The Perth Mint Certificate Program

The Perth Mint runs the Perth Mint Certificate Program (PMCP), this offers clients the opportunity to purchase allocated, unallocated and pool allocated precious metals, with storage and vaulting options at the Mint’s refinery in Australia.

The PMCP enables you to safely trade and store precious metals through The Perth Mint’s exclusive network of authorised distributors, of which Core Bullion traders is one. Unlike other investment programs, which run online or through an app, PMCP issues physical Precious Metal Certificates as proof of legal ownership for every trade that you make. In the age of digital assets, such tangibility becomes very powerful, offering you greater protection against cyber risks or technological failure.

The Perth Mint awards permission for a small number of Authorised Distributors globally to offer the PMCP to their clients. Core Bullion Traders is delighted and honoured to be an official Authorised Distributor for the PMCP in the EU.
