Security considerations regarding GoldBroker

According to the company, various security measures are implemented:

Investors acquire outright ownership of the gold and silver, which they purchase. Investors receive storage certificates or ownership titles in their names.

A warehouse receipt is provided for each bullion bar. Those receipts show the serial numbers of the bars. Clients receive also certificates of authenticity for their gold bars.

GoldBroker works with the security company Malca Amit. According to GoldBroker.com, Malca Amit accepts responsibility for the professional custodianship of the physical bullion bars described in its bar lists.

The precious metals stocks are insured.

GoldBroker does not provide independent audits of gold holdings by external auditors. Neither does GoldBroker publish the total precious metals holdings or bar lists from its storage partner Rhenus Logistics.

For security reasons, GoldBroker only allows the transfer of money to the bank account that an investor used to open with Goldbroker.com.
