An Allocated Metal Account involves the secure storage of specific numbered gold, silver, platinum, palladium or rhodium bars or coins, segregated within our vaults at ‘Le Freeport’ of Singapore and held as the property of and in the name of the account holder. Allocated account customers receive quarterly statements and vault storage invoices. Customer holdings are wholly segregated.
Once the customer has made their order, the metals will be delivered into Le Freeport and we will forward on a "Delivered Inventory-In Report - Customer Copy" which comes directly from our vaulting provider themselves.
Effectively this means our storage clients are 'not' exposed to any credit or insolvency risks arising from the financial or monetary system. In fact they are not exposed even from the bankruptcy of our own company as customer holdings are segregated in their own family name.
Allocated bars may be withdrawn from storage for collection at Freeport storage facility subject to 48 hours prior notice.
Opening an allocated account is subject to the satisfactory completion of the necessary due diligence. To satisfy these requirements, we need to have evidence of identity in the form of a scanned copy of your passport, driving licence or birth certificate, (or sight of the originals at our office). We also require two items as proof of address such as a recent bank statement, stockbroker or credit card statements, utility bills or IRAS statement or property Tax bill’s.
Allocated metal is fully covered by our insurance policy held with our vault operator. Charges accrue daily (based on the value of the metal using the last available fixing price each day) and are charged quarterly in arrears.

High Security Storage
Customers segregated allocations are stored individually in sealed containers within our vault, employing the very latest high security monitoring systems including vibration-detection technology, vaults barricaded by seven-tonne doors, full body scanners, remote vault access controls, triple power redundancies, and 24/7 armed guards.
Fully Insured
We carry extensive 'Goods in Trust' insurance; in addition and because of our company account arrangements we also hold insurance cover held by the vaulting provider as the operators of their vault itself.

Fast and efficient dispatch service if required

Whether a customer is bringing metals with him/her or using a freight forwarder, the goods are coming into Singapore from another country so an import permit is required. Our vault provider needs to prepare an import permit, they require the packing list and the commercial invoice - with the brand name, quantity, value. The charges for an import permit is US$ 80 (as of 1st January 2024).
We would require a copy of your passport to submit to Le Freeport authority for security clearance (at least 24hr ahead of the visit or delivery of goods). Our vault provider at Le Freeport can accept the goods provided all the paper work are in place - i.e. you have a pre-existing account with us at IPM Group, you have a permit for the goods brought in.
