We Answer Your Questions

What’s a SEP IRA?
A Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan allows business owners to contribute toward their employees’ retirement account as well as their own. Contributions are made to an Individual Retirement Account and can be invested in digital assets through our platform.
Why ETZ?
It’s vital to be thinking about the future and what’s coming next. ETZ is empowering companies to attract top talent by offering digital assets access to participants through a tax-advantaged SEP IRA. We believe increasing access to digital assets for every employee in America will change the incentive plan for every employer. ETZ is a white glove service ensuring your team's digital assets investing needs are met. We provide accounts with designated representatives to be there when you need them along with 24/7 investing access. We also take care of the legal complexities around tax reporting and security of your assets.
