Sourced facts
- On the South Dakota Division of Banking roster of trust companies chartered to do business in South Dakota as of September 2026 as IQ EQ Trust Company, U.S., LLC, credential TC.069-2, public TC.2, first issuance 28 February 2012, at 211 Founders Park Drive, Suite D, Rapid City, SD 57701.
- IQ-EQ’s legal-and-compliance page lists IQ EQ Trust Company U.S., LLC at 211 Founders Park Dr., Suite D, Rapid City, South Dakota 57701, credential TC.069-2, South Dakota chartered public trust company.
- The January 2026 US Trust Services brochure describes a state-chartered, non-depository trust company that does not control investment decisions and calls itself a “pure” directed trust provider. It also states the firm may be directed on discretionary distributions. A marketing assets-under-administration figure on that brochure is omitted here.
- The same brochure and the US trust-services page publish a second office at 3 Executive Park Drive, Suite 302, Bedford, NH 03110 (+1 603 219 0264). That is a second office of this listing, not a second charter. Published South Dakota phone is +1 605 646 0300; email ustrust@iqeq.com.
- The US trust-services page states the firm was selected as winner of the Trust Administration category in the 2025 Miami Family Wealth Report Awards. That is the firm’s citation, not a ranking by this directory.
Notes
IQ EQ Trust Company U.S., LLC is on the South Dakota Division of Banking September 2026 roster as IQ EQ Trust Company, U.S., LLC, a public trust company (TC.069-2), first issued 28 February 2012, at 211 Founders Park Drive, Suite D, Rapid City.
IQ-EQ’s legal-and-compliance page confirms the same credential and Rapid City address. The January 2026 brochure calls the firm a “pure” directed trust provider that does not provide investment management; the US trust-services page describes an unbundled, multi-participant model that may also be directed on distributions. A Bedford, New Hampshire office is published as a second office of this South Dakota-chartered entity. This page omits the brochure’s marketing AUA figure and does not invent fees.
What to verify next
Confirm the legal name on the appointment — IQ EQ Trust Company U.S., LLC / roster IQ EQ Trust Company, U.S., LLC, credential TC.069-2 — and that the South Dakota entity is the signer, not a New Hampshire office letterhead. Ask whether the seat is directed on investments only or also on distributions, and which office (Rapid City or Bedford) will administer. The firm’s January 2026 brochure publishes a marketing AUA figure; omit it and request a current fee schedule instead. Do not invent fees.
