GOLD/AU TRANSACTION (SINCE 1.8.2006)
Under the new guidelines recently set forth by the Federal Reserve for Gold AU
metal it is required by the bank officers to do standard FED compliance on the
metal and the seller/beneficial owners of the metal on a bank to bank basis before
any contracts can be signed.
Anything outside of a strict Swiss procedure of POP with Sellers client info sheet
and passport is now illegal to even attempt to transact. The seller, if they are
legitimate, must be ready, willing and able to submit this information directly by
SWIFT to the Buyer's Bank Officer for standard banking compliance under the new
regulations.
Upon completion of this compliance the buyer's bank officer will then respond with
POF including the Buyer's client info sheet and passport information for the seller's
bank officer to do their compliance as well. If the seller is not willing to comply with
the new guidelines, we are sure there is no transaction worth going to jail over.
These guidelines are to be used to provide security and procedural guidance to
sellers interested in doing business with BUYER. This is based on the requirements
of the FED and WGC. In addition to this is additional security requirements from
BUYER to ensure credibility of offer submitted to BUYER.
