Why Should I Join?

Everybody knows that precious metals such as gold and silver are the safest place to store value as sound money.  However, most people just buy precious metals, hide them in their closet, put them under their mattress, throw them into a home safe or pay outrageous fees for somebody else to store them.   With UPMA, not only can you efficiently store your coins but you can extend the value of precious metals through our following benefits:

  • Buy Gold and Silver coins and Sell them at the Same Price.  Normally, when you go into a coin store and purchase $2000 worth of coins, as soon as you walk out the door they are only worth $1850.  At UPMA, when you buy $2000 worth of coins, you can sell them back for $2000. Members sell at the same price that UPMA uses on a daily basis.  (Members benefit from a 0% buy/sell spread)

  • Put yourself on a Gold Backed Currency
    You can fund your UPMA account by Check, Wire, Precious Metals or Cash (if at the office).  Now that your account is funded, you can easily access your wealth by a linked debit card.  Congratulations!  You are now running your finances backed by precious metals (sound money) but still have all the flexibility of using a standard debit card!

  • Flexibility
    UPMA makes it easy to acquire, store, sell and receive precious metals.  You can easily fund your account from home, office, or in person and in any increments, either large or small.    We do all the work of acquiring and safely storing your precious metals and your investment is fully insured.    We eliminate all the hassles of buying, selling and storing precious metals for a minimal monthly fee.   However, sometimes you just want to have coins in your possession.  No problem, you can receive physical possession of your wealth at any time.

 

(You will thank yourself in the future!)
