3. Avoid Multiple Shipping Charges

Instead of paying shipping for multiple orders, UPMA accounts allow you to purchase and accrue your metals. Safely stored in our secure vaulting facility and managed through your account, you can take physical possession of them when you need. A modest monthly fee of 50 basis points/month (0.5%) is calculated from the balance on the first day of each month, but is easily offset by lease interest or referral bonuses.

“This is by far the easiest way to save in gold. Easily deposit from your bank, easy to sell the gold back when you need to, and easily transfer gold to different accounts. Plus they have an amazing lease back program. I highly recommend upma to people all the time.”
