About Us

Zaner Metals LLC is one of the Zaner Group family of companies, which has been serving clients for over 45 years.

Our association with regulated entities (Zaner Financial Services LLC and Zaner Capital Markets LLC) makes us extraordinarily unique among physical precious metals dealers and services providers. Plus, our clients enjoy an additional measure of comfort when making such significant decisions. We are members of the National Coin & Bullion Association, International Precious Metals Institute, Round Table Trading and CCE. The Zaner Metals team has decades of experience in the industry and our company has deep relationships with banks and liquidity providers, bar and coin dealers, wholesalers, Mint Authorized Dealers, refiners, recyclers, hedgers and traders. This gives our team a level of market breadth and insight unsurpassed in the industry.

Our first product to aid dealers was Tornado (now ZMhedge), which allowed its users to automate hedges down to the ounce. We saw that many bullion and coin dealers did not know the benefits of hedging – or even how hedging worked – so we wanted to spread the importance of risk mitigation and help dealers secure their margins.

As we worked with ZMhedge clients, we saw many other issues challenging the average dealer–difficulties managing an effective inventory system, troubles with integrating into online storefronts, and much more. So, we got down to business and built an entire suite of products designed to help your business run more efficiently and stand out from the competition.

Our goal is not to just sell you some software and wish you the best. Being a family-owned business, we know the importance of people and personal connection. We have a whole team of brokers, developers, and passionate workers at your side ready to help you sell more and connect more, with confidence!
