UNDERSTANDING SKR

What Is a Safe Keeping Receipt?

A Safe Keeping Receipt (SKR) is a document issued by a custodian or storage provider acknowledging the safekeeping of specified assets under stated conditions.

Depending on the issuer, custody arrangement, asset ownership and applicable legal framework, an SKR may form part of the documentation considered during a secured financing assessment.

An SKR alone does not automatically establish ownership, transferability or financing eligibility. Authenticity, custody, control, title and enforceability must be independently verified.

  • Identification of the underlying physical assets
  • Verification of the issuing custodian
  • Confirmation of ownership and custody arrangements
  • Assessment of applicable security rights

COMMON QUESTIONS

SKR for Assets – FAQs

Does every SKR qualify for financing?

Gold, silver, platinum, copper, nickel and other qualifying commodities may be considered depending on institutional criteria.

Is physical inspection necessary?
