Consignments

The model

What is a consignment?

A consignment is a specific batch of gold acquired from mining operations. Each consignment is divided into 100 slots across three investment tiers. Investors buy slots, and at maturity (30 days), the consignment is liquidated and payouts are sent to investors' USDT wallets.

How much gold is in each consignment?

Each consignment ranges from several hundred grams to multiple kilograms, depending on the tier. The lowest tier starts at approximately 350 grams. Higher tiers involve significantly larger allocations.

How long does a consignment run?

All consignments run for 30 days from the cycle start date. At maturity, the consignment is liquidated and investors receive their original investment plus profit.

How many slots does each consignment have?

Each tier has 100 slots per consignment. One consignment runs at a time per tier. When all slots are filled, the cycle begins. If slots remain unfilled after a reasonable period, Admin may proceed with existing investors or cancel the cycle and return funds.

What happens after a consignment matures?

The fund is liquidated and paid out to each investor's USDT wallet. After all payouts are processed, a new consignment cycle opens for that tier.

Investing

Returns & payouts

What are the investment tiers?

There are three tiers:

  • Tier 1: $100 USDT — 10% return — $10 profit — $110 total payout
  • Tier 2: $1,000 USDT — 25% return — $250 profit — $1,250 total payout
  • Tier 3: $5,000 USDT — 50% return — $2,500 profit — $7,500 total payout

When do I receive my returns?

At the end of the 30-day consignment cycle. You receive your original investment plus your profit in a single USDT payout to your wallet.

Can I invest in more than one tier?

Yes. You can purchase slots in multiple tiers simultaneously. Each slot operates independently with its own consignment cycle and maturity date.

Can I buy multiple slots in the same tier?

Yes. Subject to availability, you can purchase multiple slots within a consignment. Contact admin if you wish to buy more than 5 slots in a single consignment.

Withdrawals & crypto

USDT transactions

Can I withdraw early?

Withdrawals are locked for the first 21 days. Between day 22 and day 30, you may request early withdrawal. This forfeits all profit and incurs a 15% early withdrawal fee on your original investment.

Do you accept bank transfers?

No. All investments and payouts are in USDT via crypto wallets only. No bank accounts, no EFTs, no fiat currency. Crypto in, crypto out.

What is USDT?

USDT (Tether) is a cryptocurrency stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. 1 USDT = $1. It allows for fast, low-fee international transfers without banks.

How do I send USDT?

After your application is approved, admin will provide you with the USDT wallet address to send your investment to. You can send USDT from any major exchange (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken) or wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet).

Do you offer physical gold delivery?

No. This is a digital investment platform. All returns are paid in USDT to your crypto wallet. No physical delivery options are available.

Who pays the blockchain transaction fees?

Transaction fees on the blockchain are the responsibility of the investor. Payouts are sent net of network fees.

Governance & access

Everything else

Do investors have voting rights?

No. GoldBand Collective operates with a centralized management structure. All operational decisions are made by the GoldBand admin team. Investors earn returns without decision-making obligations.

Can I see the fund status before investing?

No. Fund totals, slots filled, and days remaining are visible only to investors who have purchased a slot in that tier. Once you invest, your dashboard unlocks this information for your tier.

How do I apply?

Submit your application via the Apply page. Our team reviews every application individually. Once approved, you'll receive payment instructions.

Is this an online-only platform?

Yes. GoldBand Collective is an online platform to invest in gold consignments. This is gold arbitrage — buying early into consignments and receiving returns at maturity. Everything is handled digitally.
