If you are going to invest in physical precious metals, an important question from a security perspective is where your investment will be kept. Through GoldRepublic you can buy gold, silver and platinum bullion and have it 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 gold or silver bullion under strict controls 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 held in an environment designed for professional wealth management.
If your investment is already stored at another location, such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt adds a second country without leaving the EU. This allows you to spread your risk without compromising on the familiar EU framework.
Once in the vault, your holdings remain under independent supervision. The periodic physical inspection is carried out by Alex Stewart International (ASI), a globally recognised authority in precious metal audits. ASI verifies and certifies that every bar matches the stated specifications and weights exactly. The inspection is independent of both GoldRepublic and vault custodian Loomis, and is therefore conducted entirely independently.
Below you will find the bar allocations of all GoldRepublic customers, listed under their anonymous nicknames. In the overview below, you can verify that all precious metal is 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 location in Frankfurt meets the strictest international security standards. The same applies to transport. That is why GoldRepublic works with Loomis: an international specialist in secure valuables transport 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 bullion 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 metal. This is charged pro rata and billed monthly in arrears. The fact that external, independent custody generally costs slightly more than storage with parties that operate their own vaults is a deliberate choice: it is the price of demonstrable independence and the integrity of your assets.

U vindt de adressen van onze kluislocaties terug in de officiële inventarislijsten van de onafhankelijke kluisbewaarder. Via de openbare kluiscontrole kunt u bovendien zelf verifiëren dat uw goud of zilver in de kluis in Amsterdam aanwezig en correct toegewezen is.
Via onze unieke en openbare kluiscontrole kunt u anoniem verifiëren dat uw specifieke baren aanwezig en correct toegewezen zijn. Onafhankelijke externe auditors, zoals Alex Stewart International, controleren periodiek de fysieke inhoud van de kluis en stemmen deze af met de administratie.
Het wijzigen van uw opslaglocatie is in principe mogelijk nadat u goud heeft aangekocht. Dit dient geregeld te worden via onze klantenservice. Houd er rekening mee dat hier extra kosten aan verbonden zijn. Neem contact op met de klantenservice om de mogelijkheden te bespreken.
