Stichting Derdengelden Holland Gold Safe is an independent foundation that supervises the release of precious metals from storage. Gold, silver, platinum or palladium cannot be removed from the vault by Holland Gold alone. Approval from the foundation is always required.

How does Stichting Derdengelden Holland Gold Safe work?

When you sell precious metals held in storage, Stichting Derdengelden Holland Gold Safe first checks whether the sale and payment have been processed according to the correct procedure. Only then does the foundation authorise the release of the gold, silver, platinum or palladium from the vault.

Would you like to withdraw your precious metals from storage? The foundation first reviews the request and the related documents. The precious metals are released for delivery or collection only after this check has been completed.

Why does this foundation exist?

This independent check helps prevent precious metals from being removed from storage without a valid reason or the correct documentation. The foundation therefore provides an additional layer of protection for customers’ property, alongside Holland Gold’s AFM licence and the annual audit.
