What Is UPMA?

The United Precious Metals Association, commonly called UPMA, is a cooperative that provides members with precious-metal accounts denominated in U.S.-minted gold and silver dollars or Goldbacks.

Rather than purchasing precious metals and finding your own storage, UPMA helps members acquire, vault, insure, manage, exchange, transfer, or request physical delivery of eligible holdings.

Precious-Metal Account Choices

GOLD ACCOUNT

U.S. Gold Dollars

Hold account value denominated in eligible U.S.-minted legal-tender gold coins, with professional vaulting and account access.

SILVER ACCOUNT

U.S. Silver Dollars

Build and manage holdings denominated in eligible U.S.-minted silver dollars without having to store every coin at home.

GOLDBACK ACCOUNT

Vaulted Goldbacks

Hold Goldbacks in a UPMA account and request available denominations for shipment when you are ready to take possession.

Why People Consider UPMA

Reduced Buy-and-Sell Friction

UPMA promotes a 0% buy/sell spread for ordinary member transactions, helping reduce the difference between the price paid and the price received when exchanging within the UPMA system.

Professional Vaulting

Eligible precious-metal holdings are stored through commercial vaulting and insurance arrangements, reducing the burden and security concerns of storing everything at home.

Flexible Account Access

Members can fund accounts, exchange eligible holdings, transfer value, request redemption, or arrange physical delivery subject to UPMA procedures, availability, and fees.

Optional Prepaid Visa Card

UPMA offers an optional reloadable prepaid Visa card that can be funded by converting value from eligible gold or silver holdings into spendable U.S. dollars.
