Frequently Asked Questions about
Precious Metals Storage at Degussa

How are my assets secured?
The high-security facility used by Degussa for precious metals storage is protected against theft and destruction at a professional level.

In addition, your stored assets are fully insured against loss and damage at their full value.
Is precious metals storage covered by deposit protection? What happens if Degussa faces financial difficulties?
Your precious metals stored in the facility remain your personal property.

Unlike bank deposits, precious metals are tangible assets rather than claims, meaning there is no risk of default.

Therefore, no deposit protection is required. You can dispose of your stored assets at any time under your own rights.

Even in the event of insolvency, your stored assets could not be used to satisfy Degussa’s liabilities.
Can I also store valuables I already own?
Precious metals storage is only available for bars and coins intended for investment purposes that are traded at variable prices (so-called investment products).

Other valuables made of precious metals (medals, jewellery, watches, art or gift items) are not suitable for storage.

In addition to investment products purchased from us, you can also deposit existing bars and coins (so-called own holdings) into your storage account.

This is arranged via a Degussa branch, where each item is checked for authenticity, condition and value.
Why can’t I store my assets in pooled storage?
Only individual storage ensures that your items can always be clearly assigned to you as your sole property.

Pooled storage is only suitable for items of the same type and quality that can be mixed together.
