As of October 1st 2023, we will be introducing vaulting fees to cover the costs of securely vaulting your gold bullion held in Brinks vaults in Australia. Since Rush launched we have absorbed the vaulting fees on your behalf. However, with increased growth in client gold volumes and costs it has now become necessary for us to pass this fee on to our clients. We will charge 0.6% annually to vault your gold bullion. This vaulting fee is very competitive in the market. The fee will be calculated daily based on the value of your gold holdings at the AUD mid-point gold price. The fee is charged monthly to your account and gold bullion is deducted at the prevailing sell price to cover the accumulated monthly vaulting fee. The minimum charge per month for vaulting will be A$0.05. We will debit your Rush gold balance monthly in arrears on the 1st day of every month. Your fee will be listed in both your local currency and gold weight in your transactions list. You may view this in the Rush app and download all your transactions at any time.
