Anyone who invests their wealth in precious metals such as gold and silver wants to ensure that their assets are stored securely after purchase. Keeping them in a home safe is often not sufficiently secure. Bank safe-deposit boxes also offer only limited protection, as the bank ultimately retains control over access. In certain situations, this may mean that access to the safe-deposit box could be restricted.

1) Individual Storage

CelticGold offers individual storage of purchased products in your own name, fully segregated from any other inventory. This means that your precious metals are stored separately in the vault.

A secure and modern solution for storing precious metals is custody in the high-security vaults of our professional storage partners. There, your holdings are safeguarded under your name and kept separate from all other inventories. Through your “Mein Tresor” customer account, you can access and view your stored precious metals at any time.

2) The CelticGold Precious Metals Account

For investors who wish to buy and hold physical gold but prefer to be part of an insolvency-protected pooled storage, the Precious Metals Account provides the ideal solution.

As with individual storage, there are no minimum holding periods or minimum fees, and storage fees are completely eliminated.

You can purchase physical gold directly at the exchange-traded gold price — without any premium.

Individual storage means that your precious metals are stored in your name.

Segregated storage means that your precious metals are kept completely separate from any other inventory. The gold and silver products held in storage are not recorded as part of the business inventory or balance sheets, neither of CelticGold nor of our vaulting partners.

Your precious metals are stored in sealed containers, known as Seal Bags.

The seal bag is a high durable plastic bag with a unique number. My Vault tracks the inventory of your sealbags. 

In My Vault you will also see a photo of for each of your stored seal bags.

Location: Prosegur, Frankfurt, Germany: 0.84% per year including 19% VAT.
High net worth individuals and institutional investors fees start from 0.3% per annum plus VAT.

Location: Tallinn, Estonia: CelticGold does not offer permanent storage in Estonia. All orders qualify for 3 Months free storage and will be charged an annual fee of 2% including 20% VAT. We highly recommend to empty stored products every three months or move them continously to Prosegur for long-term storage. 

With small storage accounts, please transfer 60 Euros with your first storage invoice, we will deduct all future storage invoice from the credit. Should you sell or pick up all stored sealbags we will refund the remaining credit. 

The goods in storage are invoiced after the free period, starting at the end of the following quarter. Should you pick up or instruct shipment of all goods held in storage then a storage invoice will be raised at the time you clear your inventory.

The storage fee will be calculated on the current replacement value, not the metal value. The replacement values get updated every year according to the average premium for gold and silver. You can see both values in each seal bag in my Vault. 

“My Vault” displays all Seal Bags stored in the vault, including the current value of each Seal Bag, and allows you to request shipments from your vault storage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

In addition, all activities related to each Seal Bag and its contents are recorded in the activity log (chronicle). Vault shipments and vault storage invoices are available in separate menu sections and listed chronologically.

The Precious Metals Account is also integrated into “Mein Tresor”. In the dashboard, all holdings are aggregated and displayed as a combined total value.

The value of all stored sealbags in My Vault are updated every day at 12.00PM.

Yes, you can. Please arrange the pick up b

Yes, each pick up will be charged with 10 Euros.

There are three different aspects of security we would like to explain:

1) Digital Security & Encryption

CelticGold operates the website on military encryption standard and the webservers undergo a daily external security scan by McAfee to make sure there is no malicious or phishing software on our servers. You will see this McAfee trust logo in the top middle of every page.

2) Multi-Level Authentication

Attached to each storage order we will send you a document with additional needed data that we ask you to return to us via regular mail when you store for the first time. This additional multi-level authentication will be checked before any storage shipment and/or payment from a sale back to us will be executed.

This additional data will not be shared with anyone outside of CelticGold and held in security. 

3) Insured Secure Vaults

The vaults are secured by leading global secure partners: G4S and Prosegur. Only ultra-high security vault locations were chosen within the EU as we believe it may become very vital to be able to travel there within a short period of time.

Each vault is located no longer than 20 minutes from an international Airport where it is easy to fly in and out from.

Should you clear your entire inventory within a quarter then we will send you a storage invoice dated with the day you instructed the shipment or collected.

It is important to pay the shipping/pick up costs and the storage invoice immediately so the goods can be released. As always we accept PayPal and Bank Transfer for all payments.

The sealbag history is a log of all activities regarding the content of the sealbag. You find the history from each sealbag in the My Vault seal bag view.

In addition we will also send you the history after each quarter with the storage invoice.

Yes, you can. Please keep in mind that you need to pay the shipping from Estonia to Prosegur in Germany. If you wish to move your goods from Estonia to Germany then simply click „Storage move to Prosegur“ in the Storage Shipment Checkout.

All else will be taken care of and your seal bag number and history will display updated when the move is completed. (Allow 5 working days for the insured UPS shipment.)

You pay the costs for handling, packing, shipping and insurance. CelticGold does not make an extra or hidden profit. The shipping prices for gold orders are lower as insurance is part of the product margin.

If someone decides to ship later we charge the full costs that need to be paid but in return offer 3 months free storage. So we cross finance the free storage (because we pay it to the vault operator) with our product margin instead of insurance.

CelticGold does not an extra or hidden profit on shipping. Our model and process is designed to offer customers the highest level of service and convenience at the lowest cost.

Yes. Metals stored in secure vault storage can be delivered to your address upon request. Shipping and insurance costs may apply depending on the destination.
