Collateral Management – Security, Insurance, Quality and Customs Approval

We have extensive experience in providing Collateral Management Services and have developed excellent relationships with most Structured Trade and Commodity Finance Banks.

As a Collateral Management Service we're able to act as the custodian of the goods pledged to the Bank and stored in our warehouse . The Bank then provides finance against the security of the goods/commodities pledged by the company or individual to the Bank. 

Security

We recognise the importance of providing secure working environments and secure operational procedures for our customers and their goods, cargoes and documentation.

All our sites are safe working environments, with manned security entrances and exits to Port environments.

Security at our storage facilities is provided by 24 hour security response and combinations of cctv coverage, contact and infra red alarm systems and security pass access.

Stock Control Systems

We run a web-based Electronic Stock Control system which allows customers 24 hour access to their stocks via unique passwords. We can send out reports on receipts / deliveries of metal, and stock reports are available on demand by both location and metal. We send automatic monthly stock reports to all our customers, but if you'd like them on a more regular basis, please just ask.

We also run a Freight Management System for the control and issuance of documentation, whilst metals are moved under our supervision.

Insurance

Our comprehensive series of insurance policies covers our global warehousing and logistics activities.

Specifically, we have Warehouseman's Liability Cover for warehousing risks.

Please note that goods stored with NEMS are not covered by us: this must be provided by you, the owner. However, NEMS carries cover for up to £2m per claim for Unexplained Losses (pieces or weight of metal), Fraudulent Use of Warrants, Fire, Theft, Legal Liability, Fraud and dishonesty of the warehouse personnel, servant or agent and Errors or Omissions cover of £500k. We operate under UKWA, and BIFFA Terms and Conditions. Please see our Terms and Conditions.
