The application process is straightforward and confidential. Once your bullion is received and verified in our approved vaulting facility, funds can typically be released within a short timeframe. No credit checks are required; decisions are based solely on the value and eligibility of your metals.

Standard Know Your Client anti-money laundering checks are required to prove your identity, etc.

As with any secured borrowing, risks apply. Falling metal prices may result in a margin call, and failure to maintain collateral value could lead to forced liquidation. We therefore encourage all clients to seek professional independent advice before proceeding.
