Is Holland Gold an LBMA member?

Yes, Holland Gold is the only company in the Netherlands recognised as an Affiliate Member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). The current LBMA membership overview can be found via the current
membership page of the LBMA.

The LBMA is an international authority for the gold and silver market. The LBMA develops and maintains important market standards, such as the Good Delivery standards for
gold and silver bars and the LBMA Global Precious Metals Code.

LBMA members endorse the LBMA Global Precious Metals Code. This code contains rules and principles on transparency, integrity, market conduct and responsible business practices.

As an Affiliate Member, Holland Gold endorses these international standards. The membership shows that Holland Gold is part of an international network of professional market participants within the precious metals market.

Why is the LBMA important?

The LBMA Good Delivery List is regarded as the leading international quality standard for gold and silver bars. This standard is used worldwide by professional market participants, such as central banks, bullion banks, exchanges and institutional traders.

When central banks, such as the ECB, and major bullion banks, such as UBS or JP Morgan, rely on this standard, it also gives private and business customers guidance when choosing physical gold and silver.

For gold and silver products, Holland Gold works with refineries that are listed on the LBMA Good Delivery List, such as C. Hafner, Umicore and Argor-Heraeus. Only refineries accredited by the LBMA are added to this list.

Gold and silver bars from LBMA Good Delivery refineries are widely accepted internationally within the professional gold and silver market. This makes LBMA accreditation important for quality, tradability and international recognition.

Does Holland Gold also have an AFM licence for storage?

Holland Gold also offers safe and fully insured storage in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Singapore. Holland Gold offers precious metals in combination with storage on the basis of an AFM licence. You can read more about this on our page about the AFM licence.
