Nickel wire is a real specialty product used across industrial applications. The problem is the flood of Safe-Keeping Receipts (SKRs) sent to us as supposed proof of inventory that a borrower wants to pledge for repo loans or asset-based lending. The paperwork can look plausible. The underlying stock is usually not there.
The pattern is repetitive. A borrower claims coils of nickel wire are sitting in a bonded warehouse and shares a PDF labeled “SKR.” A quick verification call to the named facility often ends the file on the spot. The warehouse does not recognise the client, the lot, or the commodity. This is not about aggressive pricing. It is about phantom stock.
An SKR is usually a custodian’s acknowledgement that it holds something for someone. It is not a negotiable title document, it is not a warehouse warrant, and it does not transfer ownership by itself. That is why it is frequently abused.
Logos and signatures are easy to copy. Many SKRs do not include traceable receipt numbers, lot identifiers, inbound references, or release instructions that a warehouse can confirm. That makes the document easy to fabricate and hard for non-specialists to challenge.
Lenders do not lend against vibes. They lend against enforceable control. If the document does not create control, it does not support credit, regardless of the stated quantity or the borrower’s narrative.
When metals are used as collateral, lenders typically expect instruments and controls that can be verified and enforced. The exact format varies by jurisdiction and warehouse regime, but the underlying idea is consistent: the lender needs a clean path to seize and sell.
| Feature | What lenders look for |
|---|---|
| Receipt identity | Unique receipt or warrant number that the warehouse can confirm inside its system |
| Lot and commodity detail | Lot identifiers and descriptions that reconcile to inspection certificates and inventory records |
| Chain of title | Clear ownership history or endorsements and an ability to pledge to the lender |
| Control mechanics | Release instructions, pledge markings, and documented controls that prevent unauthorised movement |
Most fake submissions collapse quickly because verification is simple. The lender tests whether the inventory exists, whether the warehouse is real, and whether a third party can inspect it on short notice.
| Test | Desk action | Typical outcome on a fake file |
|---|---|---|
| Call the warehouse number shown on the document | Verify the client and lot reference | The warehouse denies it exists |
| Confirm the warehouse entity | Validate corporate registration and identifiers | Details do not match the claimed operator |
| Request independent inspection | Schedule a site visit through an inspection firm | The borrower stalls, changes terms, or disappears |
| Request originals and endorsements | Ask for original documents and pledge language | Borrower says only a digital copy exists |
Repo lending relies on speed and enforceability. The lender must be able to take control of collateral and liquidate quickly if the borrower defaults. If the inventory cannot be verified and controlled, there is no credit story. A conservative valuation does not fix a missing asset.
You do not need a long checklist. A few signals show up repeatedly:
If you hold real, verifiable metal inventory in bonded storage and want to explore asset-based lending or repo-style financing, submit your file for an initial feasibility review.
