Perth Mint Depository Distributor Online
ASI and The Perth Mint have partnered to bring you the world’s most cost-effective and flexible way to buy, sell, store, and deliver gold, silver, and platinum online under an explicit government guarantee.
Built With You in Mind
Financial experts all over the world suggest allocating a percentage of your portfolio to precious metals (like gold) regardless of your goals.
All the metals purchased through the Perth Mint Depository Distributor Online (PMDDO) are Perth Mint-issued bullion from the Mint’s working inventory, and investors even have the option to store their metals for free* in one of the world’s most secure storage facilities. Because PMDDO is entirely online, investors can manage their precious metals from any location, at any time of day.
Compare Current Premiums
The Perth Mint's program is the best kept secret in the precious metals industry. When you compare current premiums for physical precious metals, you’ll understand why…
Buy/Sell fees are based on the dollar amount held in storage. They start at just 1%, and go as low as 0.20%!
Plus, storage on unallocated, gold, silver, and platinum is FREE.
With the online depository platform, your investments are 100% backed by physical metal, providing complete security and peace of mind without the need to take physical delivery. This unique precious metal storage solution has maintained consistently unbeatable premiums for decades and is the only program of its kind with a unique government-guarantee.
How Does It Work?
By allowing free storage on unallocated gold, silver, and platinum, The Perth Mint basically gives up the industry standard one-half percent storage fee, so as long as the client is willing to be flexible in terms of what form their unique ounces of precious metals are in from day to day, the client receives free storage and insurance, and The Perth Mint saves money over the model most mints use to do business.
The Perth Mint Depository safeguards more than AUD $6 billion worth of precious metal for clients, ranging from individual investors through to sovereign wealth funds around the world.
Enjoy Peace of Mind
The Perth Mint Depository Distributor Online sets itself apart with the unique benefits of this program.
-
Convenience
Manage your account on your own time, see live pricing, and buy and sell precious metals at any time of day. Because your account is entirely online, you are able to see the value of your holdings in real-time—which means you don't have to manually calculate their value on your own.
-
Liquidity
The Perth Mint also offers the option to take physical delivery of your precious metals upon request. When you are ready to liquidate your metals, you'll receive your funds at an expedited rate. The Perth Mint can even process some withdrawals on the same day. ASI also makes it possible to buy and sell precious metals in any currency through PMDDO—so no matter where you live, it’s possible to easily manage your portfolio.

Security
For over 120 years, The Perth Mint has earned its reputation as one of the most trusted precious metals facilities in the world. The Perth Mint currently stores more than AUD 6 billion in its state-of-the-art vaults and is backed by an explicit government guarantee outlined by the Gold Corporation Act 1987. When you open a PMDDO account, your holdings are secured online by 128 SSL encryption and are 100% backed with comprehensively insured physical precious metals.
All of the vaults at The Perth Mint are Category 11 vaults that meet AUS/NZ Standards 3809 and vault specifications outlined by their underwriters. In addition to these security precautions, The Perth Mint is monitored 24/7 by video recordings that are retained and controlled electronically from a Class 1 Security Control Room.

Low Minimums
PMDDO is an online platform that allows all investors—big or small—to trade precious metals at some of the lowest prices in the industry. All that’s required to open an account is a $50 transaction minimum, and premiums start as low as 0.20%. You can also start a gold and silver savings account for as low as $50 per month.
-
Free Storage
PMDDO allows you to store your precious metals holdings in three different ways: (1) allocated gold and silver, (2) pool allocated silver, and (3) unallocated gold, silver, and platinum.
Unallocated storage refers to gold, silver, and platinum held on an unsegmented (unsegregated) basis. These metals are owned by the client, but part of a pool of working metals stored at the Mint. This is the most popular option, as clients do not have to pay any fabrication or storage fees.
You’re free to convert from unallocated and pool allocated metal to allocated metal whenever you choose. -
Online Savings Plan
An online savings plan with PMDDO allows you to purchase gold and silver for as little as $50 per month—in very much the same way as a savings account. The online savings plan makes it possible to steadily build your holdings each month for just 50% of the applicable transaction fee (which is based on the size of your trade).
Set the amount you wish to save each month, and your fees will be automatically withdrawn from your account. If you allocated $1,000 to your savings account each month, for example, the normal 1% transaction fee would be reduced to just 0.5%—so all you would owe is $5 per month!
