It is stored by Via Mat in a professionally recognised bullion storage facility in Switzerland, the UK or the USA.
Users are able to buy and sell directly with other BullionVault users, via BullionVault's order board. The gold does not move. Only the ownership changes.
Anyone can participate. Private individuals can use the service to buy, own, store, and later sell, professional grade bullion – all at compelling prices usually available only in the professional bullion markets.
