      Best Practice #1: IRA Profile Names

      The most important thing to consider when setting up an IRA Profile for an investor is ensuring the Profile name matches the exact IRA name.

      You may want to shorten the IRA Profile name to save time/space, however, it would be best if you do not do this since this will cause problems with the Custodian when they try to reconcile payments made to the IRA.

      Correct IRA Name Example:

      ETC Custodian FBO John Smith 12345678 IRA

      Best Practice #2: Custodian Email Notifications

      It is best practice to have your Investors include the IRA custodian's email address(es) on the IRA profile. Adding the Custodian's email address to receive distribution notification emails will ensure the Custodian is notified of new payments so they can correctly reconcile them.
