BULLION STORAGE
We Truly Secure Your Wealth
Gold and silver are scarce physical assets that appreciate over time and when stored as insured private property in a safe jurisdiction, is a systemic wealth insurance that is independent of the financial system.
Being both a defensive safe haven and an inflation hedge, gold and silver perform particularly well during stagflations when economic recessions and high inflation make most other investments unattractive.
We offer three storage options:
S.T.A.R.
Grams
S.T.A.R. Grams represent fractional ownership of fully allocated and insured investment-grade bullion stored in our TSH vault in Singapore.
- Buy and sell as little as 0.01 gram (0.0032 troy oz) for gold, 10 silver grams (0.321507 troy oz) for silver
- Fixed margins - Buy at 2% above spot for gold, 5% for silver, and sell at spot
- Low percentage storage fee - 0.35% p.a (gold) and 0.7% p.a (silver).
- Real-time transparency
- Redeemable into bullion bars or coins
S.T.A.R.
Parcels
S.T.A.R. Parcels represent direct ownership of specific and fully insured investment-grade bullion bars and coins stored in our TSH vault in Singapore.
- Buy and sell specific parcels
- Low margins (vary by product)
- Low fixed storage fees
- Parcel Ownership List transparency – See quarterly audits
- Collateralization options via Secured P2P Loans
Safe Deposit Boxes
(TSH)
You can store your bullion or any other valuables by leasing a safe deposit box from our subsidiary The Safe House SG (TSH), located in our purpose-built 180,000 sqft The Reserve vaulting facility in Singapore.
- 15.6 kg and 202 kg capacity safe deposit boxes
- Heavy-duty seals guarantee box integrity

- Client data is kept offline to ensure privacy
Transfer Your Existing Bullion to Us
S.T.A.R. Grams Swaps
If you own sizable amounts of physical gold and silver in a commercial vault in Europe, North America or Australia, it might be possible for us to swap your vaulted bullion for Singapore S.T.A.R. Grams.
Such swaps involve procuring new gold and silver in Singapore and will incur a swapping fee according to the amount and weight of the bars/coins.
Contact us at [email protected] for details.
S.T.A.R. Parcels Transfer-In
You can transfer your gold, silver, platinum or palladium bars or coins to us by physically delivering your bullion to us in Singapore or we can arrange for a secured shipping solution. See here for terms and conditions.
The bullion will be transparently tested upon arrival and accepted as S.T.A.R. parcels. The bullion can then be easily sold or used to obtain Secured P2P loans.
Safe Deposit Boxes
The Safe House can provision a safe deposit box via a one-time remote deposit. Such a service would include full liability protection of the stored bullion and we would send a deposit receipt, CCTV deposit recording and box keys by mail to your address. See here for more details.
Once sealed, a box cannot be opened without the presence of the client or authorized representative to witness the seal cutting.
Why Store With Us?
-
Ownership eliminates counterparty risk
We merely act as agents to store, insure, and provide liquidity for the client’s property which is never held on our balance sheet. Since clients are physical property owners, not creditors, clients cannot be defaulted upon, nor can client assets be encumbered by us. [More about ownership]

Insurance eliminates physical loss risk
Stored bullion is insured by our comprehensive liability protection that covers loss from third party thefts, inside jobs, and even mysterious disappearance, the later usually not being offered in the industry. [More on insurance and security]

Genuinity guarantee
Our non-destructive testing, performed by our onsite testing labs, ensures that all bullion stored under S.T.A.R. are of the metal purity specified. Should a stored parcel be of subpar quality, we will replace the metal at our expense. [More about testing]
