New Zealand Vault can facilitate a buy back with our bullion wholesaler if the bullion was purchased
from us and has remained in a safety deposit box or in our bullion depository. If the bullion was not purchased
through New Zealand Vault or it has been withdrawn from our secure vaults then we cannot guarantee the chain of integrity
for the bullion. In this instance it will need to be sent back to our wholesaler in the USA for assaying purposes
before a buy back can be confirmed. This process can take up to 2 weeks.
Storing Bullion purchased through New Zealand Vault
Not only can you purchase bullion through New Zealand Vault, but you can also store with us in
either our safety deposit box vaults or our bullion depository. For more information on these services please visit
www.nzvault.com and click on ‘storage options’ from the main menu.
New Zealand Vault has been providing New Zealander's peace of mind since 1931. When the trading banks decided to exit the safety
deposit market, after careful due diligence they each independently chose New Zealand Vault to take over their safety deposit services.
Our Wellington vaults, where offshore bullion will be held have been built to the highest standards (Treasury Grade), and
fitted with the most sophisticated multi-level electronic protection available. Our vaults are monitored 24/7 to provide you complete peace of mind.
New Zealand Vault has partnered with international accountancy firm Grant Thornton, based in New Zealand, to act on behalf of the
client by: checking that the bullion received matches what the client ordered; together with the New Zealand Vault custodian they
will deposit that bullion into the clients’ safety deposit box or within a safe; holding the box key or safe code in their own
safety deposit box; and finally writing to the client to confirm that the bullion has been verified and placed into the clients
safety deposit box or into a safe within the bullion depository.
Each safety deposit box has a two key system; one held by New Zealand Vault and the other held by Grant Thornton. Both keys are
required in order to open the safety deposit box. New Zealand Vault cannot access the clients’ safety deposit box without the key
held by Grant Thornton and Grant Thornton cannot access it without the New Zealand Vault’s key.
The Bullion Depository works on a two code system; one held by New Zealand Vault and the other held by Grant Thornton. Both codes
are required in order to open the safe. New Zealand Vault will not access the clients’ bullion holding without the code held by
Grant Thornton and Grant Thornton cannot access it without the New Zealand Vault code.
Both New Zealand Vault and Grant Thornton will act only on customers written instructions.
If clients are ever in New Zealand they are most welcome to come to our Wellington vault and view their bullion. However,
because we will need to have the Grant Thornton representative also open the box or safe to remove the bullion, we ask that
we have 24 hours notice so that we can arrange for them to be there to meet you.
Yes you can. We can arrange for shipment of existing bullion to our facilities. As long as the bullion meets certain purity levels,
it will be exempt from customs duty. Please contact us for more information on the process.
