Can I redeem physical metal?
Yes. You can redeem your MintTrade holdings for physical gold, silver, platinum, or palladium through our Redeem process. Orders are securely packaged and shipped via our insured delivery partners. For full details, please see our Terms & Conditions.
Are MintTrade metals cheaper than retail bullion?
Yes. Your MintTrade purchase represents fractional ownership in investment-grade gold, silver, platinum, or palladium held in pooled positions. Because we buy in large volumes, our premiums are lower than those on smaller retail products. We pass those savings on to you, giving you 100% physically backed metals ownership at a lower cost than traditional retail bullion.
