The Perth Mint Certificate Program (PMCP) enables you to invest precious metal without the inconvenience and risk of personal storage. The Perth Mint issues a Certificate to you confirming your purchase, which is stored at the Mint on your behalf.
The Perth Mint Certificate gives you legal title to precious metals held by The Perth Mint on either a segregated (allocated) or unsegregated (unallocated) basis. The Certificate is in your name and identified by a Certificate number. The PMCP is also the only Government Guaranteed certificate program in the world, making it one of the safest ways to own precious metals.
The Program offers investors a unique range of precious metal storage options on attractive terms:
- Account opening minimum: USD 10,000 (AUD 5,000 for Australian/New Zealand residents)
- Minimum subsequent purchases or sales: USD 5,000 (AUD 5,000)
- Products include Perth Mint allocated coins and bars and unallocated bullion.
- Certificates are purchased through a reputable international Approved Dealer network.
- Certificates are transferable, non-negotiable, and have no fixed size.
The PMCP is especially suitable for investors seeking confidentiality, flexibility and low cost secure storage for their precious metal assets. No sales tax is levied on purchases and sales of precious metals in Australia and there are no restrictions on the movement of precious metal in and out of Australia.
If you seek further information on the PMCP or are interested in opening a PMCP storage account, please contact your nearest Approved Dealer. The dealer will provide you with the PMCP Operating Procedures and Terms and Conditions. Australian/New Zealand residents can Contact Us.
Payment Methods
Please be advised that Perth Mint Depository is no longer able to accept payment by cheque for investment into PMDS and PMCP accounts. This is due to internal policies regarding the time taken for cheques to clear and correlation to the volatility of metal prices. Payment can now only be made by electronic transfer.
