When you decide to invest in physical precious metals, security is naturally a top priority. Through GoldRepublic, you can have your physical gold or silver bullion stored in external, independent vault locations, including Amsterdam. This vault location in GoldRepublic's home country is ideally suited to investors who want to keep their physical precious metals tangible, close at hand and protected under strict supervisory frameworks.
Physically storing your purchased precious metals in a vault in Amsterdam offers strategic and operational advantages:
Your precious metal holdings are located in the Netherlands, the home base of GoldRepublic. This gives you a tangible sense of control and absolute transparency.
Although your bullion is stored under heavy security, you can liquidate your positions through our platform 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you wish, you can use your GoldRepublic account to sell your gold or silver at the quoted market price.
All investment gold is exempt from VAT in the EU. This means that when you store your gold in a vault in Amsterdam, you do not pay 21% VAT on the purchase of your gold.
Once in the vault, your holdings are under constant supervision. The independent, periodic physical inspection is carried out by Alex Stewart International, a globally recognised authority in the field of precious metals audits.
They verify and certify that every bar matches the stated specifications and weights exactly.
Below you will find the bar allocations of all GoldRepublic customers, listed under their anonymous nicknames. In the overview below, you can verify that all the precious metal is present in the vaults and that no more grams have been allocated to a bar than the bar's total weight. The transparency we offer at GoldRepublic is unique and rare in the gold market.

The vault location in Amsterdam is set up in line with the strictest international security standards. Here, GoldRepublic works exclusively with renowned global market leaders in logistics and management.

You can count on:
The cost of highly secured, insured and audited storage in Amsterdam is calculated as a fixed annual percentage of the current value of your precious metal. In Amsterdam, the storage costs are 0.5% per year (ex. VAT) for gold and 1% for silver (ex. VAT).
This fee is charged pro rata, monthly in arrears. Although the cost of this external, independent vault custody is generally higher than with parties that operate their own vaults, it guarantees the absolute integrity of your assets.
