Two pillars. One discipline.
Every Aurelian client receives a private vault account and a logistics dossier. Together they form a complete record, from the moment a bar enters our custody to the moment it reaches your hand.
01 — Custody
Private Gold Vault
A segregated, fully allocated vault account. Each bar is registered to your name with serial, weight, refinery, and assay on permanent record.
Each consignment moves through four verified stages. Nothing is left to assumption. Every step is timestamped, signed off, and made visible to the account holder.
Step 01
Onboarding
A private account is opened by an Aurelian officer. Holdings, custody rate, and starting balance are registered to your name.
Step 02
Custody
Bars are stored in a segregated vault. Monthly statements record storage charges and any changes to the holding.
Step 03
Despatch
On withdrawal, a shipment dossier is opened. Origin, destination, and dates are sealed before despatch.
Step 04
Delivery
The consignment progresses along its route in real time, until handover is acknowledged at the destination.
