Trusted by thousands
Why Secure Storage Matters
The precious metals market offers three main storage options, but only one provides complete protection. Home storage leaves you vulnerable to theft and fire with limited insurance. Safety deposit boxes at your local bank restrict access during bank holidays and provide no coverage. Professional precious metals depositories deliver the security serious investors demand.
Fortress-Level Security
Traditional storage methods expose your investment to risk. Home safes? Insurance caps at $200-$1,000 regardless of value. Bank vaults? OWNx partners with specialized precious metals depositories with biometric controls, and 24/7 monitoring prevent theft and damage.
Fully Allocated Ownership
Generic storage pools your metals with others. Fully allocated storage means specific bars and coins are registered in your name. Collectors prefer fully allocated accounts because you own exact items not just a claim on inventory. Your fully allocated precious metals remain completely segregated, giving you clear ownership and protection even if the facility faces challenges.
Complete Protection
Safety deposit boxes offer no insurance. Home storage provides limited coverage. Professional storage includes comprehensive insurance against theft, fire, natural disasters, and all other potential damages. Your precious metals are fully insured at full market value through leading specialty insurers.

A Better Way to Protect Your Wealth
0.05% Monthly Fee
Transparent storage fees. Just 0.6% annually, far less than home insurance riders or safe deposit box costs combined with separate insurance.
World-Class Depositories
Your precious metals are stored in internationally recognized facilities in Texas and Delaware. These specialized vaults are built specifically for storing gold, silver, platinum, and palladium—not general banking. Precious metals depositories maintain security standards that prevent theft through multiple protection layers.
Advanced Security
Multi-layered systems including surveillance, motion detection, and alarmed compartments create fortress protection that home safes cannot replicate.
Fully Allocated Storage
Every ounce is registered in your name and stored in fully allocated accounts. Fully allocated storage means your specific metals are segregated from all other holdings. Collectors prefer this approach because fully allocated precious metals maintain clear ownership—you get back exactly what you deposited.
Complete Insurance Coverage
Your precious metals are fully insured through comprehensive policies from world-leading insurers. Coverage protects against theft, natural disasters, and all potential damages. Unlike safety deposit boxes with zero coverage, professional storage keeps your investment protected.
Easy Online Access
Buy, sell, or request delivery through our platform anytime. Manage your precious metals storage 24/7 via desktop or mobile app—no waiting for bank holidays or business hours.
Professional Handling
Staff use lint free cotton gloves when handling your bullion coins and bars. Collectors prefer this careful consideration to maintain grade and value. Climate-controlled environments protect against tarnish and degradation.
IRA-Approved Facilities
Our depositories meet all IRS requirements for precious metals IRA storage. Fully allocated, segregated accounts maintain your tax-advantaged status while keeping your gold and silver secure.
Flexible Physical Delivery
Take physical possession whenever you choose. Your metals, your timeline. Many collectors prefer professional storage until they’re ready to display or gift their precious metals.

FAQs
What is the safest way to store precious metals?
Professional non-bank depositories with allocated storage and comprehensive insurance provide the safest protection—like OWNx’s facilities in Delaware and Texas. These specialized vaults offer fortress-level security that home safes and bank boxes cannot match.
How much does precious metals storage cost?
OWNx charges 0.05% per month (0.6% annually) for standard accounts and 0.5% per year for IRAs, automatically deducted from your metals holdings. This is typically lower than home insurance riders or safe deposit boxes with separate insurance.
What's the difference between allocated and segregated storage?
Allocated storage means you own a specific quantity registered in your name stored with similar metals, while segregated storage keeps your exact items physically separated in individual containers. OWNx uses fully allocated storage where your metals are registered in your name and segregated from OWNx’s own assets.
Can I store gold in a bank safe deposit box?
Yes, but banks don’t insure contents, restrict access to business hours, and offer no specialized precious metals security. Professional depositories like OWNx provide better protection with full insurance, 24/7 online access, and lower total costs.
Do I need insurance for stored precious metals?
With OWNx storage, comprehensive insurance is included—all metals are fully insured against theft, damage, and natural disasters at full market value. Home storage requires expensive riders (typically $200-$1,000 standard coverage), and bank boxes have zero insurance.
What are IRS storage requirements for precious metals IRAs?
The IRS requires precious metals IRAs be stored in approved depositories (home storage is illegal and triggers taxes/penalties) with specific purity standards. OWNx’s Delaware and Texas facilities meet all IRS requirements with fully allocated storage at 0.5% annual fee.
How do I access my precious metals in storage?
OWNx provides 24/7 online dashboard access to buy, sell, or request delivery, with funds available in 1-2 business days when selling. You can take physical delivery anytime (minimum 20 oz silver or 1/2 oz gold) with fully insured shipping to your door
Is home storage or vault storage better for gold?
Vault storage is better for most investors—OWNx charges just $300/year for $50,000 in gold with full insurance versus $2,500-$5,500 first-year costs for home safes plus insurance riders. Professional storage also provides unlimited capacity, and IRA compliance that home storage cannot offer.
What security features should precious metals depositories have?
Essential features include Class III vaults, biometric access, comprehensive all-risk insurance, independent audits, and climate control. OWNx’s internationally recognized facilities in Delaware and Texas maintain all these standards with allocated storage where your metals remain your property.
Can I take physical delivery from precious metals storage?
Yes. OWNx allows physical delivery anytime with minimums of 20 oz silver or 1/2 oz gold, shipped fully insured and discreetly packaged. Choose from available coins and bars from recognized mints, though delivery fees apply for fabrication, shipping, and insurance.

OWNX customer support has always been responsive and helpful. I’ve had no doubt that my metals are secure. Recently, they facilitated the easy migration of my precious metals IRA account from one custodian to another.
This company and platform is the easiest to navigate through. When ever I had a issue with delivery the customer service was fantastic in finding the issue and replacing the item. I really like the auto buy feature and use it regularly. I have already told others of the company who have joined.
