At GoldRepublic, your physical bullion is stored in your name in highly secure, independent vaults operated by professional external custodians. All of your stored bullion is insured against theft and damage, regardless of the location where you choose to store it. At the same time, the precious metal remains fully your property.
From the refinery, the precious metal is transported directly to the location(s) of your choice. This is carried out by professional secure transport companies such as Brink's, Loomis or Helveticor, depending on the location.
The custodians, Brink’s and Loomis, maintain and publish daily inventory lists, so you can verify that your precious metal is actually there. In addition, the physical holdings are periodically audited by the independent party Alex Stewart International (ASI).
Where best to store your silver, platinum or gold bullion depends on your preferences. The key considerations are:
Whichever location you choose, you can count on optimal security, insurance against theft and damage, and independent periodic audits.
The annual storage costs are 0.5% ex VAT for gold and 1% ex VAT for silver and platinum, calculated on the total market value of your holdings. These costs apply at all storage locations, and insurance is included at every location. The costs are calculated pro rata and charged monthly.
Handling fees and VAT rates may vary by location. For the current rates, see the pricing page or the specific page for each storage location.

The main difference lies in the VAT treatment. When stored in Zurich Switzerland or Frankfurt Germany silver and platinum can be purchased VAT free through a bonded warehouse structure. When stored in Amsterdam VAT applies to silver. For gold there is no difference as investment gold is VAT exempt across the UK and EU.
Yes the physical presence of all stored precious metals is regularly verified by independent auditors. These audits ensure that every gram of metal is physically present in the vault. In addition you can view your holdings at any time through your online account.
Whether you pay VAT on silver and platinum depends on your chosen storage location. When stored in Zurich or Frankfurt the metals are held in a bonded warehouse and are therefore not subject to VAT. If you choose storage in Amsterdam VAT applies to silver. Investment gold is VAT free in all locations.
Changing your storage location is generally not possible after you have purchased precious metals. In certain cases this may be arranged via customer support but additional costs will apply. Please contact customer service to discuss the available options.
