Representative APR: 53%Your Questions Answered
I haven’t done this before. How does it work?
The process from valuation to loan is very simple. First we will establish an open market resale value for your items. We work with industry leading specialists in our partner auction houses to arrive at this value. We then offer 70% of the resale value to you as a loan. For gold items, we offer 80% of the gold value.
How much interest will I pay each month?
The interest rate depends on the size of the loan as well as storage and insurance costs. Our rates start at 1.25% per month and there is a one-off set up fee of 3%. This is added to the loan and not deducted upfront. You are not obliged to pay the interest every month, but can pay the whole amount upon redemption.
Where are the items kept?
Items are fully insured and are kept on site or at a partner’s secured facility. We know how precious your items are, so we ensure we take exceptional care of them. We are insured with XL Catlin, the largest Lloyd's syndicate (by gross premium).
When will I receive my money?
Funds are transferred directly into your bank account within a matter of minutes of you executing the electronic signature on the loan agreement. The whole process can be done remotely from your computer.
How can I get my items to you?
For small items, such as gold or watches, send them quickly and securely by using Royal Mail Special Delivery. Fully insured by us while in transit.
For larger or more fragile items, we work with a number of specialist logistics company who will ensure your items are delivered to us safely.
What happens if I cannot repay in 6 months?
You can request an extension for another six months by repaying the accrued interests and fees. We do not charge a set-up fee on renewal, except for loans against gold and silver items where we charge a reduced fee of 1.5%.
If you do not wish to renew or repay, we will sell the pledged asset as soon as possible to recover your dues to our lenders and to us. If there is any surplus from the sale proceeds after paying all fees and charges, we will return it to you by bank transfer.
