TASS Wertpapierhandelsbank launches Online Shop for Precious Metals
TASS Wertpapierhandelsbank, as the first securities trading bank in Germany, announced the launch of an online portal for the sales of physical precious metals beginning in May 2011.
At www.tass-edelmetalle.de or at one of the nationwide sales partners, investment customers are able to purchase precious metals in a secure setting at prices that are usually considerably better than those offered for example by house banks. At some service points over the counter sales are also possible.
“With the sales of precious metals we are purposely trying to distinguish ourselves from other suppliers,” says Carsten Ringler, Managing Director of TASS Wertpapierhandelsbank. Especially customers with larger investment needs tend to view internet purchases with caution. As a bank we would like to make it possible for exactly this kind of safety-conscious customer to purchase precious metals. We do this with our high safety standards not only in delivery and processing but also in data protection. We only deliver products to the person placing the order or to a designated person authorised to take delivery and our deliveries are always insured. A secure and personal delivery of precious metals is not always provided by all internet shops. Some shops for example ship using the Deutsche Post AG and packages are delivered when the addressee is away to another house in the neighbourhood.
TASS Wertpapierhandelsbank has been active in the precious metal business since 2010 and has been expanding continuously as well as the network of sales partners. TASS Wertpapierhandelsbank cooperates with jewellers and asset managers throughout Germany who have received comprehensive training and marketing materials. “Our sales partners are serving customers that appreciate reliable and personal onsite service,” says Carsten Ringler. Only a small number of asset managers are now offering the sales of physical precious metals. And jewellers also very rarely offer gold and silver bouillon as part of their product range.
The managing directors of TASS Wertpapierhandelsbank, Margot Polz, Carsten Ringler and Jörg Suchomel expect that the demand for precious metals will continue to grow. In view of immense national debt throughout the world and a subtle but nonetheless noticeable inflation, many investors are turning to precious metals. The rarity of precious metals in nature meets with a rising investment demand on the part of diverse investor groups such as Central Banks.
Precious metals are subject to price fluctuations on the market. For this reason the TASS Precious Metals Shop is open from Monday through Friday from 8:30 until 17:30. During these opening hours our TASS Precious Metals Sales Team looks forward to receiving your call at +49 (0) 6192 298-250 for orders (in Germany only) and questions of any kind.
