GFI Safe - Deposit solution
GFI Safe is the new service offered by Gold and Forex International to meet the growing demand of its customers to be able to buy/sell physical gold without moving and to have an ultra-secure storage solution outside the banking sector. This service is open to anyone, whether or not they are already GFI customer, as long as proof of purchase or proof of ownership of the gold can be provided.
Store your gold in an ultra-secure solution outside the banking system with a professional specialist in the storage and handling of precious metals.
Your gold is stored in a secure vault, the key to which is held by a renowned independent service provider (Brinks). The solution chosen ensures that all deposits are insured at their market value and avoids the risks of loss, theft, burglary or damage.
In the event of an accident or the death of the owner of the precious metals, GFI will be contacted by the family members and/or the notary. The stored goods always remain your property or the property of your heirs and will therefore never be lost.
Buy and sell physical gold from home
When you buy, you have the option of placing your gold directly into storage. When selling, we move your physical gold deposit and credit your bank account the same day. All these operations are carried out without you having to go anywhere.
In order to adapt to the new constraints imposed by the COVID-19 health crisis, the confinement and the difficulty of moving, we offer our clients the possibility of buying and selling their gold with great flexibility.
Manage and track your deposit via our platform
Thanks to our platform, you have access to the situation of your physical deposit in real time and can consult the history (purchases/sales), place a purchase or sale order.
Stock audited by an independent expert
The gold in the vault is periodically checked and certified by a sworn auditor.
Certificate of deposit of your physical gold
A certificate of ownership is issued to you to confirm the possession of your gold.
View your physical gold by appointment
By appointment, you can view your physical gold and/or take possession of it. Your deposit is available within 5 working days.
Competitive rates
In addition to an attractive base rate, we apply degressive rates depending on the value of the gold stored.
The rates offered are those applied to private individuals. There is a specific price list for professionals and institutions. Please consult us for any requests.

How do you deposit your precious metals?

When purchasing online or over the phone with a GFI trader (02/513.92.40) or directly at the counter, you can decide to leave your purchase in your deposit folder. Once payment has been received, your purchase will be automatically transferred to the secure safe and can be viewed from your client area on www.goldforex.be.
If you wish to deposit gold that you already own and purchased from GFI, we invite you to deliver it to us. It will then be added to your deposit without any handling fees.
- From a purchase not made at GFI
If the gold you wish to deposit was not purchased from GFI, you will need to provide proof of the origin of the gold.
