"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "You'll have seen the current prices for buying gold, and selling, on our front page. At the moment, in ounces, it’s about [Sell] – [Buy]. Where do our gold, silver, platinum and palladium prices come from? They come from other BullionVault users, just like you. BullionVault offers a marketplace exchange in accredited, pre-vaulted, privately owned, professional market bullion. You get to deal directly with another user who wants to sell when you want to buy, and vice-versa. You both save money by cutting out the middleman, both when you buy and when you sell. It’s easy too. You'll check the price on a <a onclick="showChart('/gold-price-chart.do'); return false" href="/gold-price-chart.do">price chart</a>, choose your own dealing limit price, and enter your order. The more competitive the price you post the higher your chance of doing a deal, and if you offer to pay the price at which somebody is already offering (the ‘Buy‘ price, or ‘Best Offer‘ - here ) you'll deal straight away. There is 24/7 competition between users to offer each other the best price. That’s why BullionVault prices are genuinely ‘competitive’. Our website makes using an exchange very simple and safe for you, and people from all over the world have quickly got the hang of it and empowered themselves to deal gold cheaper. Open exchanges and competing quotes get you better prices. That's why we do it this way. But if you're a bit nervous just call us. We're more than happy to help you through your deal on the telephone."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "How deep is BullionVault's liquidity?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "BullionVault offers you exceptionally reliable and deep liquidity through four complementary channels.<ol class="indentedList faqList"><li>The best price is usually offered by another BullionVault user. You deal direct with them, cutting out the middleman to your mutual advantage. This direct client-to-client dealing accounts for about 65% of trading volume on BullionVault. However clients aren't forced to quote great prices, so about 35% of the time our own price is better for you. That means you'll trade directly with BullionVault itself – via one of our robots.</li><li>'Robots' are computer programs which receive an electronic price feed and use it to quote prices on the BullionVault Order Board in just the same way as you and other clients do. Ours manage BullionVault's own $40 million inventory. Robots are subject to the same limitations as you, which means they can only sell what they already own physically in the vault, or buy with their cleared cash balance. You buy from them, or sell to them, just like you would directly with another client, but only while they offer a better price. It's as simple as that. BullionVault's robots usually quote prices in larger quantities than most clients do; sufficient to deal $2m worth instantaneously when world bullion markets are open. In normal circumstances they quote prices 24/7 and offer the most dependable and instantly accessible medium-size liquidity of any bullion trading environment anywhere in the world. Clients with an interest in computer programming often develop robots for themselves and use them to trade like professional dealers. This brings yet more liquidity to the marketplace.</li><li>Sometimes, like on the day Lehman Brothers went bust, clients acquire all the immediately available stock from our robots. Although we immediately buy new stock to replace what was sold it takes 48 hours to be delivered, and because the gold is not yet in the vault the robots have no stock to sell. At such times you benefit enormously from the access BullionVault gives you to the liquidity of the full depth of the London market. You can enter an order to buy or sell at the benchmark prices published by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). These prices represent the deepest daily pool of bullion market liquidity in the world – typically restricted just to professionals, which is why you access it through us. We allow you to buy or sell as much gold as you want at the Daily Price, and we take onto our own stock the rounded up fraction of a 400 oz bar. The London Prices published by the LBMA are used widely all around the world.</li><li>Finally we offer a special service for larger clients. They can telephone deal through us directly on the London Spot Market. During the London trading day they can deal whole bars of gold (400 oz multiples), half pallets of silver (16,000 oz multiples) or a minimum of 4 bars (18.66 kg) of platinum or palladium at the world market price. You might not realise how this service for wealthy customers contributes to your liquidity; but it does. Suppose a wealthy client had 400 oz of gold in BullionVault already, but with heavy demand from buyers there were few offers on the Order Board. The cheapest gold on BullionVault would start to drift above the world market price, as bidders bid over the world price. But the wealthy client can execute a spot market order to buy at the world market price, and offer the gold they already own in the vault to other BullionVault users for a small but easy profit. That's natural market forces being used to keep liquidity flowing at fair prices – and it works on BullionVault because anyone who can make settlement to the main market, in whole bars, can use the main market as a source or sink of bullion.</li></ol>We believe the best way to offer you highly reliable and fairly priced liquidity is to open channels to the largest number of market participants and back it up with access to the deepest markets. Most of our competitors provide you with a single counterparty – themselves – and this reflects in their pricing. So if reliable liquidity at fair prices is what you are looking for, then BullionVault sets the standard.Main market trades in options 3 and 4 incur a two business day settlement delay and have a different fee structure. Please see the tariff."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Is BullionVault open- or closed-ended?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "BullionVault is open-ended. An inbound or outbound armoured delivery is run whenever there are several bars to collect or deliver. Usually this is about twice a week. BullionVault itself is the main user of this open-ended structure, which lets us manage our own inventory to act as a buffer between the smaller investment sizes typical of retail investors, and the larger settlement quanta of the professional bullion market. However any BullionVault user who wishes to make or take delivery of 1 bar of gold (400 oz), a half pallet of silver (16,000 oz) or a minimum of 4 bars (18.66 kg) of platinum or palladium can use the same open-ended nature of the system by settling their professional spot market trades directly into or out of the vault."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "How does BullionVault compare to coins/bars and ETFs?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Compared to coins and small bars Coins and small bars are normally 7% more expensive than gold on BullionVault. Dealers also tend to buy back at a discount of about 1%. BullionVault prices can be compared reliably against the published spot price. Our gold buying and selling prices are usually well within 0.2% of spot, and silver and platinum within 1%. Although storing coins and small bars at home is free, it is not usually the <a id="hp-faq-1-4-modal-link" class="modal-link" href="/modals/allocated-gold.do">wise geopolitical option</a>. You will probably need to arrange your own insurance. For gold this is likely to be 10 times as much as BullionVault's combined storage and insurance fee of 0.12% for gold. Compared to ETFs (Exchange-traded funds) With ETFs, you never actually own physical gold. According to their trust deeds some ETFs are not even backed by gold; they are designed to track the gold price using complex derivatives. At BullionVault, we don't make something complex out of something simple. You own your gold. With ETFs, you would pay a storage fee of around 0.40%, and most ETF gold is not insured, even within that fee. At BullionVault, storage and insurance costs just 0.12% per annum for gold. The huge majority of ETF gold is stored in London and New York. The ETF manager chooses the jurisdiction – you don't. At BullionVault, we believe a choice of storage jurisdictions is important – as is the ability to switch. We let you choose. About 75% of our users choose Zurich, in Switzerland. ETFs are traded on major stock exchanges, which tend to be open 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Not only do the results of referenda and elections usually come out overnight, but also there is now a <a class="modal-link" href="/modals/markets-closed.do">growing list</a> of crises which the authorities have deliberately kept hidden until late Friday evening, so as to avoid the judgment of the markets for as long as possible. To their regular frustration this prevents ETF owners trading at the most important and advantageous times. Being a 24/7 service BullionVault remains open, and becomes exceptionally active during these events."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Who is BullionVault's regulator?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "BullionVault is regulated under English law. More complex regulation under financial services rules does not apply, because our service concerns your outright ownership of physical property. Physical precious metals are a commodity, not a credit risk or a paper-based right traded as a security. So the trading, safe custody and delivery of bullion fall outside the terms and scope of the UK's Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. That means BullionVault is not, cannot, and does not need to be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It is governed by English law. If you were to think BullionVault had committed a crime, bringing a criminal case is not something you would have to do yourself. You would report – for example – a theft, and the investigation and prosecution would be the duty of the London Metropolitan Police, the UK Crown Prosecution Service, and the Criminal Court system. In addition you have recourse to the civil law if, for example, you were to allege that we were acting in breach of our stated Terms and Conditions, which set out the business arrangement between us. Note that bringing a case under civil law would ordinarily incur costs for you. Although it is not regulated by the FCA, BullionVault adopts many of the duties which have been applied by the financial services regulator to businesses which have responsibilities for other, less tangible, stores of private wealth. These include:<ul><li>the segregation of customer property to be held independent of a company's finances;</li><li>the keeping of accurate records and the availability of those records for inspection;</li><li>the declaration of a conflict of interest when acting as principal in a transaction;</li><li>accountability to written Terms of Business;</li><li>adherence to a specified complaints procedure;</li><li>maintenance of a compensation fund.</li></ul>What's more, the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) – of which BullionVault has been a full member since 2008 – defines the standards and practices of good commercial behaviour for the professional London bullion market, heart of the global precious metals trading and storage network. These standards are formalised as the Precious Metals Code, to which BullionVault adheres and which is recognized by the FCA as defining proper standards of market conduct in our sector. BullionVault is a rigorous adopter of all these good practices and seeks to maintain an environment where its compliance with these principles is visible and proven."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "What would happen if BullionVault failed?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Your ownership and title would not be affected, although there would likely be a short delay before you could realise its value, while a liquidator was appointed. A liquidator could not claim title to your bullion. That’s because you are the legal owner of all gold, silver, platinum and palladium that you buy through BullionVault. BullionVault is acting as a custodian, which is a status that's very different from your bank, and immeasurably safer for you. With a bank account, you transfer ownership of your money to the bank when you make a deposit. Your money then appears on the bank's balance sheet, and you become its creditor. The bank would become insolvent (and fail) if there were insufficient assets to meet the liabilities owed to all its creditors, and that tends to happen to banks periodically because their business is to lend your money for profit, not simply keep it in a vault. You have not made a deposit of gold to BullionVault. You are not BullionVault's creditor and do not appear on its balance sheet. Technically your gold, silver, platinum and palladium is the subject of a bailment - a legal status through which physical property remains yours while it is in the care of another. A liquidator cannot consider it an asset of the company, so would have no claim over it and must return it to you in full. BullionVault's finances are very strong. Very few companies maintain debt free cash and bullion reserves - available at short notice - sufficient to cover the gross costs of running their operation for five years without any revenue. The standard equivalent requirement for the banking industry is 3 months."

"name": "How can I be sure of the quality of the bullion?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Good delivery bars are manufactured by accredited refiners who are regularly subjected to double-blind tests by independent assayers. The bars spend their lives in accredited storage facilities and are transported only by accredited couriers. They are the only form of gold automatically trusted upon receipt by professional buyers. Once a year we send in independent specialist assayers who inspect the bullion and report to our auditors, who then publish the report on their own website for your inspection. We are completely confident regarding the quality of the bullion in our care, and provide a full, permanent, 100% guarantee of its quality. BullionVault gold bars are all of known weight and purity, which exceeds 99.5%. As with the rest of the professional bullion market only the pure gold content (gross weight * purity) is traded and recorded. The gold in your BullionVault account is therefore 100% pure. Silver, platinum and palladium are different. Good delivery silver and platinum bars are refined to 99.9% purity or better for silver and 99.95% purity or better for platinum and palladium and traded at gross weight. The good delivery silver, platinum and palladium in your account is at least 99.9% or 99.95% pure, respectively."

"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Your gold, silver, platinum and palladium are stored in formally recognised bullion storage facilities, managed by specialist vault operators who are leading providers of precious metal vault services and secure transportation around the world. Professional market vault operators produce what is called a Bar List. It's a bit like a bank statement, listing the account holder's stock of bars, and showing both the silver, fine gold, platinum or palladium content of each bar and the total amount of bullion held. We publish the bar lists produced by the vault operators for BullionVault users' bullion. BullionVault maintains the ownership records of all that bullion. Each day we publish online our daily register of owners, although we hide your identity by listing your holding against your alias. We also publish the total, and naturally the total matches the total on the bar list. No other bullion business provides this daily and independent client-by-client proof that the right amounts of bullion are in the vault."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Couldn't BullionVault's management suddenly authorise the removal of all the gold?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "No. There are powerful controls. First there are private protocols. We don't publish the details of those but they involve authorisation by several people from multiple companies. There is also a transparent public protocol. For a removal to occur a 'Withdrawal Declaration' must be published on the BullionVault website's front page 24 hours before the bullion moves. This declaration identifies by alias the holder who is making the withdrawal. Any user can then check the published register to see that the withdrawing user has at least the quantity of gold which is being declared for withdrawal. The vault operators are not allowed to complete a removal of bullion without confirming the validity of the public declaration for themselves. Additionally under no circumstances can an amount exceeding the larger of 25 kg, or 5% of the total stored, be removed from the operator's control on any one day."

It will always sound when a withdrawal request is entered, and before we wire your money. (A nominal charge of $0.20 per SMS applies.) Your linked bank account: When you transfer funds from your bank account to BullionVault the two accounts are linked together.

"@type": "Question",
"name": "What are the tax liabilities?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "We regret we cannot offer tax advice specific to your circumstances. The following is general. BullionVault operates from the UK where no taxes apply on the purchase of investment gold, silver, platinum or palladium bought for storage within the professional vaulting system. Depending upon your tax jurisdiction if you sell your bullion at a profit it is likely that you'd be liable to a form of capital gains tax. For example, if an individual resident in the UK made profits exceeding £3,000 on gold in the 2024/25 tax year - and no matter which jurisdiction they had traded in - they would be liable to a self-declared liability of 20% on profits above the £3,000 allowance. Many other western countries have similar systems, with an allowance and a tax on gains thereafter payable at a flat rate. Users often arrange to sell some of their bullion each year, but ensure that any profit they make stays within their allowance. While prices are rising this has the effect of providing tax free growth."
