Gold, silver, platinum and palladium storage

Why storage is important

When you want to preserve your purchasing power, owning precious metals is a good way to achieve that goal. When you own precious metal there are really only two options for storage - you can either store it yourself or you can let someone else store it for you.

And there is only one smart way to purchase precious metals, and that is to buy 100% allocated physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion. When you buy allocated physical gold bullion instead of ‘paper gold’ products where metal is held on a fractional basis only (less than 100% of the metal is held in storage for customers), you do not need to worry about counterparty risk and the ability of that party to make good on its promise to deliver metal to you when you request it.

When someone else stores precious metals for you, you need to be able to fully rely on that supplier. Your storage partner should have regular independent third party audits in place as well as sufficient insurance. You should have the option to choose from different vaults in different countries to diversify the location of your assets.

Secure, insured safekeeping of your precious metals at GoldMoney

At GoldMoney we provide you with all of the above. All gold, silver, platinum and palladium bars are held in secure, allocated storage in a vault of your choice in Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland or the UK. The vaults are operated by VIA MAT, a Swiss firm specialising in the secure transport and storage of valuable goods; Brink’s, one of America’s leading security companies; Rhenus, a well-respected German logistics business; and G4S, a leading international security firm based in the UK. For more information about these vault operators, see our Partners page. We also offer you the opportunity to easily transfer your metal from one vault to another.

Independent third parties ensure that there is always a 1-to-1 ratio of the metal stored in the vaults to the metal recorded in our database. Find out more about our robust security standards and all of GoldMoney’s benefits.

If for peace of mind you want to record ownership of specific bars rather than hold your metal in undivided form, we provide a variety of bar registration options.

Secure storage of your precious metals is at the very heart of our business.

• Gold and silver are stored in Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland, and the UK. Platinum is available for storage in Switzerland and Hong Kong. Palladium is available for storage in Hong Kong.
• Storage fees are only charged when you own gold, silver, platinum or palladium in GoldMoney. Storage includes insurance coverage against theft from the vault.
• Fees are deducted monthly from your Holding with a minimum fee of 0.001 goldgrams, 0.001 silver ounces, 0.001 platinum grams and 0.001 palladium grams per month. The storage fees for gold, silver, platinum and palladium are applied to each vault where you hold metal. Therefore, if you hold a balance of gold in both the UK and Switzerland, the gold storage fee will be applied separately to both balances.
• All storage fees are calculated and paid in goldgrams, silver ounces, platinum grams and palladium grams.
• If storage fees change we will notify you 30 days in advance.
