Company Description
Albemarle & Bond trades bling for cold hard cash. The company operates some 115 pawnshops throughout the UK, lending cash almost exclusively against the security of jewelry. There is no limit on the amount of the loan, but the average is around £140 ($230). Pawn broking accounts for about 60% of Albemarle & Bond's annual profit. A majority of loans are redeemed; the remaining unclaimed jewelry is sold to repay the loan and interest, making Albemarle & Bond one of the largest jewelry retailers in the UK. Additionally, the company sells new jewelery, offers gold purchasing services, and it cashes third-party checks, and issues payday advances. US-based
