custodians. Their intimate knowledge of our space helps keep the companies they regulate— and the industry as a whole —compliant," said President of IRAR Trust Company, Jason Craig. "We welcome a regulated environment because we want to make sure our clients know that their retirement future has that extra layer of direct oversight," he added.
IRAR Trust Company will be operating out of its South Dakota location supported by IRAR Processing Center in Oakland, CA and the IRAR Corporate office in La Jolla, CA.
