A safe custody service holds your specific, identified bars or coins in a segregated vault on your behalf. Unlike a pooled or unallocated account, you retain outright ownership of the exact pieces deposited, and they are not commingled with other clients' holdings or used as collateral by the operator. This differs from a bank safety deposit box in that specialist vaults typically offer higher security ratings, 24/7 monitoring, and insurance cover for the contents within the facility.
