Location Swaps

At Lava General Metal Trading, we recognize that in the global precious metals market, efficiency, security, and cost optimization are critical. Our Location Swaps service enables clients to seamlessly shift ownership of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium between vaults in different regions—without the need for physical transport.

This streamlined solution empowers investors, jewelers, and institutions to manage their holdings more effectively while cutting costs, reducing logistical challenges, and addressing regional market needs with ease.

 

Understanding Location Swaps

A Location Swap refers to the transfer of ownership of precious metals stored in one facility for an equal quantity and quality of the same metal stored elsewhere. Instead of physically moving bullion, which can involve significant costs, delays, and regulatory hurdles, clients benefit from a paper-based transfer that is secure, fast, and fully verifiable.

 

Advantages of Our Location Swaps

  • Lower Costs – Avoid expensive shipping, insurance, and handling charges.
  • Time-Efficient – Complete ownership transfers in hours or days instead of weeks.
  • Global Access – Utilize a network of trusted vaults across leading financial hubs.
  • Reduced Risk – Eliminate risks tied to transport, such as damage, theft, or delays.
  • Regulatory Assurance – Transactions are compliant with UAE and international trade standards.
 

How the Process Works

  1. Initial Consultation – We assess your requirements, including metal type, volume, and destination vault.
  2. Matching Holdings – Through our global network, we locate an equivalent bullion holding in the preferred location.
  3. Compliance & Documentation – All legal and regulatory paperwork is managed for a smooth transfer.
  4. Ownership Update – Finalized securely on record, with no physical movement of the metals required.
