    The rep took time to explain some things to me. He took me to the website and showed me the prices on there. I went and compared those prices to some of the same items elsewhere and I saw the value. Once you make a decision to go in a certain direction, you need to find help to accomplish that, and Orion did that.

    Giovanni, the rep from Orion, was awesome. I had a concern that I brought up and within 24 hours, it was taken care of and resolved. I sent an email and I realized there's a five-hour difference between me and the West Coast. He was on the phone the next business day and took care of it, and I'm very happy so far. But I have not received my precious metals, which is one of my concerns. Chase, my bank, couldn't read the actual stamp. Orion probably wired it and the machine didn’t pick up the signature. So, I called Orion and they said they would physically mail it to Chase. If I transferred X amount, I would get a couple of hundred dollars worth of coins and Giovanni said it would take up to 14 weeks for the complete process. He was gonna order them and then he would have it. So, I would need to be at home with the signature and he would give me a call when he got word that they would be sent out so I could be on the lookout.

    I purchased some silver New Guinea coins from a company that is under investigation and did some bad things to a lot of people, including myself. I called a lot of people who buy and sell silver, and I happened to talk to Jake from Orion three times. I told him about the situation the first time and he said that they could definitely buy my silver back. He was extremely professional. Never pressured me to sell it. Just told me what he could do. I sold everything I had purchased and it was very simple. He connected me with the IRS representative they had. He talked to them and they sent me a DocuSign, and it was done. Within three days, I had the money in my account.

    I researched the other metal firms and found Orion to be reputable, responsive and professional. Four times this year I’ve rolled over sizable assets from my 401k where it has a -26% rate of return, into a metal IRA. I have full access to my metals IRA account. Everyone that I have worked with from Michael, Blake, Ben, Griselda and Hannah, have always been very knowledgeable and professional. Never has there been any kind of “bait and switch" or misleading information. Very trustworthy and upfront. Transactions are easy and straightforward.

    I’m nearing retirement and moving a good percentage of my losing 401k into an Orion IRA has added a good comfort level seeing that my Orion IRA has held my asset value. The world has changed. Pandemic fears, unemployment, negative markets, GDP, national debt, inflation and world chaos, will make a normal market recovery very unlikely anytime soon. Orion is a great place when you’re ready to stop your market losses and move into a metal IRA. Thanks, Orion!

    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)!

    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.

    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.
