Precious Metals & Gold Trade Finance
Financely arranges large-ticket trade finance for physical precious metals — with focus on gold bullion, dore, and refined bars, alongside silver, platinum, and palladium. We execute on mandates only, ensuring controls acceptable to bullion banks, private credit, and insurers: vault custody, transport security, AML/KYC compliance, assay and hallmark verification, and enforceable documentation. Our operators have executed mandates across mining, refinery offtake, and bullion trading.
“The Financely team secured us a confirmed LC for bullion exports in under 60 days. Their understanding of vaulting, assay protocols, and compliance was unmatched.”
