*For the determination of collateral requirements, the value of all open transactions (outstanding/incomplete purchases and sales) is considered in addition to the value of the current purchase. Sales of Kitco Pool, VaultChainTM or Kitco Allocated Storage deposits are not included in open transactions. The value of your open transactions is considered in U.S. dollars if your current purchase is in U.S. dollars. For purchases in other currencies, your open transaction values are considered in the equivalents of U.S. dollars, rounded up to the nearest $1,000.
†Your credit card will only be used to confirm your price and, at Kitco’s discretion, to recoup any market loss charges and other fees that may become payable.
‡Funds on account are considered cleared when there are no holds placed on the funds. A cleared Kitco Pool holding, Kitco Pool holding, VaulChainTM holding or Kitco Allocated Storage deposit is one that is fully paid for and against which no claims are outstanding.
