Private Banking Gravitas, FinTech Precision
Established in 2018 in Nairobi, Aurum East Africa was founded to replace opacity in regional mineral trading with scientific assay verification, compliant banking escrow, and institutional bullion reserves.
Our Purpose & Institutional Philosophy
For decades, gold trading in East and Central Africa was burdened by informal intermediaries, opaque pricing, and high regulatory friction. Aurum East Africa Precious Metals Limited was incorporated to establish a modern, institutional alternative.
We bridge the gap between verified regional extraction corridors and the global precious metals financial ecosystem. By pairing certified metallurgical laboratories with strict adherence to Kenyan and regional anti-money laundering (AML) laws, we provide a calm, secure, and predictable trading environment for international buyers and family offices.
1. Absolute Legal Title
Every gram of bullion sold by our desk carries unencumbered, verifiable legal ownership backed by Ministry export declarations and registered cadastre entries.
2. Zero Speculative Gimmicks
We do not engage in paper gold leverage or retail marketing discounts. We deal strictly in physical, allocated metal at transparent London spot benchmarks.
3. Sovereign Compliance
Full compliance with the Kenya Mining Act, POCAMLA, DRC Code Minier, and OECD Step 5 reporting. Zero tolerance for illicit mineral flows.
4. Client Discretion
Confidential physical consultations in our private client salons with dedicated armored logistics directly to international airline vaults.
