Security and Transparency
The 3 Bar9 Guarantees
For Bar9 to usher in a new era of saving in hard assets instead of fiat money we must start with radical transparency and utilise the best in hard asset security standards. Below we outline the three guarantees we offer our clients.
Bar9 clients benefit from the pioneering work Vaultoro group has done on transparency protocols in the blockchain space as well as the strong partnerships we have solidified with the largest companies in the precious metals industry.
Guarantee No. 1

As a customer of Bar9 GmbH you can be sure that you will always trade only precious metals of the worldwide highest quality level “good delivery”. This means that Bar9 only trades bars from manufacturers that are LBMA-certified (e.g. Argor, Valcambi, Perth Mint and others) – the decisive factor for the highest possible quality.
Furthermore, the entire precious metal stock is fully insured. Among its partners, Bar9 relies exclusively on renowned companies with an excellent history:

Your gold is not “fixed”: With Bar9 you can sell fractions of gold. So, for example, if you need € 224.54 to pay a car payment, you can sell gold worth exactly € 224.54 and have it transferred to your bank account. Save in real assets, but still be able to draw on these real values whenever you want!
In addition, Bar9 offers you the possibility to have your gold sent to your home address. Larger quantities of gold can also be collected directly from the Bar9 warehouse in Switzerland.
