If you have any problems please contact BullionVault via email using our contact link at the bottom right of the BullionVault screens.

The procedure to open an account

Step 1.

Go to the main home screen at www.bullionvault.com

Step 2.

Click on the OPEN ACCOUNT button (top of your screen, in the middle). You will then see:

Step 3. Fill in the username field. This is 6 to 12 letters and numbers without spaces. It becomes your account number. You'll need to remember it to log into your account in future.
Step 4. Fill in the email field. We will use this to send you important communications like your statements (monthly) and your dealing advices (whenever you deal). If you use many email addresses please enter here one which you treat seriously. It diminishes your safety if we cannot tell you at a trusted and used mailbox when there are things happening on your account.
Step 5. Fill in and confirm your password. This is case sensitive. You'll need to remember it to log into your account in future.
Step 6. If BullionVault is running a promotional offer, your account may be created with a small bullion and cash balance already present. Read about our promotions here.
Step 7. Set the checkbox. You must confirm you have read, understood and agreed the Terms and Conditions. Press the SUBMIT key.
