HB Warehouse Receipt
HB Warehouse Receipts allow our clients to readily finance their physical metal and commodity stocks that are stored in our global network of Henry Bath warehouses
LMEshield Receipt
LMEshield is the new central electronic register for the efficient and secure creation and transfer of off-warrant warehouse receipts. LMEshield Receipts, issued under licence by Henry Bath, allow our clients to facilitate effective collateral management through tracking the underlying commodity, recording its financing status and accelerating the financing process. LMEshield reduces risks related to document fraud and provides auditable functionality for formal electronic transfers of commodities.
Operating Model
Our heritage as a founder member of the LME - issuer of the first ever LME Warrant in 1883 and first LMEShield Receipt in 2016 – is backed up with best-in-class security, safety and operational risk management controls.
