SAFEFUNDS LLC
INTERCONTINENTAL METALS EXCHANGE LTD (IMX) REQUIRES PARTICIPANT FUNDING PAYMENT THROUGH “SAFEFUNDS LLC”: a United States Financial Support Organization
(INTERCONTINENTAL METALS EXCHANGE LTD (IMX) must be notified in advance of the establishment of the transfer of funds between Participant and Safefunds. IMX representative will forward to the Participant the exact Safefunds bank account information to the Participant for funds deposit.
Participant’s Funds are deposited with Safefunds in the amount required for selected participation level. Upon the Participant depositing the funds into Safefunds, IMX will be notified of such deposit and immediately begin the Exchange trading Services.
Upon receiving the Participants deposited funds into Safefunds, IMX will immediately initiate the daily Gold Bar trading process with purchasing and selling (trading) the amount of gold dependent on the level of Participant’s participation.
Safefunds eliminates the risk of Open Account transactions and the cost and delay.
Safefunds is a perfect way to expand markets with occasional, one-time, or multiple transactions with no exposure financially.
The system eliminates the high cost and wasted time of wire transfers, letters of credit, and cashier’s checks.
Safefunds sends funds electronically via the Automated Clearing House system for fast turnaround.
There is no limit to the transaction size. Safefunds will handle it.
Never worry about a fraudulent payment. Safefunds stops them all.
