Overview

American Bullion was founded in 2009 and is one of the longer-operating companies in the gold IRA specialist category. The company focuses specifically on converting existing retirement accounts — primarily 401(k)s and Traditional IRAs — into gold IRAs. Its current promotional offer is its most distinctive feature: new customers who invest, transfer, or roll over $50,000 or more receive free storage and no custodian fees for the first year. After year one, the standard fee schedule applies. American Bullion uses STRATA Trust Company as its custodian and stores metals at Delaware Depository.
