We accept a wide range of payment methods to make investing in precious metals simple and convenient.
- Orders paid by bank wire or paper check receive our best price with a 4% discount; these methods may take a little longer to process and ship.
- We also accept:
- Credit and debit cards
- PayPal (including balances, bank transfers, e-checks, and card payments)
- Venmo
- Bitcoin
Bank Wire
Bank wires from U.S. and most international banks (Fed or SWIFT) are accepted for orders of any size up to our limit. Bank wire orders typically ship the next business day after the wire is confirmed.
Limit: $1,000,000 per bank wire order
Paper Check
We accept personal and business checks drawn on U.S. banks only. Shipping for check orders is delayed five business days from receipt to ensure the check clears and is not returned.
Limit: $25,000 per order; a photo of a valid government ID is required for all checks.
For both wire and check orders, you may be asked at checkout to secure your order with a deposit—typically 5%—charged to a credit or debit card. That deposit is applied fully to your order. This secures your price and protects against market losses if a paid order is later cancelled or not completed.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin payments are processed within 24 hours and orders paid with Bitcoin ship quickly. Bitcoin purchases qualify for a 3% discount compared with the standard credit card price; this rate is slightly higher than the discount for wire and check “cash” prices. Note that the Bitcoin network charges a small transaction fee.
Limit: $1,000,000 per order
Credit and Debit Cards
Most credit and debit card payments clear immediately at checkout. We accept major card brands globally. Card-paid orders usually ship fastest, though daily and per-transaction limits may apply.
Limit: $75,000 per order
PayPal and Venmo
We accept all PayPal payment methods, including Venmo where available. Payments from PayPal balances, card-secured bank transfers, or card payments are processed immediately. In rare cases, unsecured bank transfers via PayPal may be placed on hold for up to 14 days before funds are released; orders ship the next business day after funds clear.
Limit: $75,000 per order
Because of order sizes and fraud prevention measures, credit card and PayPal transactions undergo rigorous screening and may occasionally be declined even when accounts appear in good standing. If your payment is declined, please contact your card issuer to resolve any holds or blocks so you can reprocess the transaction. We will display a notification at checkout if a payment is rejected.
Clients may also prefund their accounts by sending a bank wire so future orders can be processed instantly. For details on prefunding or to discuss payment options, contact our customer service team at 1-888-319-8166 or [email protected].
