⚠️ Important Information

Cryptocurrency payments are irreversible. Once sent, funds cannot be recovered. Double-check all details before sending.

You are responsible for network fees and correct network selection. Sending from the wrong blockchain may result in loss of funds.

Only send from wallets you control. Do not send from wallets linked to sanctioned entities or services.

ℹ️ Payment Processing: Crypto payments are processed via a regulated third-party payments provider. Once confirmed on-chain, the order is locked in and your metals are allocated. You will receive payment details during the order form.

Storage vs. Delivery – Choose What's Right for You

Two flexible options to suit your needs and timeline

Feature Insured Delivery Custodian / Vault Storage
Ideal For Direct possession and immediate access Long-term holding and professional storage
Physical Control Direct ownership in your hands Allocated metal in institutional vault
Insurance All-risk shipping insurance included Professional vault insurance included
Verification Signature required on delivery Regular statements and audit confirmations
Fees Shipping cost included in pricing Annual storage fee (0.5%–1% typical)
Geographies UK and selected international destinations UK, EU, and select offshore vaults
Withdrawal Received on delivery Request anytime; shipped or sold back

Key Considerations

Delivery

  • Requires secure home storage
  • Insurance must be obtained separately
  • Shipping timeframes typically 5–10 business days

Vault Storage

  • Storage fees apply (typically 0.5%–1% per annum)
  • Professional insurance included
  • Audit confirmations available on request

Security, Compliance & KYC

Your trust is built on transparency and regulatory compliance

Customer Identity Verification (KYC)

We verify your identity to comply with UK precious metals dealer regulations. You'll provide:

  • Photo ID (passport or driving licence)
  • Proof of residential address (utility bill or bank statement)
  • Source of funds verification for larger transactions

This process typically takes 5–15 minutes and is required for all first-time customers.

Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

We follow robust AML procedures to help prevent the misuse of cryptocurrency and precious metals for illicit purposes. Our compliance team:

  • Monitor transactions for suspicious activity
  • Screen customers against sanctions lists
  • Maintain detailed transaction records

Data Protection

Your personal and financial data is handled securely and stored in line with UK data protection standards (UK GDPR). We employ:

  • Encrypted data transmission
  • Secure servers with regular backups
  • Limited staff access to sensitive data

Vault Security

Physical metals held in custodian vaults are stored in institutional-grade facilities with:

  • 24/7 CCTV and security monitoring
  • Insurance coverage for all stored metals
  • Regular independent audits

Source of Funds

For larger transactions (typically above £50,000), we ask questions about the origin of your crypto or funds. This is standard practice in regulated precious metals dealing.

We do not process transactions involving proceeds of crime, sanctions evasion, or terrorism financing.

Politically Exposed Persons (PEP)

As required by UK regulations, we identify and screen politically exposed persons. A PEP is a person who holds or has held a prominent public position in the past 12 months.

If you are a PEP or a close family member, you'll be asked during the KYC process. This does not prevent you from trading; it simply means we apply enhanced due diligence.

Why KYC & AML Matters

Precious metals and cryptocurrency can both be targets for money laundering and terrorism financing. By collecting and verifying customer information, we help protect the integrity of financial systems and prevent illegal activity. These requirements are mandated by UK and international law, and Aureus Crypto Metals is committed to full compliance.
