With Bitpanda Metals we take care of all the security. All the precious metals you buy on Bitpanda are stored in Switzerland, in a secure vault where it’s 100% insured. This is the perfect convenience solution as you don’t have to go to a gold trader to buy physical gold or silver. Storing precious metals at home can be a security risk. You need a special and usually expensive safe in order to get it covered by insurance, which again usually costs money. Alternatively, you can store it in a deposit box at a bank, which means that you have to go there in person and you also have to pay comparably high fees for storing it there.
