Pool accounts and global transfers

Speed and flexibility – the keys to managing your precious metals

A pool account at Heraeus allows you to benefit from our global network: Your precious metals are available around the world! Using precious metal transfers makes it easy and cost-efficient to transfer your pool account assets or receive assets from others. It makes no difference whether the transfer takes place within Heraeus or to other market participants, such as for further processing. Simply use our web-based transfer tool.

Of course, you can also have your assets delivered physically at any time in a variety of forms. Grains, sheets, sponge, or bars – Heraeus manages all of the logistics, in Germany and abroad.
