About Us


New Zealand Bullion Depository was created as we felt there was a large gap in the precious metal storage industry, being the ability to secure large values effectively and safely while providing exemplary service. New Zealand Bullion Depository LP was created with the goal to provide the safest, private, secure precious metals storage service in the world.

Our purpose built vault combines the best in state of the art electronic security, combined with the best in physical security. Utilizing military technology, state of the art electronic monitoring and cutting edge material we have a vault rating that provides us full insurance cover for all deposits through Lloyds of London.

In addition to physical security, your privacy and confidentially are of paramount importance to us. Your contract is only with us (no third parties). As New Zealand Bullion depository is incorporated in New Zealand it is operated under New Zealand Law and New Zealand Jurisdiction only.

We are not a bank, and as such, storing metal with New Zealand Bullion Depository allows you to be outside of the banking system, so for your peace of mind our internal due diligence processes are regularly audited and updated to ensure we protect and maintain your confidentiality and that we exceed any legal requirements.

We recognise that these measures are meaningless without trusted people behind them. Our people have been involved with investing and working in the bullion industry since the 1970’s and have a combined experience in Bullion, Banking, Finance, Accounting and Governance of over 100 years.
