Discuss platinum custodyWhat We Do
Custody built for the way wealth is actually held
From a single certified bar to institutional-scale reserves, every asset entrusted to ABD moves through the same disciplined chain of custody — authenticated, insured under the applicable terms, and independently reconciled.
Secure Storage
Allocated, segregated vault space across high-security facilities, built to withstand physical and environmental threat.
Authentication
Independent assay and verification of purity, weight and origin, performed before any asset enters the vault.
Insured Custody
Full replacement-value coverage underwritten by leading insurers, held independently of ABD's own balance sheet.
Ownership Transfer
Title and ownership changes recorded and settled within the vault — metal never needs to physically move.
Secure Logistics
Armoured, tracked transport between vaults, refineries and clients, coordinated by vetted carrier partners.
Storage Certification
Digitally verifiable certificates of custody, issued per holding with clear records for every stored asset.
