A different way to hold metal
What is a precious-metals lease?
A precious-metals lease allows eligible metals in an Alpine account to be allocated to a lease. According to Alpine, the account holder retains ownership of the leased metal while receiving fractional lease-return payments each month.
The program is administered by Alpine Gold Exchange—not K2BX. Alpine determines eligibility, available capacity, account requirements, rates, fees, lease terms, and withdrawal or termination conditions.

Important Considerations
A metal lease is not the same as a bank savings account or insured bank CD. Read Alpine's current agreements and consider speaking with a qualified financial, tax, or legal professional before making a decision.
- Precious-metal values can rise or fall with market conditions.
- Rates, minimums, availability, fees, and program terms may change.
- Leased metal may not be immediately available for shipment or withdrawal.
- Notice periods and early-termination charges may apply.
- Lease capacity may be limited or unavailable at a given time.
- Neither K2BX nor Alpine is acting as your financial, tax, or legal adviser.
Common questions
Precious-Metals Lease FAQ
Do I still own the metal while it is leased?
Alpine states that the member retains ownership of the underlying leased metal. Review the current Alpine lease agreement for the full legal terms and any restrictions.
Are lease returns paid in cash?
Alpine currently describes monthly fractional payments being credited in like metal—Gold Dollars, Silver Dollars, or Goldbacks—depending on the lease.
Can I withdraw or ship leased metal immediately?
A lease may need to end before the metal becomes available for withdrawal or shipment. Notice requirements, term restrictions, or early-termination fees may apply.
How long does a lease last?
Alpine currently advertises one-year terms for bullion leases and an open-ended Goldback lease with a notice period. Always confirm the current agreement before participating.
Does K2BX manage my Alpine account?

Does K2BX receive compensation?
K2BX may receive referral compensation from qualifying account activity when you sign up through the K2BX referral link. This relationship does not increase the price you pay because you used the link.
