Clients can request a physical withdrawal of registered precious metals through their Holding, either by collecting metal at the vault, or by taking delivery of the metal (typically limited to 100g gold bars, 1kg gold and silver bars, or gold, platinum, and palladium Good Delivery Bars).
To request a physical withdrawal please contact your dedicated Relationship Manager through the Holding messaging system.
Please note: there are insurance and logistical restrictions to which regions, locations, and types of bars that can be delivered - your Relationship Manager can walk you through any that might impact your request.
