Accredited Refiner
Gold IRA Glossary
A refiner certified by an exchange or industry body such as the LBMA or COMEX, whose bars and rounds meet recognized standards for weight and purity. The IRS requires IRA bullion that is not produced by a national government mint to come from an accredited refiner, assayer, or manufacturer. Accreditation is one reason bars from major refiners are easy to buy, store, and resell.
