While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

OuuuuuuuutSTANDING!

I am new to MainStar Trust with the investments I do and I can’t be happier with the beyond outstanding service I’ve received from every single person I’ve interacted with at MainStar. Not only for me but also the additional clients I’ve brought with me. Highly recommended!

Do not research the companies they represent

Do not fully understand Mainstar's role in all of the investments but I do not feel they do proper research and are a clearing house for many companies both good and BAD. I have an investment where they are the face of my interaction with a company that has now filed for bankruptcy, and they have no information to share about my investment.

Thank you for your feedback. It is very important to us. As a Custodian, we provide recordkeeping/tax reporting information for you. We are not allowed to provide any type of investment advice from a regulatory standpoint. We are not involved in selling investments, just in providing custody services. Thank you for being a customer.

It was not an easy experience

It was not an easy experience. I was doing two new accounts at once, one with Mainstar and one with Advanta. I did not know they were connected. Somehow they got the accounts mixed up. I was charged a $135 fee which Phoenix Capital was to pick up. It took a month to get the account settled.

I reached out regarding setting up a tradional IRA with some of my private company stocks and I had no idea how to do this process. Jo Lynn Barnes was wonderful about taking time out of her busy day to walk me through step by step to make sure I understood the process ahead. All the other staff at Mainstar really worked on getting this process completed on my company's time frame.

People you can trust.

Trustworthiness is the first word that comes to mind when I think about David and his team. Knowledge, experience, thoroughness, & graciousness are also what my wife and I have experienced in every dealing we have had with Mainstar Trust.
