A compliant transaction is slower at the start and safer at the end.

Compliance philosophy

A compliant transaction is slower at the start and safer at the end.

The compliance workflow is designed to identify who is buying, why they are buying, how funds move, where gold is sourced, how custody is controlled, and whether export and destination requirements can be met.

  • No anonymous or unverifiable buyer path.
  • KYC and source-of-funds review before allocation.
  • Origin, assay, custody, and export documents attached to the file.
  • Buyer responsibilities agreed before shipment.

Responsible sourcing

Responsible sourcing is treated as a transaction control.

GHM structures sourcing conversations around origin records, supplier identity, chain of custody, export eligibility, and buyer-side compliance review. Certifications or memberships are displayed only when administrators provide supporting evidence.

Due diligence process Supplier, buyer, origin, funds, destination, and document risk are reviewed before release.
Chain of custody Seals, batch references, inspection, assay, and handover events remain tied to the transaction file.
Anti-fraud measures Official channels, written quotes, document checks, and impersonation reporting reduce fraud exposure.
Export compliance Gold moves only where product form, buyer, documents, carrier, and destination requirements align.
Customer responsibilities Buyers must provide accurate identity, source-of-funds, importer, destination, and payment information.
Regulatory standards Applicable standards and authority references are entered by administrators when evidence is available.
