Safety for You
Security is the first and most important criterion for our customers. Therefore, we have committed ourselves to the highest security standard available for gold deliveries and storage.
OPHIRA exclusively delivers Good-Delivery bars that are LBMA certified. This is possible because we only offer products from reputable international mints or our own mintings. Our proprietary mintings are produced exclusively in renowned mints according to LBMA specifications for us. LBMA stands for the London Bullion Market Association. A precise description is available under LBMA Certified Precious Metals.
Good-Delivery Bars Only bars from refineries and mints that meet specific quality requirements are permitted for trading. LBMA standard bars have a high weight and fineness. A standard gold bar with a fineness of 995 ‰ ("Good-Delivery bar") nominally weighs 400 troy ounces, equivalent to 12.44 kilograms, but may vary from 350 to 430 troy ounces. The fineness must reach at least 995 ‰ for gold and at least 999 ‰ for silver. The fineness, manufacturer's mark, and bar number must be stamped on the bars. The bar number serves to identify each bar and is recorded by the producer in a register.
The international quality seal 'good-delivery' guarantees the stamped or engraved characteristics such as fineness and weight, as well as the constant, uninterrupted storage in accepted storage facilities. Bars with Good-Delivery status are accepted and traded worldwide.
