My experience is excellent with this company

My experience is excellent with this company
Managing time zones moving money from my bank and getting it to bullion vault is probably the most difficult part in waiting. It can be a half a day or it could be as much as five days however generally I believe it’s the best way to hold gold and silver without it just being a number on a paper…. It is real cold and silver set aside with a vaults with your name.

They charge to store gold and silver but don't tell you initially!

The company advertises that they store the gold and silver on your behalf, assuring the customer it is safe... but they conveniently forget to inform that they charge for the service. It is £8 per month for silver of any quantity! That is ridiculous as they already profit from the commissions. Closing down my account.

Dear JP,

We’re transparent and proud of our low fees which is why we advertise them in the first paragraph of our homepage, on the first screen of our mobile app and in our freely available tariff.

https://www.bullionvault.co.uk/help/tariff.html

You pay a low 0.5% commission when you trade, and storage (including insurance) is 0.01% per month for gold (subject to a $4 minimum), and 0.04% per month for silver (subject to an $8 minimum and not £8).

If you find a cheaper way to buy, store, and sell physical gold and silver, we’d be genuinely pleased to hear about it.

Kind regards,

The BullionVault Team

Opening my account and purchase of silver bullion was straightforward and secure .

Opening my account and transfer of funds was simple, after you have informed your own bank in advance. Banks will block large transfers of money for security checking for possible scams.
Trading , buying silver, for me on the board was simple and the comprehensive information on purchases in my account was excellent.
I no longer buy silver from UK bullion dealers because of additional cost of VAT in particular. BullionVault provides a safe, secure system for purchase of bullion and for storage with the ability to sell in the future.

First time trader in silver

I’m a first time trader in silver.

The purchasing board was very user friendly for making bullion purchases. The site is also very serious about security and verifying my identity thoroughly. Completed all desired bullion orders within 10 minutes at the two desired storage locations. One was in Zurich and the other in Singapore. I read that these locations provide the most privacy from prying governmental agencies. The buying process was actually fun.

The staff are very responsive to emails and quickly resolved a problem I had. Was not always able to reach them by phone, but realized it’s much better to submit, handle and respond in written format anyway.

They do not offer texting or calling you with a security code as a two step sign on method. BullionVault does provide two step security through the use of a security App , or by securing a thumb drive type device. I strongly recommend getting one of these methods. With either system, even if a hacker gets your user name and password, they will be unable to get into your account. I chose the thumb drive option which costs around $75.00.

To fund your account quickly, I recommend wiring the funds from your Bank. It is by far the quickest way of getting your trading started. Enjoy 😊!

Straight forward and does what it says…

Straight forward and does what it says on the tin. Was very quick to deposit funds, interface, while maybe not completely pretty, is simple and functional. Emails confirming my orders were quick, and good information on the website. Very pleased.

Dear Alex,

We're sorry for the delay in returning your funds. The deposit method you used to fund your BullionVault account can be used fraudulently and a restriction on withdrawals is made for 60 days following the deposit. Users are warned of this before depositing so we are a little surprised to receive your review. There are other ways of depositing without this restriction.

The 60 day period ends tomorrow and you will be able to initiate a withdrawal back to your bank account.

Kind regards,

The BullionVault Team
