Very good service with knowledgeable people who answered all my questions.

The HAA/GBI Direct Team are awesome. The app and the website are so easy to use and the asset can be delivered or vaulted. I have done both with zero issues. My favorite aspect is their seamless ROTH IRA, which is backed via Equity Trust with real Au and Ag. Spectacular service, partners, and commitment to excellence.
RUSS S.
It has always been exemplary.

I set up my account for monthly automatic deposits years ago and gradually increased the amount, now to $500 gold and $500 silver and am getting very good returns. I like using custody in Salt Lake City. I did have need for access to cash a couple of years ago and process was quick and efficient. Right now with the rapid rise in gold and silver prices I am happy to keep in the vault and let value build! Quick access to account data is appreciated!

Prices on silver coins are consistently cheaper than other large dealers like APMEX or JM Buillon. Usually $1-2.5 cheaper retail price even when these dealer offer lower prices when one is buying large quantities. Can’t speak about gold because I have only bought silver from HAA. On the negative side I do not like waiting five days for funds to clear.
