Key Points of Our Solution
Secure storage outside the banking system
Storage outside of the banking system eliminates the risks of counterparty default (bankruptcy), bank account confiscations (bail-ins) and government confiscation, and permits access to one’s gold/silver quickly in the event of a temporary bank closure.
Your precious metals are protected by the strictest security rules and are insured against all risks, according to their value at the LBMA price, via an insurance contract subscribed by Malca-Amit with Lloyd's of London. Vaults are located in free-trade zones so no duties or taxes apply.
Ownership and storage in your name
Upon opening the own-name storage account, each client signs a direct contract with our partner Malca-Amit, which will then issue a certificate specifying his name and precious metals serial numbers.
This document constitutes the proof that the client stores in his own name, but also that his identity is known to the storage company. We do not store metals on behalf of clients, meaning there is no intermediation at the storage level.
Direct access to the vaults
Each client has direct, personal access to the vault and may visit by appointment to inspect or withdraw their precious metals. The presence of a representative is not required. Malca-Amit’s personnel and facilities guarantee a secure, discreet, neutral and comfortable environment.
Buyback of stored metals
We facilitate the liquidity of your investment by buying back products stored in Malca-Amit secured vaults. Kept within the professional logistics chain since their manufacture, the bars and coins thus retain their maximum resale value. The buyback process is generally completed within 2 business days.
The Legal Value of Your Storage Certificate
All our clients hold and store their precious metals in their own name (signature of a direct contract with the storage company, opening of a nominative storage account, issuance of a storage certificate specifying the identity of the client and the serial numbers of his products). There is therefore no intermediation between the client and his precious metals.
This means that, even in the event of our bankruptcy, your assets are protected, as they do not appear at any time on the balance sheet of our company nor of our storage partner.
The Ultimate Litmus Test:
"When you hold gold through a bank or other service provider, and you do not have an ownership title mentioning your name and your bars’ serial numbers, ask yourself: if a document does not clearly prove that I am the direct owner of my gold, on which company’s balance sheet does it appear? Who has real and legal possession of it?"
The storage certificate in your name is an ownership title. This document proves that you are the legal owner of the precious metals.
Our storage partner is subject to Swiss regulations for secure storage. It is this company, independent from us, which issues the storage certificates. According to current Swiss legislation, a company can only issue a storage certificate if the quantities of gold or silver it indicates are physically present in the vaults.
