the trade desk · wholesale gold

a refinery account, on your counter.

The trade desk is the wholesale side of BullionExchange — built for businesses that weigh gold every day and have no patience left for refinery queues. You send the parcels; we assay, settle same-day, and pass back the refinery margin that a middleman would keep. One morning sheet, satchels in the drawer, money before close.

  • jewellers
  • pawnbrokers

Rates are of fine value after assay — no assay fee, no admin fee, no return postage. Mixed-metal parcels are itemised on one sheet. Indicative bands; your figure is fixed at assay and holds 30 days.

  1. RATE-SHEET
    the 08:00 morning sheet All four metals, fixed and timestamped at eight every weekday. The sheet is the price — no calling to haggle, no moving spread.
  2. SATCHELS
    prepaid insured satchels A standing supply for the counter drawer, insured to £15k each. Post a parcel; the assay sheet returns before the kettle is cold.
  3. CHAPS
    same-day CHAPS settlement Accept the assay by midday, paid by close. CHAPS on request for larger lots — no eleven-day wait, no chasing phone call.
  4. DESK-LINE
    a dedicated desk line A named dealer who knows your account, your metals and your hours — direct line, not a queue or a ticket system.
  5. COLLECT-1KG
    collection over 1kg Insured courier at our cost, booked around your trading hours. Melt-and-assay witnessed on request for the larger consignments.

Settlement lands the same day the assay sheet does. Our old refiner took eleven days and a phone call.
