Transaction Procedure

Our procedures are designed to ensure that every transaction in physical gold complies with strict legal, regulatory and banking requirements. Each step is documented, auditable and aligned with international standards for cross–border trade and financial integrity.

Standard Transaction Flow

• Initial contact and profiling. We collect preliminary information about the counterparty, their structure and the nature of the requested operation.
• KYC & AML due diligence. Identification, verification and screening of all counterparties involved, in line with applicable AML/CTF regulations.
• Term sheet and commercial conditions. Definition of quantity, purity, format, origin, price formula, delivery terms and banking coordinates.
• Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). Drafting and execution of a detailed SPA, including representations, warranties and compliance clauses.
• Logistics and insurance. Coordination of transport, customs formalities and insurance coverage with specialised providers where applicable.
• Verification and settlement. Assay, confirmation of quantity and quality, and final settlement through agreed banking channels.
• Post–trade documentation. Issuance and archiving of all supporting documents, including invoices, certificates and compliance reports.

Risk Management & Controls

Throughout the entire process we apply conservative risk management principles, segregating duties between front office, compliance and operations. Any exception to standard procedures is subject to prior approval and is fully traceable, ensuring a robust and reliable framework for all our institutional and private clients.
