Understanding the ITF Gold Collateral Funding Program

The ITF Gold Collateral Funding Program provides qualified customers with the opportunity to receive temporary funding using eligible gold as collateral while maintaining the opportunity to reclaim their eligible gold after satisfying the terms of their agreement. Instead of permanently selling eligible gold, customers may choose temporary funding while preserving the opportunity to recover valuables that may have personal, sentimental, or financial significance. This provides another financial option for individuals who wish to retain ownership of their eligible gold while addressing temporary financial needs. Our goal is to make the funding process straightforward, transparent, and easy to understand so every customer knows what to expect before making a decision.

Our funding process has been designed to provide every customer with a professional, organized, and transparent experience from beginning to end. Below is an overview of each step in the ITF Gold Collateral Funding Program.

Submit Your Application

The process begins by completing the ITF online application. During the application, you'll provide basic information about yourself, your contact information, and the eligible gold you would like us to evaluate. Providing complete and accurate information helps us review your application more efficiently and prepare for your appointment. Once your application has been received, an ITF Representative will review the information and contact you regarding the next step.

Schedule Your Appointment

If your application meets our initial program requirements, an ITF Representative will contact you to schedule a convenient appointment. Appointments allow us to provide personalized, one-on-one service while giving every customer the opportunity to ask questions and better understand the program. During your appointment, we'll explain the funding process, verify your identification, review your eligible gold, and answer any questions you may have before moving forward.

Professional Gold Evaluation

Every eligible gold item submitted to ITF is professionally evaluated before a funding decision is made. During the evaluation, we examine several important factors, including gold purity (karat), weight, overall condition, current market value, and program eligibility guidelines. This professional evaluation helps determine whether your eligible gold qualifies and the funding amount that may be offered. Our goal is to ensure every customer receives a fair, transparent, and professional evaluation.

Review Your Funding Offer

If your eligible gold qualifies, we'll review your funding offer with you in detail, including the funding amount available, standard agreement period, applicable service fee, total amount required to satisfy the agreement, and your opportunity to reclaim your eligible gold. We'll carefully explain each part of the agreement and answer any questions you may have. There is absolutely no obligation to accept the funding offer.

Complete the Agreement & Receive Funding

If you decide to accept the funding offer, we'll complete the necessary agreement and finalize your transaction. Once all required documentation has been completed and the agreement has been signed, funding will be issued according to ITF's approved payment procedures. We'll also explain your agreement, due date, repayment process, and answer any remaining questions before your appointment is complete.

Reclaim Your Eligible Gold

After satisfying the terms of your agreement, you'll have the opportunity to reclaim your eligible gold. Once the required amount has been received and all agreement obligations have been fulfilled, your eligible gold will be returned according to ITF's procedures. Our objective is to provide customers with temporary funding while preserving the opportunity to recover valuables that may be important to them.
