We do not use AI images or stock photos on our site because they add no value. We do not post pictures of our offices or operations online due to both ongoing security considerations, given the volume of gold and currency that we handle, and because of the proliferation of online scammers in our industry. Scammers will use stock photos or repurpose the photos of reputable organizations to add an air of legitimacy and we will not provide them with more material or photos of our operations with which to carry out their scams. We do allow on-site and in-person pictures of non-sensitive operations to be taken by Clients during the course of business.

Core Services

Gold Verification - Hire us to travel on your behalf to verify the validity of any gold deal as well as test the product. We have the knowledge, experience, and sophisticated equipment including handheld XRF devices, Mettler Toledo Water Density scales, and smelters with which we can examine any gold product to determine the purity and weight and provide guaranteed authentication services so that you can conclude your gold purchase with confidence and avoid scams.

Gold Buying & Proxy Purchase - In addition to testing services, we also provide gold buying and proxy purchase services. We can be hired to validate a gold purchase, and then actually perform the gold purchase either at one of our facilities, a partner facility, or in some countries at on-site location. We can purchase the gold directly for our company or we can proxy purchase the gold on your behalf. Take the risk out of buying gold yourself or falling victim to a gold scam and let us handle the transaction on your behalf!

Currency Validation - The Gold industry is rife with counterfeit currency which has made us experts in performing currency validations. We have specialized training and currency testing equipment that allows us to check the validity of US Dollars, Euros, and British Pounds. Our equipment scans in normal light, UV light, thermal signature, magnetic ink, takes pictures of the currency, checks serial numbers and more! We are able to remotely perform the same forensic examination that you would get at any world class banking institution. Our equipment is portable and we can perform validations on-site in support of any transaction involving physical currency.

Asset Transportation - Already have gold or currency and in need of a customs and transportation solution? We offer stand-alone transportation services for gold and currency. We will handle the pickup, export customs documents, transportation and delivery to most destinations. Please inquire with your origin and destination countries to see if we provide this service for the countries that you need.

Consultation - We provide direct consultation for gold and currency situations as well as for determinations of the appropriate customs procedures necessary for a wide variety of countries across South American, Africa, and the Middle East. If you have gold or currency which requires transportation or customs clearance, we are able to go on-site and determine the exact procedures which will need to be followed and then either provide you with a package so that your organization can handle the situation themselves or we are able to handle the situation on your behalf!
