Transactions in Physical Gold

Among the services offered to customers, the Bank offers Gold trading. BPER Bank trades only gold bars produced by refineries that hold international certifications attesting to compliance with due diligence practices on their suppliers and registered on the London Good Delivery list, recognized internationally as the market standard.

It is thus guaranteed that the metal being sold is Conflict Free and complies with the regulations and codes of conduct prepared by the main industry association bodies (LBMA, RJC) and international bodies (OECD); it is also ensured that suppliers are equipped with tools for the control and evaluation of gold purchasing chains, in order to combat possible forms of crime both geopolitical-financial (anti-money laundering, corruption, financing of terrorism) and related to human rights abuse, genocide, exploitation of child labor or crimes against the environment.
