"Since launching the platform in 2018, Alto has been focused on building technology to transform the way individuals identify and access unique alternative investment opportunities and then use their tax-advantaged retirement accounts to invest. Essentially, the same things that initially attracted investors to LendingClub's investment platform," said Eric Satz, founder and CEO of Alto. "Our entire team couldn't be more excited about this opportunity to welcome LendingClub IRA investors to Alto."

As LendingClub's preferred IRA custodian, Alto will offer LendingClub investors low-cost, online access to new alternative investment options, with the same high level of service they enjoyed with LendingClub. Alto’s paper-free platform will make it easy for them to explore additional investment options like real estate, cryptocurrency, and startups and then invest with no hidden fees or commissions—providing investors a way to easily and seamlessly put cash to work as their remaining LendingClub Notes continue to mature and cash balances rise in their IRA.
Alto’s platform includes an expansive network of investment partners—AngelList, Coinbase, Masterworks, and Republic, among others—providing both accredited and non-accredited investors with the ability to use their retirement funds in a way that up until now has only been available to the wealthiest investors.
