BullionVault Products
With there being no differentiation between retail customers and affiliates, strictly speaking BullionVault has no retailable products or services.
BullionVault run a “live order board” service, which permits affiliates across the world to directly trade gold, silver and platinum with each other.
On the order board you can deal direct with other customers, cutting out the middleman.
You can buy their bullion when they want to sell, or sell to them when they want to buy.
You choose your own price and compete in the market to find a buyer or seller who will accept that price.
It’s like a stock exchange, but for pre-vaulted investment gold, silver and platinum, not for shares.
Standard fees provided on the BullionVault website include
a “dealing commission” of between 0.05% and 0.5% each time you buy or sell through the order board
storage and insurance charges of 0.12% per year for gold and 0.48% per year for silver and platinum (billed monthly)
fund wire fees of around $30 on average (UK withdrawals free)
BullionVault also charge fees for withdrawing or moving stored metals obtained through the live order board.
