Digital Gold & Digital Silver - Allocated Accounts

At Chards we offer investors an alternative way to invest in gold or silver, with our new digital gold and digital silver accounts. Offered as a pre-payment metal account option; we do not consider this a substitute for physical precious metal ownership.

Our savings account is for short term use and all metal is held on an unallocated basis whereas our digital storage accounts are more suited where customers want their balances backed by physical bullion. We actively encourage the use of these accounts to pre-fund physical purchases by adding the buy premium back into your balance at the point of checkout.

Pre-payment accounts are commonly used to navigate situations where banks restrict transfers to £10,000 per day, allowing customers to load up metal in multiple transactions reaching the full balance over a few days or weeks.

Allocated Digital Accounts have storage fees as your allocated bullion is stored in our vaults. The storage fees cover transport, vaulting and insurance and you can follow this link to our vaulted storage fees.

Vaulted Storage

We offer storage services in the United Kingdom and overseas that are low cost and fully insured. This service offers customers an allocated and segregated metal account with discrete, allocated coins and bars.

Customers can choose our dedicated world class storage facilities right here in Blackpool or store bullion overseas in bonded warehouses. For added peace of mind, customer stock held at our storage facilities has been independently checked by Azets.
