How Gold IRA Providers Work Together
When you buy metals for a Gold IRA, the dealer sells the approved coins or bars. The IRA custodian is the regulated institution responsible for the retirement account, processes the authorized purchase using IRA funds, and handles required account records and reporting. In some arrangements, a separate administrator assists with paperwork and account service, but your account agreement identifies the legal custodian.
The metals are then shipped to an eligible depository, where they are physically stored for the IRA. The dealer sells the metals, the custodian oversees the IRA and its transactions, and the depository stores the IRA's metals. The map shows relationships between these providers, not a required sequence for selecting them.
