Normally, when you go into a coin store and purchase $5,000 worth of silver coins it can only be sold back to the store for $4,200 the instant you walk out the door. When metals are purchased through UPMA you keep your whole $5,000 value. If the price goes up 1% then your account would be worth $5,050. Members sell at the same price that UPMA uses on a daily basis when gold, Goldbacks, or silver are purchased and vaulted here. Alpine Gold is proud to offer the most liquid precious metals accounts in the world through the UPMA.

Accounts can be funded by Check, Wire, Precious Metals, or Cash (if at the office).

The United Precious Metals Association (UPMA) was established in response to the passage of the Utah Specie Legal Tender Act in early 2011. UPMA aims to provide viable choices in currency; offering accounts denominated in U.S. minted gold and silver dollars as well as free Goldback accounts. Members benefit from 0% buy/sell spreads and low vaulting costs.

Members can easily access their wealth by means of linked debit cards, Wire transfers, physical checks, or by taking physical possession of their holdings. Membership dues and average account fees run only a few dollars a month, making UPMA a very affordable option for saving and transacting with sound money.

UPMA is a Cooperative operating on a non-profit basis. Alpine Gold Exchange offers vaulting and other supportive services to the membership. To open an account and become a member, click here.
