GBThey Listened to Me Appreciate the fact that a representative (Jenn Smith) asked questions to know what was important to me, then helped set me up exactly as I had hoped. Thank you !

GBWe evaluated 6 different self directed… We evaluated 6 different self directed Ira companies for doing our own real estate investment. We picked alto on price (not the least expensive but because they don’t charge based on investment size the pricing was fair), online capability, live phone support if needed (it wasn’t), web experience, and simplicity of fees. It took us about 10 minutes to setup our accounts, and funding was easier. Setup of an investment vehicle requires a lot of approvals from us, the real estate folks and alto, but all Automatted and only took a few days. Very nice support for our first time.

GBLindsey Johnson has been an incredible… Lindsey Johnson has been an incredible asset at Alto IRA. She has been most helpful throughout my 1 year history investing into New Form IRA though my AltoIRA account. She is efficient, incredibly competent and very helpful. She is also very easy to talk to and patiently helps my firm through the investment and onboarding process. Lindsey is an asset to Alto - please take good care of her.

GBThe company has completely broken trust… The company has completely broken trust by increasing annual subscription fees by 400% even on previously existing accounts they are assuming will be trapped with them. So if one invests $30,000, they are now going to charge $400 per year --> So over my 30 year IRA investment lifetime, they will have charged at least $12,000 on these investments, assuming they don't decide to raise their fees again... It's despicable and poorly thought out. I had hoped to invest much more with this year but am sadly now looking for other options.

TWRiskier than crypto usually is One year ago I wrote about how Alto Crypto IRA is riskier than investing in crypto on other platforms because of a risk that is unique to their platform: If Coinbase delists a crypto and users do not sell that crypto before it is delisted, those assets will be stranded, unable to be sold or transferred. Users usually just have a few days between when Coinbase announces a delisting and when it happens, so users don't have much time to act. One year ago Also said they were working on a solution to this problem, but they still have not announced anything or updated their website to make users aware of this risk. For future delistings, there are simple solutions like creating an option for users to automatically sell affected assets when a delisting is announced, but Alto still does not seem interested in solving this problem or making users aware of it. Therefore, be careful when putting money into Alto.
