Straightfordward to use

I have used this platform for a number of years. It is straight forward to invest and then buy and sell gold or other precious metals. If an issue arises they respond extremely fast and have the answer at their finger tips.

I started to fill out paperwork in…

I started to fill out paperwork in October. After many exchanges of demands for documents, supplying those documents, and more demands, sometimes for the same documents, I had the account open and ready to receive funds in February. Three weeks later, I succeeded in getting a wire transfer into the account, and immediately invested in platinum gold, and palladium.

Immediately after I invested, the value of the account was down 1% from before buying the bullion. Now it's the following day, and the value of my bullion is worth 94% of what it was yesterday.

I guess I'm in this for the longer term.

Dear SMJ,

Thank you for your comments, and thank you for your validating your account.

Personal accounts are quick and easy to validate. Tens of thousands of our users have successfully accomplished it within a matter of hours or days after uploading the requested documents. Typically, these are just a copy of an official photo ID, a copy of the bank statement for the account from which you will send funds and to which your funds will be returned, and a recent proof of address.

You opened an account for a foundation which necessarily requires more information, such as establishing the identities of all of the trustees.

Our objective is to both meet our anti-money laundering obligations, which keeps BullionVault and all its users safe, as well as protect accounts from fraud. We apologise if the process felt burdensome.

We can't of course control precious metals prices nor your account's performance, but we would suggest that a long-term view is useful before anyone starts buying precious metals.

If you have any questions about using your account, our friendly and knowledgeable customer services team stand ready to assist.

Kind regards,

The BullionVault Team

I use Bullion Vault as my online gold reserve

I have used Bullion Vault for a few years now, to purchase gold as an investment and it’s just so easy to buy and sell. The fees are quite minimal and the process is as simple as a couple of clicks on your phone or PC.
It’s a very secure system connected to your own bank account, so far i’m very happy with the way it’s working for me.

Great app

Great app, but it would be great if there was a chat for ratios like gold/silver and to all metals that are listed on the platform. Please consider this

Horrible experience

Horrible experience. It allows me to deposit money, buy and sell. But when it comes to withdraw money, it makes as hard as it can be in order to hinder the process. I have uploaded documents hundred times to validate the account. Never worked! For each uploading it gives 5 working days to validate then still asking for more documents. And no one answers chat live, neither the emails!

Dear chenar ahmad,

You provided us with a bank statement for an account different than the one you deposited from several times. We contacted you on a number of occasions to explain what we needed.

Account validation is important because it both helps protect your account from fraud and helps us meet our anti-money laundering obligations. Tens of thousands of our users have successfully completed it without problem. Once we received the correct bank statement we validated your account within a few hours.

If you have any questions about using your account, our friendly and knowledgeable customer service team stand by ready to assist.

Kind regards,

The BullionVault Team
