    In my opinion, they deserve a rating of FIVE stars. Throughout the entire process, I have been given knowledgeable information and pointed in the correct direction without being forced. Jacob made my first experience in purchasing precious metals a comforting one as I am new to the industry. I am looking forward with continuing business. Thank you!

    I set up a Precious Metals IRA with Orion Exchange and I am very happy with my decision. Jacob was very helpful and explained everything in simple fashion for me (since I knew very little about precious metals or an IRA containing precious metals). He and his team were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. It was a much better experience than I was expecting. I am getting ready to move another (smaller) 401k to my Orion Metal Exchange account. And yes, I'll do business with them again (and recommend that you do as well)!

    I transferred a part of my TSP savings in to a Precious Metals IRA with Orion. I talked to other companies but Orion seemed the best choice. Jacob was very knowledgeable and provided the education I needed to make the the decisions and Griselda was helpful and efficient in setting up my account and working with TSP on the transfer.

    Very good service. Delivered just as promised and had no trouble at all. Would recommend Orion and plan to use again. Their website has the price you'll pay and they did not try to sell me things I did not want. In other words, no hassle. I called other places and had trouble getting a quote on what I wanted and usually a long discussion about what I should do, even though I didn't want to do it.

    My wife and I have been looking forward to retirement for a lifetime. I never thought it was going to happen. We always had one of the big brokerages invest our retirement and we never saw the light at the end of the tunnel. We were referred to Orion Metal Exchange by our friends who actually are retired. We couldn’t be happier. After just a few short months we can see a light at the end of the tunnel and are now finally looking forward to retirement. Couldn’t be happier with Orion and their team. They’re so professional and straightforward. It was definitely a breath of fresh air after years of feeling like you’re stuck in quicksand. I’m referring everybody I know to them and know they will be in good hands like my family is.

    A fantastic organization! Great customer support from beginning to end. Jacob B. took the time to thoroughly explain transitioning from TSP to a Self-Directed IRA. Questions I asked were answered clearly and detailed enough to make my precious metals purchase in confidence. I believe Jacob had my interest at heart and recommended specific precious metals with that in mind. In summation, no nonsense, straight talk and integrity. I would recommend Orion Metal Exchange unreservedly!

    Mike B. Dallas, TX. My wife and I are both retired. We have been invested in the stock market for many years in both good times and bad. With the ”election” of Joe Biden we decided it was time to exit the stock market due to possible steep downside risk under his “leadership”. We cashed out and sat on the sidelines while we evaluated options. After “kicking the tires” we decided that precious metals made the most sense for us. We contacted 6 of the well known precious metals dealers, but were disappointed with the results. We asked simple questions like “how do you price your products (such as spot price plus what percentage?”) The most common response was “we’ll discuss that after you send us the money to fund your account." Not exactly the answer we were seeking!

    After this frustrating experience, we found ORION METAL EXCHANGE and things were very different in a positive way. Prices were clearly posted on their website and we got straight concise answers to our questions. We have since opened 3 IRA accounts and a brokerage account with Orion. Dealing with Jason ** and Griselda ** in opening these accounts was a pleasant experience as they are both true professionals. We highly recommend ORION, Jason and Griselda.

    This was my second time ordering from Blake ** with Orion Metal Exchange. I was in a bit of a bind and in a hurry. It was my uncle's and aunt's 50th wedding anniversary and my uncle wanted to get a small gold bar for his wife. He knew nothing about buying gold. I told him, "Don't worry I have just the person." I reached out to Blake and he made it happen for us. He was knowledgeable, efficient, professional and sensitive to our time constraints. Considering that the holidays were upon us he got everything to us a day before we needed it. I really appreciate him and how he takes the worry out of the process.

    Orion was absolutely stellar. The person I was working with answered the phone immediately and worked with me with whatever questions I had 'cause I'd never done this before. I was very pleased that they were very responsive. But I asked them to call me in November so I could make sure that I had taken my withdrawal for the year, and I haven't heard from them.

    The reps were very responsive and helpful, but I was more interested in gold bullion instead of coins and I would appreciate it if they added that to their portfolio. The mark-up for coins is a little higher and I want to minimize my overall cost of metals. If I go with bullion bars, it’s cheaper than coins.

    Everything went really well. The whole process was very professional, but when you're on the phone, you think you know the person on the other end, but you don't see them, which is something to think about if you’re doing a large transaction. It's difficult to do a transaction like that sometimes over the phone without seeing somebody. Something like FaceTime interaction might be good. Apart from that, the knowledge and professionalism of the person that I made the acquisition through was good. Orion put me in a more comfortable situation and I've recommended them to another person.
