STANDARDS · COMPLIANCE · REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

A control framework
for every transaction.

Global Bullion Partners coordinates each file using a risk-based approach. Exact obligations depend on the parties, jurisdictions, origin, destination, product and transaction structure.

01

Identity & Financial Compliance

KYC/KYB, ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO), signatory and mandate authority, sanctions/PEP screening and risk-proportionate AML/CFT checks.

02

Responsible Sourcing

OECD Due Diligence Guidance for responsible mineral supply chains, CAHRA risk assessment, origin, traceability, corruption, human-rights and conflict-financing risks.

03

LBMA Frameworks

LBMA Responsible Gold Guidance V9 and Good Delivery Rules are used as references where relevant. Any LBMA certificate or status belongs to the relevant refiner and is never presented as a GBP certification.

04

Product, Assay & Quality

Assay, weight, fineness, bar or lot identifiers and chain of custody according to the product. Where required, appropriately accredited testing bodies may be used, including ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories for relevant testing activities.

05

International Trade & Logistics

Applicable export/import controls, customs, licences or permits, secure transport, insurance, final destination and Incoterms® where incorporated into the contract.

06

Contracts & Confidentiality

NDA, mandate/authority, SPA and applicable contractual protections. Sensitive identities and documents are disclosed on a controlled, need-to-know basis as the file advances.

07

Data Protection & Records

Data minimisation, restricted access, documented retention and applicable privacy requirements, including GDPR where it applies.

08

Sanctions & Jurisdictions

Relevant sanctions lists and trade restrictions are screened before progression. A file may be suspended or declined where legal, compliance or reputational risk is unacceptable.

CERTIFICATES & EVIDENCE — TRANSACTION DEPENDENT

Evidence is verified, not assumed.

Depending on the transaction, review may include refinery/Good Delivery status, a refiner’s Responsible Gold Certificate where applicable, assay certificates, evidence of origin, ownership or control, export/import documentation, insurance and transport records.
