In a Nutshell:
Collateral Finance Corporation are the leading global collateral loans company specializing in lending against bullion products, numismatics and paper currencies – across the US, Canada and further afield.
Direct subsidiary company to NASDAQ traded A-Mark Precious Metals, CFC has the volume, reach and market influence to lead the way when it comes to making high-value collateral-based loans quickly, discreetly and with the minimum of fuss – being equally popular with commercial borrowers looking for extra liquidity to increase stocks – as retail investors looking to access equity in their investments without having to sell.
Unusually for collateral lending companies, CFC actively encourages new loans for increased investment and can make an excellent source of leverage funding for physical gold investors looking to grow their portfolio, and can even pre-arrange borrowing limits ahead of numismatic auctions to help make new purchases.

Website Product & Investment Information
The CFCgoldLoans.com site is a small brochure-type website with under 10 public-facing pages, but because it’s operating in such a tight specialist marketplace the site covers the full range of it’s collateral lending services in a perfect level of detail, to inform without overwhelm.
Each section and each step is fully covered, be it consumer/investor loans, B2B loans for companies seeking extra liquidity with CFC’s simple procedures laid out in a straightforward and easy to understand way, with all processes clearly signposted.
The online application process is equally straightforward with one form for all borrower types: the form simply changes each step depending on the applicant’s previous answers – and for those who would rather speak to a person their help-desk and application hotline is a freecall number (800) 232-5767.
Website Usability
In part due to it’s smaller size, the CFC Gold loans site is incredibly easy to use and all sections are very clearly signposted. The site is fully responsive making it just as easy to use on a computer as a phone.
Text sizes are large with excellent contrast between dark gray text on white or light gray backgrounds and with links generally in web-standard dark blue. Despite this already high level of clarity, the site offers a further accessibility menu allowing users to change display settings to allow for a wide range of conditions.
As for legals, disclaimers and FAQ – these are all easy to find as is full contact information.
Third Party Reviews of Collateral Finance Corporation
Due to it’s significantly smaller market size in comparison with more general bullion dealers, CFC do not have a large number of reviews – but those reviews they do have are overwhelmingly positive averaging 5 stars – with customers citing high quality service and fast turnarounds as big positives. CFC are not accredited with the BBB, but again this is most likely due to their comparatively small client base, and not a red flag.
