Robust APIs for developers
Our objective is to provide your platform with an efficient and streamlined means to provide your clients with the option to invest in your offerings with an IRA.
Custodian Connect delivers on this premise through a set of APIs that your platform will use to communicate with our platform through:
- REST API services to third party institutions to enable integration and improve communications between third party platform clients and PENSCO.
- PENSCO Trust APIs are restricted by the third party IP addresses. In addition, all API calls require an API Token that is registered specifically to your institution/platform.
* Some accounts or securities may not qualify for transfer using the ACATS system, in this case a signed transfer request form will be required.
