At Empistos Gold, every transaction follows a clear, transparent, and professional process to ensure accuracy, fairness, and trust. As a Tier 1 licensed gold trading company regulated by the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), we prioritize proper evaluation and market-based pricing for all gold dealings.
1. Initial Inspection
The process begins with a visual inspection of the gold to assess its form, condition, and general quality. This helps determine the appropriate testing method to be used.
2. Weight Measurement
The gold is carefully weighed using calibrated and certified scales to ensure accuracy. Weight is one of the key factors in determining overall value.
3. Purity Testing (Karat Analysis)
We test the gold to determine its purity level (karat). This helps establish the actual gold content and is essential for accurate valuation.
4. Market Price Reference
The value of gold is then compared against current international gold market prices, along with the prevailing USD to GHS exchange rate. This ensures pricing reflects real-time global standards.
5. Final Valuation
Using the weight, purity, and market price data, a final value is calculated. This process ensures transparency and fairness for both buyer and seller.
6. Transparent Pricing Communication
The final price is clearly communicated to the client, with full explanation of how the value was derived. No hidden charges or unclear deductions are applied.
7. Payment Processing
Once the client agrees to the valuation, payment is processed quickly and securely through approved methods such as mobile money, bank transfer, or cash (where applicable).
Final Note
The gold evaluation and pricing process at Empistos Gold is designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and trust at every stage, giving clients full confidence in their transactions.
