Silver Bullion is a unique and compelling choice for people looking for bullion storage. It is, in my opinion, the safest, most transparent, and most ethical bullion storage choice today. The reasons are several, but start with the people who own and operate SB. Gregor, Vergel and the rest of the staff are personable, accessible, and eager to assist you, which is very important when deciding to trust a company to hold large amounts of bullion for you long term.

I can't say enough about the fabulous and responsive customer service. It's often very easy to set up accounts, but responsiveness after the fact can be lacking. Not so with SB. Have a question? E-mail Vergel and he responds in a timely manner. Or pick up the phone and call - either way your matter will be handled quickly. Setting up an account is fast and simple, with a minimum of forms (all online), and the ability to securely upload required documents is a huge time saver.

Best of all, Gregor has come up with several unique elements not found in other bullion storage companies. DUX testing all (transferred in) bullion in storage to assure its authenticity means you don't have to take anyone's word that it is not counterfeit, and combined with sealed, numbered parcels for which you are provided pictures gives you absolute confidence that your bullion is the real deal and has been allocated to you alone.  Next, he allows you to prepay storage in advance - years in advance if you desire - at a fixed rate per ounce. To me that's huge, since it allows me to determine in advance what I will pay for storage and know that the rate will not increase as the price of metals increases. Plus, he has worked hard to isolate SB from U.S. exposure, and there is an account option you can choose that instructs SB not to comply with repatriation orders, should your government happen to issue such an order in the future. That's a very important protection, given that one of the reasons most people hold precious metals offshore is to protect their wealth from greedy governments.

Given all of the above, plus the location in Singapore, arguably the best precious metals storage location in the world today, I think you cannot make a better choice than Silver Bullion. Friendly, honest, responsive people; the most comprehensive bullion testing procedure in the business; totally transparent allocated storage; and unique tools to add another level of safety entirely. It's a great operation.
