Store gold safely

Autor: Rolf van Zanten Date: 26 February 2025 Update: 26 February 2025 Reading time: 5 min

Safely storing gold is of great importance to anyone who owns physical gold as an investment. Gold is highly valuable and dense, making it vulnerable to theft or loss if not stored properly. There are several ways to safely store your gold, from a safe deposit box at home to specialized storage facilities.
 
Professional storage often offers more security than home storage, allowing you to optimally protect your investment. The precious metal is also better insured in this case. At The Silver Mountain, you choose secure storage options, such as professional vaults in the Netherlands and Switzerland.
 

Why is safe gold storage important?

Safely storing gold is essential to protect your investment from theft, damage or loss. Gold is popular with burglars, which is a risk if kept at home.
Additionally, gold is often not fully insured when stored at home. That’s why it’s important to choose a secure and reliable storage method, such as a bank vault or a specialized off-site storage facility. At The Silver Mountain, you can take advantage of a variety of storage options, including secure vaults.

Benefits of professional storage via Edelmetaal Beheer Nederland

Edelmetaal Beheer Nederland, a subsidiary of The Silver Mountain, offers professional gold storage services in the Netherlands and Switzerland. The benefits of our services include strict security measures and periodic audits by an independent accountant.
This gives you the guarantee that your gold is stored safely and that you always have access to your precious metal. This professional storage offers a significantly higher level of protection than home storage or a standard bank vault.
 

Storing gold in a bank vault

Another option for precious metal storage is to store your gold in a bank vault. Banks often offer secure vaults where you can store your valuables.
While this is a safer option than home storage, there are some limitations, such as limited access times and the fact that your gold may not be fully insured. For these reasons, a professional storage facility such as Edelmetaal Beheer Nederland is often a better choice.
 

The risks of storing gold at home

While it may be tempting and convenient to store gold at home, it carries significant risks. Home storage offers less protection against theft, and gold stored at home is often difficult to fully insure.
Additionally, physically storing large amounts of gold at home can be impractical and dangerous. Therefore, we recommend storing your gold in a professional location to minimize these risks and best protect your investment by storing the gold in a secure storage facility.
 

Store gold safely abroad

Looking to store gold safely abroad? Switzerland is a popular choice due to its strong regulations and tax benefits. By storing your gold in Swiss vaults, you benefit from tax exemption on investment gold, while also enjoying the highest level of security.
The Silver Mountain offers storage facilities in Switzerland through its subsidiary Edelmetaal Beheer Nederland, where your gold is kept under strict security and insurance. Are you ready to store your gold safely? Contact The Silver Mountain for advice on the best storage solutions for your gold.
