Secure storage for your precious metals
Fully insured, custom-built vaulting in Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne — sales by GBA, vaulting and insurance by Gold Bullion Australia Treasury Reserve.
Storage and insurance fees are calculated as a percentage of the value of bullion vaulted — Pool Allocated storage is free. Full fee table below.
Your metal, guarded and guaranteed
Gold Bullion Australia Treasury Reserve (GBATR) works in strategic alliance with GBA: we facilitate your purchases and sales, while GBATR handles all vaulting, insurance and the secure transfer of metal between facilities.
Everything held is guaranteed fully insured for the replacement value of your stored bullion, and Metal Account Statements keep you across your asset valuation, transactions and account details. Selling is just as simple — agree a buy-back price over the phone and funds are transferred directly to your account — or take possession, with barred bullion collected or shipped for a fee.

Four ways to store with GBA
From free pool storage to individually serialised bars under your own account name — every option is held in the custom-built vault and fully insured for replacement value.
Pool Allocated storage
The flexible, cost-effective way to buy, store and trade. Your metal is held in bulk, fully backed by GBA and insured at no cost to you — trade close to spot, sell back any time, or convert to physical bars for a barring fee.
Allocated storage
Specific denominations purchased from GBA — stamped with weight, mintmark and purity — vaulted alongside other clients’ bars of the same size. Collect or ship any time and receive a bar of identical weight, purity and value.
Serial-numbered bar storage
Individually serialised, certified bars stored and tracked under your specific account name. Each bar carries a unique stamped number — ideal for audit purposes, including SMSFs. Request vaulting at purchase.
Private storage
Metals purchased elsewhere, vaulted and insured by GBATR. Your bullion is photographed, registered, weighed and sealed in a tamper-proof box, with a reference number issued for each box.

Vaulting questions, answered
How do I know my precious metals are safe?
Bullion stored with Gold Bullion Australia is covered by insurance for its full replacement value. The custom-built vault and our showroom facility are highly secure, and regular audits are conducted at the facility to confirm compliance, accuracy and transparency.
What’s the difference between Allocated and serial-numbered storage?
Allocated bars carry weight, mintmark and purity stamps and are vaulted with other clients’ bars of the same size — when you collect, you receive a bar of identical weight, purity and value. Serial-numbered bars are individually stamped and stored under your specific account name, making them ideal for audit purposes such as SMSFs.
Can I store metal I bought somewhere else?
Yes — that’s our Private Storage service. Your bullion is photographed, registered, weighed and sealed in a tamper-proof box, insured by GBATR, with a reference number issued for each box.
How are storage fees calculated?
As a percentage of the total value of your vaulted bullion: gold and platinum from 0.65% and silver from 1.25% for Allocated storage, 0.85% and 1.50% for serial-numbered and private storage — while Pool Allocated storage is free. Fees are invoiced at the end of each quarter, based on the spot price on the quarter’s last day.
Do you guarantee the purity of the metals you sell?
Yes — and we’ve never had a product returned. Our products are made with the highest precision, to the highest standard, and we sell only investment-grade bullion.
Can I see the current value of what’s in the vault?
Yes — you can receive a Metal Account Statement on request, covering your current valuation, transaction history and account details. Just contact the team by phone or email.
