In my own evaluation as a trader, I found that BullionVault is not overseen by any financial regulators at this time. This means there is no external governmental body or recognized regulatory agency providing oversight or enforcement of standards for BullionVault’s operations. For someone like me who puts a premium on security and compliance in managing risk, this absence of regulation is a significant factor to consider. While BullionVault does take internal precautions—such as segregated trust accounts and holding client funds in well-known banks like Lloyds and Wells Fargo—these are internal company practices and not requirements imposed or audited by a regulator. The lack of regulation means there’s no independent recourse or governmental protection for traders if something goes wrong, such as mismanagement, insolvency, or fraud. This is especially important for those of us used to brokers that are subject to strict oversight by organizations like the FCA or ASIC. In summary, based on my experience and the details I’ve reviewed, BullionVault currently has no valid regulatory supervision, and this should be carefully weighed before choosing them for precious metals trading. For me, regulatory status is a non-negotiable consideration when assessing counterparty risk in financial services.
