Process
How Vault Storage Works
From purchase to secure custody — every step is tracked, insured, and verifiable.
Purchase Gold
Buy gold through Vaultora. Payment clears and gold is allocated to your account instantly.
Bar Allocation
Specific bars are assigned to your ownership with unique serial numbers recorded in the registry.
Vault Custody
Bars are transferred to your chosen vault hub and stored in segregated, allocated storage.
Certificate Issued
Digital certificate generated immediately. Verify anytime via our public verification portal.
Protection
What's Included With Storage
Every vaulted gram includes comprehensive protection — not just shelf space.
Allocated Storage
Your gold is stored separately — never pooled, lent, or commingled with other clients' assets.
Full Insurance
All vaulted gold is covered by comprehensive all-risk insurance through Lloyd's of London and regional underwriters.
Bank-Grade Security
Biometric access, 24/7 surveillance, armed guards, and dual-control vault mechanisms at every facility.
Quarterly Audits
Independent third-party firms verify inventory against customer records every quarter. Reports available to Elite clients.
Serial Tracking
Every bar is weighed, assayed, and assigned a unique serial number matched to your certificate.
Climate Controlled
Temperature and humidity-controlled environments preserve bar integrity and purity over decades.
Why It Matters
Allocated vs Unallocated Storage
Not all gold storage is equal. Vaultora only offers allocated, segregated custody.
| Feature | Vaultora (Allocated) | Unallocated / Pooled |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Specific bars assigned to you | General pool claim |
| Serial numbers | Unique per bar | Not tracked |
| Lending risk | Never lent or leased | May be rehypothecated |
| Bankruptcy protection | Segregated from platform | Counterparty exposure |
| Certificate | Per-bar digital certificate | Account balance only |
| Audit trail | Full serial-level tracking | Aggregate only |

Storage FAQ
Can I choose which vault stores my gold? +
Yes. At purchase you can select your preferred vault hub — New York, Zurich, Singapore, or Dubai. You can also request a vault transfer for a nominal fee.
Is my gold ever lent or leased? +
Never. Vaultora operates strictly allocated, segregated storage. Your bars are never lent, leased, rehypothecated, or used for any purpose other than secure custody.
What happens if a vault is compromised? +
Full insurance covers replacement at spot value. Additionally, inventory is distributed across four independent facilities to minimize concentration risk.
How are storage fees charged? +
Fees are calculated monthly based on your holdings' live spot value and deducted from your wallet balance. Rates depend on your account tier (0.35%–0.65% annually).
Can I visit the vault? +
Elite clients can arrange supervised vault visits by appointment. For security reasons, walk-in visits are not permitted at any facility.
