To create a storage account, please follow the steps below:
After completing these steps, your storage account will be created.
You can also easily create an account through the Holland Gold App. However, only a personal account can be created in the app. Would you like to open a joint (and/or) account, business account, or child account? This can only be done via the website, under ‘Settings’ → ‘Create extra account’.
You can place an order with Holland Gold with or without a storage account. When selecting the shipping method, choose ‘storage’. If you do not yet have a storage account, you will later receive instructions on how to open one. Please note: you can only sell precious metals from storage once your storage account has been created.
Yes, your precious metal is insured in storage.
Here you can find more information about storing your precious metal via Holland Gold Safe, including the insurance of storage locations.
Yes, you can withdraw your precious metals from storage at any time; however, this depends on the location where your metals are stored. Below, we explain how this process works for each storage location:
You can easily withdraw the precious metals you have stored in the Netherlands, if desired. The metals can either be delivered to your registered address in the Netherlands, or you can collect them from one of the Holland Gold offices. To arrange this, please contact us by phone. We will then send you the necessary documentation.
It is also possible to withdraw precious metals from storage in Singapore or Switzerland. However, please note that transport costs from Switzerland and Singapore are significantly higher than from the Netherlands. In addition, “white metals” (silver, platinum, and palladium) must be imported and subject to VAT. This is also an expensive process. For these reasons, it is rare for precious metals to be transported from Switzerland or Singapore to the Netherlands. In most cases, it is more cost-effective to sell your metals and repurchase them in the Netherlands.
Would you like to have the precious metals from your precious metal account delivered to you? This is also possible. Read more here about how delivery of your precious metals works.
The Stichting Derdengelden Holland Gold Safe serves as an additional layer of control within the storage process. When you sell precious metals or wish to have them withdrawn from the vault, there is essentially “an extra lock on the door.”
The Stichting Derdengelden Holland Gold Safe first verifies that the payment has been made to you. Only then is permission granted for the precious metals to leave the vault location. If you wish to withdraw your precious metals from storage, the foundation first checks the documents and the request. Only after this verification will the metals be released from storage, and the foundation ensures that they are either delivered to you or collected by us.
How selling precious metals from storage works depends on which product you are selling: bars and coins or through the precious metal account. Both processes are explained below:
You can sell your precious metals 24/7 via the precious metal account in the client portal or via the Holland Gold App. The funds will be transferred to your registered account within one business day.
At this time, it is not yet possible to sell your stored bars and coins without assistance from a Holland Gold employee. Below are the steps you need to follow to sell bars and coins from storage:
Yes, in your account under ‘Settings’ you can create an additional account for your child. Please note: you will need a valid form of identification for your child to complete the verification process.
The precious metal in storage at Holland Gold Safe expressly remains your property and does not fall into the estate of Holland Gold Safe BV. This way you are assured that your precious metal will always remain yours. If Holland Gold Safe does go bankrupt, a trustee will work with the Stichting Derdengelden Holland Gold Safe to see how the storage business can be continued. As a customer, you can always request that your precious metal be removed from storage at this event.
Incidentally, the chance of bankruptcy of the storage company is very small, because in the chosen structure the operating costs fall into the trading company Holland Gold (Bulliongroup BV) in order to protect the storage company. The structure is part of the licence by the AFM reviewed and approved.
Do you have any questions about this? Please contact us by phone.
