Frequently asked questions
Read the most frequently asked questions from savers and investors on GOLD AVENUE and on how to buy gold, silver, and precious metals.
How is my silver stored with GOLD AVENUE?
All the products you purchase are 100% yours and are physically stored in our vaults in Switzerland, outside the banking system.
A certificate of ownership listing all the products you store with us can be downloaded at any time from your online personal account.
How do VAT-FREE products work?
VAT-FREE products are kept in a secure Swiss freeport where the 8.1% Swiss VAT does not apply. To remain VAT-FREE these products are for storage only and are therefore unavailable for delivery. However, just like our other products, you can sell them back to us instantly, 24/7, and with 0% commission.
Do I have to pay for storing my VAT-FREE silver products?
If you store below CHF100,000 in precious metals value with us, the first 3 months of storage are free. After that, your storage remains entirely free if you store less than CHF10,000 in precious metal value. If you store between CHF10,000 and CHF100,000 in precious metals value, you will simply pay CHF8/month for storage. If you would like to store above CHF100,000 in precious metals value, you will pay 0.5%/year based on the value of your stored precious metals. Finally, storage insurance is included for everyone, at no extra cost, to cover your stored precious metals against theft, damage, and loss, at all times.
