How Do I Pay for Gold or Silver by Bank Wire?

We accept a wide variety of payment methods to make investing in precious metals as easy as possible.

  • Orders paid via bank wire or check receive our best price, a 4% discount, but may take slightly longer to process and ship
  • We also accept:
    • Credit and debit cards
    • PayPal (including balances, bank transfers, e-checks, and credit/debit account payments)
    • Venmo
    • Bitcoin

Bank Wire

Bank wires, including from the US and most international banks (either ‘Fed’ or ‘SWIFT’ wires) can be used to pay for orders with no limit on the amount. Bank wire orders typically ship next business day after the wire is received.

Limit: $1,000,000 per bank wire order

Paper Check

Personal and business checks are only accepted from U.S. banks at this time. Checks order shipping is delayed for 5 business days from receipt, to ensure they are not returned without payment.

Limit: $25,000/order; photo of a valid government ID 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%) on a credit or debit card, which is credited fully to your order. This is required to secure your price in the market, and serves as protection against market losses from failure to pay cancelled orders.

Bitcoin orders are processed within 24 hours and ship quickly for delivery.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin customers receive a 3% discount to the credit card charge, which is 1% over the “cash” price customers using checks and bank wires pay. The Bitcoin network also charges a transaction fee, though it is usually very small.

Limit: $1,000,000/order

Orders placed via credit card, debit card, and PayPal or Venmo process quickly and ship the fastest for delivery orders. They may be subject to limits on daily and per transaction amounts.

Credit and Debit Cards

Most credit and debit cards clear payment immediately at checkout. We accept most major card types globally.

Limit: $75,000/order

PayPal/Venmo

We accept all PayPal payment methods (including PayPal-owned Venmo). Users paying with an account balance, using a card or a card-secured bank transfer will have their payments processed immediately.

Unsecured bank transfers (very rare) are subject to hold up to 14 days before PayPal releases the funds to us. Orders typically ship next business day after the payment clears.

Limit: $75,000/order

Note that both credit card and PayPal orders are subject to rigorous fraud screening, and because of the size and nature of purchases are occasionally rejected even when the account is in good standing. If this happens, please notify your card issuer as they may be able to remove the block and allow you to reprocess the transaction. We will notify at checkout when a card is rejected.

Clients may also prefund their accounts with a bank wire for instant processing on future orders. Please contact our customer service team at 1-888-319-8166 or [email protected] for further details on prefunding accounts

KEYNESIAN VS. AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS

For a larger image please view original site here: http://theaustrianinsider.com/infographic-keynesian-vs-austrian-economics/ There has been an unsettled debate among economists for a century now of whether government intervention is beneficial to an economy.  The heart of this debate lies between Keynesian and Austrian economists (though there are other schools as well). In order to get a full understanding of the two schools of economic thought, please refer to the infographic above.  Open the image in a new tab for a larger version. If anyone feels I did a misrepresentation of either school, let me know! UPDATE: I’d like to go over some of

GoldSilver Infographic: History of Money and Currency in the USA

Ever wondered how the monetary system of the United States got into the fiat predicament it now finds itself? Did you know that American history has more often used some sort of gold or silver backing than not? Inspired partly by GoldSilver.com reader Greg V, we created a scrollable infographic of the history of money in the U.S.. What you’ll see is that with each monetary change in the US, our currency has gradually been destroyed. We started with 100% gold-backed currency, but via the whims and machinations of politicians, we’ve ended up with 0% gold-backing. A currency that can

Gold Under Pressure as Fed Officials Push Back on December Cut

The Fed’s December decision just became a coin flip. September jobs beat expectations with 119,000 positions added, but traders slashed rate cut odds to 50% after Cleveland Fed President Beth Hammack warned that easing now could “prolong elevated inflation.” Her concerns mirror Main Street, where 70% of small businesses cite inflation as their top worry. Gold dropped below $4,070 as the dollar strengthened and rate cut hopes faded.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
