Transaction Security

The Escrow Process

No funds ever pass directly between buyers and sellers. Every transaction flows through our regulated escrow system — protecting both parties at every stage.

01

Buyer Places Order

The buyer initiates a purchase and funds are immediately transferred to a regulated third-party escrow account — not to the seller. Funds are completely ring-fenced.

02

Seller Ships Asset

Once escrow is confirmed, the seller is notified and ships the asset using our recommended fully-insured, tracked logistics partner (Brink's or Malca-Amit).

03

Authentication at Arrival

The asset is inspected and authenticated by our accredited team upon arrival. Weight, purity, serial numbers and certificates are all verified against the original listing.

04

Buyer Confirmation

The buyer has a 72-hour review window to confirm receipt and satisfaction. Any discrepancy triggers a formal dispute resolution process with our mediation team.

05

Funds Released to Seller

Upon buyer confirmation, escrow releases funds to the seller within 1-3 business days via bank wire. The transaction record is permanently logged on our secure audit trail.

Regulated Escrow Partner

Global Exchange partners exclusively with Transpact Escrow (UK FCA authorised) and Escrow.com for all transactions. Escrow accounts are held in segregated, interest-bearing accounts at Barclays Private Bank, ensuring complete buyer and seller protection.

Our Promise

Authentication Guarantee

We stand behind every single listing with absolute confidence. These are the protections that define the Global Exchange standard.

100% Authenticity Guarantee

Every asset undergoes multi-point physical and documentary verification. If an item is later found to be inauthentic, Global Exchange provides a full purchase refund — no questions asked.

Buyer Protection Program

Our comprehensive Buyer Protection covers loss in transit, misrepresentation, and seller default. All transactions under $250,000 are covered automatically. Above $250K requires optional upgrade.

72-Hour Return Window

After delivery, buyers have a 72-hour inspection window. If the asset does not match the certified listing in any material way, a full return and refund process is initiated within 24 hours.

Dedicated Concierge Support

Every transaction is assigned a dedicated Global Exchange concierge. They handle logistics coordination, documentation requirements, customs facilitation, and post-sale queries.

Our Process

Every Asset. Every Time. No Exceptions.

Before any listing goes live, every asset submitted to Global Exchange undergoes a mandatory, multi-stage physical and documentary authentication process conducted by our in-house team and independent third-party specialists.
