Whether you have an existing IRA account or are ready to open one for the first time, we can help. To start investing in precious metals for your IRA, you must first finish the following steps:

Step 1: Establish or Transfer Your Precious Metals IRA

  1. Open a self-directed account with a custodian that specializes in precious metals IRAs. If you do not currently have a custodian, we have provided three reputable precious metal IRA custodians for your convenience. We do not endorse or favor one over another, and can collaborate with any custodian of your choosing. Please contact them for specifics in setting up your Individual Retirement Account.

  1. Once you choose a custodian, they will assist you with opening or transferring your IRA account, managing your funds, and setting up your depository account.  When creating your account, select Enterprise Bullion as your preferred precious metals dealer.This enables us to deliver precious metals to your IRA account held at the depository. We are not approved to trade on your behalf, but rather fulfil your orders.
  1. Open a free account with Enterprise Bullion, if you have not already done so.  This will provide us with your contact information and allow you to place orders with us.  You can do this by going to the New Customer Registration.

Step 2: Investing with Enterprise Bullion

After your custodian has created your IRA account and you have funded it, you then have the ability to select the exact products you would like to invest in.  Depending on your custodian, the transaction will be processed either between one of our trade representatives and yourself, or our trade representative and your custodian.  Any questions regarding this process or the services we offer should be directed to one of our trading representatives at 800-588-COIN (2656).

  • With The Entrust Group, you can choose the depository you prefer.
  • For Goldstar Trust Company, all IRA precious metal products are held in high-security vaults at the Delaware Depository Service Company (DDSC).
  • Equity Institutional stores their items at a variety of nationally recognized depository services.

Each deposit will show on your account through your monthly statements provided by your custodian trust company.
