You do not need to physically take possession of the precious metals you purchase through GoldRepublic. They are stored in highly secure, independent external vaults in the Netherlands, Switzerland, or Germany. Find out here how storage works and how you benefit from optimal security and insurance.
At GoldRepublic, your precious metals are physically stored in highly secure, independent vaults in Amsterdam, Zurich, or Frankfurt.
Even though your purchased gold, silver or platinum is in storage, you retain 100% legal ownership (custody) of your precious metals.
Unlike home storage, where risks such as burglary, theft, or fire are real and insurance does not always provide sufficient coverage, at GoldRepublic you benefit from professional security, continuous monitoring, and control.
The vaults are managed by independent vault custodians such as Brink's and Loomis. They maintain daily inventory lists and publish them so that you can verify at any time that your gold, silver, or platinum is actually stored in the vault. You will also receive a daily email with your proof of ownership and bar number(s) for the precious metal you have purchased through GoldRepublic.
In addition, external audits are conducted periodically by reputable accounting firms that check the physical stocks and compare them with the digital records. Thanks to this combination of daily transparency and independent checks, GoldRepublic offers a high degree of security and openness.


Your purchased and stored precious metals are fully insured against damage and theft. The insurance is included in the storage costs you pay. The insurance policies can be viewed on our website.
At GoldRepublic, you pay transparent and competitive rates for the storage of your precious metals. The annual storage costs are 0.5% for gold and 1% for silver and platinum, calculated on the total market value of your holdings.
