What is Vaulting?

Did you know that traditional banks only maintain 2% to 4% of their reserves as cash?


Alpine Gold vaulted accounts are 100% backed with physical gold and silver. We offer members an option to lease their precious metal holdings to eliminate vaulting fees and earn lease payments to enhance their wealth growth. If a member chooses to enter into a lease contract, their Gold or Silver will not be in the vault but is automatically returned at the end of the lease term.
