If you are going to invest in physical precious metals, an important question from a security perspective is where your investment will be stored. Through GoldRepublic, you can buy gold, silver, and platinum in physical form and have them stored at various locations. One of these locations is an independent vault in Frankfurt: the financial heart of the eurozone. This vault location is attractive to investors who want to protect their investment gold or silver under strict supervision within the EU.
Storing gold or silver in Frankfurt is an excellent choice for these reasons:
Germany is known for its stable and predictable legal system. This provides a strong legal foundation.
Frankfurt is home to the European Central Bank, among other institutions, and has one of the most highly developed financial infrastructures in Europe. Your precious metals are therefore kept in an environment built for professional asset management.
If you already store your investment at another location, such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt adds a second country without you having to leave the EU. This allows you to spread your risk without compromising on the trusted EU framework.
Once in the vault, your holdings remain under independent oversight. The periodic physical inspection is carried out by Alex Stewart International (ASI), a globally recognized authority in precious metals audits. ASI verifies and certifies that every bar exactly matches the stated specifications and weights. The inspection is separate from both GoldRepublic and vault custodian Loomis, and is therefore conducted completely independently.
Below you will find the bar allocations of all GoldRepublic customers, listed by their anonymous nicknames. In the overview below, you can verify that all precious metals are present in the vaults and that no more grams have been allocated to a bar than the bar's total weight. This transparency is unique and rare in the gold market.

The vault facility in Frankfurt meets the strictest international security standards. The same applies to transport. That is why GoldRepublic partners with Loomis: an international specialist in the secure transport of valuables and precious metals. Loomis transports your investment directly from the refinery to the vault under strict security protocols. Loomis then manages the storage on site.
Storing silver or gold in Frankfurt takes place with a professional, independent vault custodian. You can count on:
The fees for storing gold or silver in Frankfurt are calculated as a fixed annual percentage of the current value of your precious metals. This is charged pro rata and billed monthly in arrears. External, independent custody typically costs slightly more than storage with parties that operate their own vaults, and that is a deliberate choice: it is the price of demonstrable independence and the integrity of your assets.
