How We Rank Gold IRA Companies

Companies are scored quarterly across four weighted criteria:

  • BBB rating and complaint resolution history (30%)
  • Published fee transparency — setup, annual, storage, termination (30%)
  • Minimum investment requirement (20%)
  • Verified customer service response time via inquiry testing (20%)

We do not accept payment for rankings. Affiliate links generate referral fees that do not influence scores.
