Horrible. I've been tying to get monies transfered from Morgan Stanley for 4wks now.The on boarding team lead by Mae is unresponsive to emails and phone messages. I do not get replies .I have called about 10 times, and except for once ,always gotten voice mails and no response. They have lost my account a tremdous amount of monies due to their incompetence . Their excuse is its always someone else's fault.

I submitted a transfer of funds request to Equity Trust seven days ago through a form they supplied to me. Seven days later, the transfer has not been completed. I tried to contact them and got nothing but recorded messages. Never once did I speak to a human. I contacted another company that had put me in touch with Equity. It took them almost 10 minutes to find a phone number. They were unable to give me a name of anyone to talk to. The phone number only sent me back into the maze of recorded messages. I spoke with a friend... read more

I'm having issues with getting them to transfer my money to my bank account after trying to close an account. They just can't seem to get the money transferred. I've been working on this for 3 weeks but they just have the information from the 3rd try on June 11, but after 3 docusigns and numerous phone calls, they still can't seem to transfer my money. I'm thinking all sorts of horrible things have gone wrong here.

Just say NO!! These guys have only their best interest at heart. Customer No Service! I wish I had read these reviews before I put my hard earned money with them. I'll be long gone before I do another flip with Equity Trust.

Title: Equity Trust Company: A Sham in the Guise of Financial Services Rating: ????? Equity Trust Company is the epitome of a financial scam. They lure you in with promises of investment growth and security, but once they have your money, you might as well kiss it goodbye. Zero out of five stars isn't a low enough rating for this deplorable excuse of a company. Let me tell you about my experience. I decided it was time to withdraw my funds, only to be met with endless obstacles and excuses from Equity Trust. It's like they h... read more

Horrible !! Anticipating moving our account away from them. Real Estate transaction delayed, due to lack of communication in a asset transfer/sale that was started 3 weeks ago. Kept sending an email to my husband and not the asset company for a correction to an invoice. Multiple calls and emails no resolve as yet, and I went up the ladder to mgt. They only know very well how to charge their fees for ZERO service. And, the person handling the real estate transaction left the company and no other person followed up, didn't fin... read more

I've had an IRA acct with ET for 12 years. The fees have been incrementally increasing although I have not made any transactions (deposits, withdrawals or transfers) in that entire time. Because I was going to "shop around" for a depository company that may charge less, I found that there are not many companies that do this, all of them have multiple complaints, and perhaps the fee I pay is not over the top? After reading the complaints, my fear is that I may get trapped in a fee quagmire from either the transferring company... read more
