The hidden costs
What's quietly draining your margins
Sudden account shutdowns
Most processors close compliant precious metals accounts with 24 hours notice — sometimes none. We don't.
Funds held without explanation
Six-figure transactions sitting in limbo for weeks while underwriting 'reviews.' Crippling for cash flow.
Slow underwriting on every deal
Manual review delays on legitimate transactions can stop a sale dead. You lose customers waiting on approvals.
Unfair rates
Processors charge precious metals dealers 4%+ — calling it 'high-risk premium' — for sales that aren't actually risky.
The Scale fix
Eighteen years in precious metals. Zero shutdowns of compliant merchants, ever.
- Underwriting that knows the difference between a dealer and a money launderer.
- Stable rates negotiated for the category — not a 4% punishment tax.
- Direct relationships with sponsoring banks who understand precious metals — no middlemen flagging your transactions.
- A dedicated rep who actually understands AML, KYC, and IRS Form 8300 reporting.
- Fast clearing on high-ticket transactions — no manual-review delays for legitimate sales.
