Your Security Comes First
At IRA Financial, protecting your retirement savings is not just a priority. It is our promise.
From your first login to every transaction, we use advanced technology, trusted custodial partners, and strict regulatory standards to keep your information and assets secure.
Bank-Level Technology That Protects You
Your personal data and financial information are protected by multiple layers of security:
Encrypted Data
All information is encrypted both in transit and at rest using bank-grade AES-256 encryption.
Two-Factor Authentication
Every account login requires identity verification to help prevent unauthorized access.
Automatic Session Timeouts
Inactive sessions are securely closed to protect your account.
Continuous Monitoring
We monitor for unusual activity and conduct frequent third-party security audits.
Secure Infrastructure
Hosted in top-tier, U.S.-based data centers with strict access controls.
Zero Trust Model
We implement a security framework that grants only the minimum necessary access for users and systems, reducing risk and exposure.

Safe Custody of Your Retirement Funds
Your IRA is held with an IRS-approved, qualified custodian, keeping your funds protected, compliant, and always under your control.
FDIC & SIPC Coverage: Cash assets held with custodians may be eligible for FDIC or SIPC insurance, subject to applicable limits.
Qualified Custodian: We partner with federally regulated trust institutions that meet high standards for asset custody.
Segregated Accounts: Client funds are held separately and never commingled.

Protecting You From Fraud

A Platform Built on Resilience
Learning From the 2022 Incident
In 2022, IRA Financial was targeted in a criminal cyberattack that affected some crypto accounts. We immediately partnered with federal law enforcement, cybersecurity experts, and custodial partners.
The outcome was clear and positive. The FBI identified and arrested the individual responsible, and all affected cryptocurrency assets were fully recovered.
A Stronger, More Secure IRA Financial
Since then, we have taken major steps to strengthen your protection:
- Moved our crypto platform to Bitstamp, a globally regulated exchange known for institutional-grade security
- Upgraded authentication and internal access controls
- Deployed real-time monitoring and threat detection tools
- Expanded external security audits and risk oversight
Our Commitment to You
The 2022 incident was a turning point. We responded with transparency, accountability, and action. Today, our platform is stronger than ever, backed by smarter technology, more secure custodial partnerships, and a deep commitment to your safety.
We will keep investing in the protections that help keep your retirement secure.

See What Our Clients Have to Say
I have been a client of IRA Financial for several years and I really love them. I've worked with other companies, and they just were not as easy to work with. I appreciate being able to get somebody on the phone and getting help with taxes. Just everything has been so easy to work with. I have, and do, recommend them to anyone thinking about self-directed investing.
I've looked at all of the participants in this space and IRA Financial was the clear choice. They were the easiest to work with, answered all my questions and concerns prior to me taking the steps to open the account. The process is straight forward and there are no surprises. My investments in Real Estate have been largely successful. IRA Financial is professional, has great support, and put the customer in the driver's seat.
I believe that the sphere of influence, those we surround ourselves with and the firms we partner with is critical to our success. I’m honored to have found Adam Bergman and IRA Financial. Adam and his team have created a culture of raving fans, and I’m truly grateful to be one of them. Being treated like family is absolutely priceless.
