Merchant Account for Gold And Silver Sales (Instant Approval)
The market for physical gold and silver has never been stronger as collectors and investors seek reliable stores of value.

Why Gold & Silver Merchants Are Classified High Risk

Mainstream gateways treat bullion dealers as high risk for clear reasons. Knowing these factors explains why you need a niche provider.

Price Volatility and Chargeback Risk

Daily swings in gold and silver values can prompt buyers to dispute a transaction after settlement when market prices drop. High order amounts multiply potential chargebacks.

Fraud Targets and Transaction Size

Bullion orders often exceed several thousand dollars. Fraudsters target high‑value online purchases where identity verification may be limited.

AML and KYC Requirements

Regulators require proof of metal sourcing, ongoing transaction monitoring and detailed customer checks. Failing to collect proper documentation can lead to fines or frozen accounts.

Settlement Delays and Reserve Policies

Generic processors impose holds or rolling reserves to cover possible disputes. That ties up capital you need for fresh inventory or business expenses.

Industry‑Specific Underwriting Criteria

Underwriting banks demand supplier invoices, assay certificates and a track record of sales. Only high‑risk specialists can underwrite bullion merchants at fair rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What defines a gold and silver merchant?

Any business that buys or sells physical gold bars, silver coins, bullion rounds or related products to end customers or institutions.

Which documents are required for approval?

You must submit a valid business license, proof of metal sourcing, owner photo IDs, recent bank statements and your tax identification details.

Do I need to form an LLC to qualify?

You can operate as a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC or corporation. Underwriting evaluates your compliance and sales history rather than your legal entity type.

Can I offer installment plans to customers?

Yes. Our ACH and eCheck integration supports recurring billing and installment payments to boost sales.
