  • Why is the price so much higher than the spot price?
    Instead of giving you a “paper” or “trading” price of precious metals and then making you purchase your precious physical metals at market rate if you ever want them sent to you (like some other companies), we instead give you the physical price of silver or gold from the get-go. No swaps, no paper, just a real transaction backed by REAL gold or silver.  All purchase prices are based on the American Gold Eagle and the American Silver Eagles.Popular
  • What can I buy?
    We currently have several asset classes available for you to buy. Each asset class can be purchased fractionally, meaning you can purchase as little as $1 of any asset class and receive a fractional ounce of that asset. We back your purchases in our vault with whole ounce increments (and sometimes, as in the case of Silver Bars, 100oz increments) If you elect to have your metal mailed to you, be advised that you are unable to ship fractional ounces. We are only able to physically ship yourPopular

  • What is the "Market Loss Policy" and the $35.00 fee?
    What is the Market Loss Policy? When you place an order for precious metals through SoundMoney®, you are entering into a binding legal contract. Because gold and silver prices change second-by-second, we "lock in" your price the moment you submit your order. The Market Loss Policy protects the ecosystem from losses that occur if an order is cancelled or unpaid after that price has been locked. When does this policy apply?

  • What is the "buying power" in SoundMoney?
    Your 'Buying Power' is the liquid cash balance available in your SoundMoney account. This balance can be used to purchase gold or silver instantly, or it can be withdrawn to your bank account. Funds enter your Buying Power by liquidating (selling) your metal back to SoundMoney. You can view this balance on your Dashboard and see the details by clicking the balance.Few readers
  • Is there any sell/buy limits in SoundMoney?
    SoundMoney does not currently have daily buy or sell limits. You are free to transact based on your personal strategy. Keep in mind that while SoundMoney doesn't have limits, your bank likely has daily transfer limits for ACH or Wires. For exceptionally large transactions (e.g., over $50,000), our compliance team may perform a routine verification to ensure the validity and security of the transaction, and may at its sole discretion, cancel any transaction it deems risky/fraudulent.Few readers
  • Can I use a credit card to buy gold or silver?

  • What does "deffered purchase payment" mean?
    A 'deferred purchase payment' refers to an order where the transaction has been initiated, but the final settlement or payment from your bank hasn't fully cleared yet. During this period, the purchase is locked in at the price you agreed to, but the metal or funds may be held in a 'pending' state. Once the payment successfully clears the banking system (usually within 3–5 business days), the 'deferred' status is removed, and the assets become fully available for you to ship or liquidate.Few readers
