Your funds stay protected in secure escrow until you confirm successful delivery. We coordinate with trusted escrow providers to ensure your investment is safe.
In international precious metals transactions, the biggest fear is sending money and never receiving your gold. We eliminate this risk by coordinating secure escrow arrangements with established financial institutions.
Your funds are held by a neutral third-party escrow provider until every condition is met: seller verification complete, laboratory testing confirmed, documentation in order, and you confirm successful delivery.
The seller cannot access your payment until you're satisfied.

Why escrow protection is essential for international precious metals transactions
Your money is held by a neutral third-party escrow provider, not the seller. It cannot be accessed until all conditions are met.
Sellers are motivated to fulfill their obligations because they don't get paid until you confirm satisfaction.
If verification fails, testing shows problems, or delivery doesn't happen, your funds are returned to you.
Clear process for handling disagreements. Documentation and conditions are established upfront.
Complete paper trail of all transactions, conditions, and releases for your records.
Secure handling of international wire transfers with proper banking channels and compliance.
Escrow protects you in these common scenarios
If our verification process discovers the seller is fraudulent or unlicensed, your funds are returned immediately. You've lost nothing.
If the gold doesn't match the claimed purity or weight, you can reject the transaction and receive a full refund.
If the gold never arrives or is lost in transit, your funds remain in escrow and are returned to you.
If export permits, certificates of origin, or other required documents can't be obtained, the transaction doesn't proceed.
Secure ways to fund your escrow account
Direct wire transfer from your bank to the escrow account. Preferred method for most transactions.
International SWIFT transfers for buyers outside the United States. Standard banking channels.
Bank-issued letters of credit for large transactions. Additional security through your bank.
Cash, cryptocurrency, credit cards, personal checks, money orders, or payment apps (Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, etc.) for escrow deposits.
