The Enhancement of Personal Freedom

It is about increasing your personal freedom – and being able to sleep well at night knowing that your investment and savings portfolio is secure from the risks of the global banking system, inflation and geopolitical turbulence.

This is what Bar9 stands for.

Our Mission
When you deposit money into a regular bank, it is no longer your legal property but becomes the bank’s property, with only a promise to pay you back when you want it. They pay you interest for this privilege. The reason is that the banks can take your money and speculate with it to earn more. Doing this works most of the time until it doesn’t. When another global financial crisis breaks out, banks will once again go bankrupt. The savers at those banks will carry high risks.
At Bar9, savers buy physical allocated gold and silver that is secured in their name as their legal property. Bar9 cannot speculate with it and if anything happens to the Bar9 GmbH, liquidators can’t touch the client’s assets. Traditionally it was only the wealthy that could afford to use private top-tier vaulting facilities to secure their wealth. Bar9 enables anyone around the world to save in fully allocated and insured gold and silver bullion that is outside of the banking system, bringing peace of mind to you and your loved ones.
