Frequently asked questions
What role does Aston VIP play in gold trading?
Aston VIP acts as an advisory facilitator, connecting clients to verified global partners who specialise in secure and compliant gold trades. We ensure that every transaction aligns with legal, regulatory, and ethical standards, providing peace of mind to buyers and sellers. Our role includes guiding clients through the process, ensuring documentation is in place, and liaising with certified logistics providers for the secure transport and verification of gold. Aston VIP’s network simplifies the complexities involved in international gold transactions.
Why is Transguard used for gold transactions in Dubai?
Transguard is the UAE’s most trusted logistics and security provider, known for its expertise in handling high-value commodities like gold. Transguard ensures that all transactions occur in a secure environment under strict supervision, using armoured vehicles, monitored storage vaults, and licensed staff. Their facilities are compliant with UAE trade regulations, providing authenticity verification and chain-of-custody assurance. By using Transguard, clients benefit from unmatched security, regulatory compliance, and seamless execution, making Dubai the safest hub for gold transactions.
How are gold transactions conducted securely?
Gold transactions facilitated by Aston VIP are conducted exclusively in secure, certified facilities to ensure safety and compliance. The process begins with a verification of documentation, such as certificates of ownership, purity, and origin. The physical gold is delivered to secure vaults, where it is authenticated using industry-standard equipment to verify its weight, purity, and authenticity. Once the verification is complete, funds are released through secure financial channels like bank transfers or escrow accounts. This process guarantees transparency, security, and trust for all parties involved.
What documentation is required for gold trades?
All gold trades require comprehensive documentation to meet international trade laws and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations. This includes the Master Airway Bill, which details the shipment as gold bullion; notarised certificates of origin and ownership from the exporting country; proof of export taxes paid; and an internationally recognised assay report verifying the purity and weight of the gold. Additional documents include insurance certificates, packing lists, flight details, and OECD-compliant sourcing certificates to confirm ethical and legal origins. These documents ensure full legal compliance and transparency.
How are payments settled for gold trades?
Payments for gold trades are handled through highly secure channels to protect both buyers and sellers. Clients can settle payments via wire transfers, escrow accounts, or approved payment gateways, ensuring maximum financial security. In most cases, funds are released only after the gold has been verified for authenticity and purity at the designated secure facility. Aston VIP’s partners adhere to strict anti-fraud measures to eliminate risks, ensuring funds are protected throughout the transaction process.
Is Aston VIP directly involved in handling gold?
No, Aston VIP does not handle physical gold directly. Instead, we connect clients to our network of trusted partners who specialise in gold logistics, trading, and verification. These partners are certified professionals operating in fully compliant and regulated environments. Our role is to facilitate the process, ensuring clients receive guidance, secure connections, and a seamless experience when conducting gold transactions. By acting as a bridge between buyers, sellers, and logistics providers, we simplify the process and mitigate risks.
How is gold authenticity verified?
Gold authenticity is verified using internationally recognised standards and cutting-edge testing equipment. Upon arrival at the secure facility, gold is subjected to rigorous tests to confirm weight, purity, and authenticity. Assay reports from licensed international refineries, such as those based in Ghana, Switzerland, or Dubai, are used to certify the gold’s quality. Additionally, certificates of origin and legal ownership are reviewed to validate the chain of custody. This verification ensures buyers receive genuine gold, protecting the integrity of the transaction.
Can trades occur outside of Dubai?
No, all gold trades facilitated through Aston VIP occur exclusively in Dubai for maximum security and compliance. Dubai’s secure infrastructure, including Transguard facilities, ensures that transactions are executed under strict regulatory oversight. Conducting trades in Dubai offers unparalleled safety, legal clarity, and efficiency, making it the preferred global hub for gold trading. By centralising trades in Dubai, clients benefit from secure transport, supervised verification, and seamless settlement processes in a regulated environment.
What happens during a gold trade settlement?
During a gold trade settlement, the seller delivers the gold to a secure facility, such as Transguard, where it undergoes verification to confirm its weight, purity, and authenticity. All necessary documentation, including certificates and assay reports, is reviewed to ensure compliance with international standards. Once the gold passes verification, funds are released securely through pre-approved financial channels. This step ensures transparency, reduces risks, and guarantees that the trade is completed efficiently, satisfying both parties involved in the transaction.
What compliance measures are required for gold trades?
Gold trades must adhere to strict compliance measures to meet international and UAE-specific regulations. This includes comprehensive AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks, which ensure the transaction is legal and traceable. Trade licenses, notarised certificates of origin and ownership, and responsible sourcing certificates are mandatory. Additionally, OECD compliance ensures the gold has been sourced ethically and is free from ties to conflict zones. These measures protect clients, uphold transparency, and maintain the integrity of the global gold trade market.
