Paying for Bullion: Wire vs. ACH vs. Check
Compare bank wire, ACH, and check payments for bullion orders: speed, cost, and safety.
Wires are fastest and usually clear the same day. ACH costs less but takes a few business days. Checks are slowest and must clear before shipping.
Bank wire
Fastest. Your bank may charge a fee.
ACH
Low cost, takes several business days to clear.
Check
Ships after the check clears.
