Monetary Metals Leases Platinum to Money Metals Exchange

Scottsdale, Ariz, October 25, 2019—Monetary Metals® announced today that it has leased platinum to Money Metals Exchange® to support its U.S.-based business of selling precious metals at retail and wholesale. Investors earn 3% on their platinum, which is held in Money Metals’ inventory vault in the form of platinum coins, bars, and rounds. The lease fee is paid in gold.

Monetary Metals has a disruptive model, leasing gold and silver—and now platinum—from investors who own it and providing it to businesses who need it, typically for inventory or work-in-progress.

Investors benefit, because they earn a return rather than pay storage costs on their metal. Metal-using businesses benefit, as the lease tends to be their lowest-cost capital. And the lease is more user-friendly, with no need to be hedged, because it is off balance sheet. Because the precious metals remain the property of the investors, this structure also reduces their risk.

“Money Metals is a well-managed business and benefits from additional metal,” said Keith Weiner, CEO of Monetary Metals. He added, “Leasing to them is a win-win deal for them and for metal owners.”

“Monetary Metals has become an excellent financing solution for our company,” said Stefan Gleason, president of Idaho-based Money Metals Exchange. “We’re proud to participate in a program which is working globally to remonetize precious metals, and we’re also gratified to be paying lease fees to precious metals investors rather than paying interest to bankers!”

The two companies are not affiliated, despite their similar names.
