Custody in a fully regulated environment
Liechtenstein has committed itself again to a high standard of compliance with international and european requirements in the area of fighting money laundering and terrorist financing.
Due to the implementation of the 5th Money Laundering Directive (Directive (EU) 2018/843), the custody of precious metals in Liechtenstein is fully ruled by the Liechtenstein Law on Professional Due Diligence to Fight Money Laundering, Organized crime and Terrorist Financing (Art. 3 para. 1 let. V SPG). This means that all documents and information on the contracting party, the beneficial owners and the origin of funds must be documented - i.e. all information that a bank also requires from its clients.
This represents the key value, as your assets will remain "bankable" and can be freely transferred within the financial system at any time.
