Process
How it works
STEP 01 — ONBOARDING
Tell us what you're selling
Contact and inform us on the bar size, amount, refiner details you would like to sell with us. We will then conduct an onboarding to open your account with MyTresor. Bars held within the accredited vault chain: Bank vaults, Loomis, Brink's, Malca-Amit and LBMA-approved facilities - are fast-tracked. Bars from outside the chain are professionally tested at intake and, where required, re-assayed by our Swiss LBMA accredited refining partner to ensure full transparency.
Step 02 — Transfer
Insured transfer or intake of metal at your vaults
We will arrange a fully insured transfer with you from your bank or vault - from anywhere in Switzerland. You can also deliver in person to our Zug intake desk by appointment. Your gold is insured to full value from the moment it enters our custody chain. Every movement of funds or precious metals is recorded and monitored at every step.
STEP 03 — SELL
Stablecoins, crypto or fiat
We will inform you immediately after verifying your bars- physical intake settles within 24–48 hours of verification. From this moment onwards, you may choose to fix the price of your bars in +50 digital assets including USDC, USDT, BTC, ETH on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Solana and other supported chains or 40+ fiat currencies by bank wire. From clearance, you may fix the price at any time. During this period, your metal is in LBMA approved custody and insured to full value. Expect immediate settlement of digital assets, and 24-48 hours for fiat settlements to settle.

Selling gold in Switzerland: the tax position
For private individuals resident in Switzerland, capital gains on privately held movable assets — including investment gold — are generally not subject to income tax. If your bars have appreciated over the years, the gain on a private sale is typically tax-free. (Gold holdings are part of taxable wealth while you hold them, and different rules apply to professional traders.)

Uninsured transport is never part of our process.

For Swiss-resident private individuals, capital gains on privately held gold are generally exempt from income tax. Gold counts toward wealth tax while held, and professional traders are taxed differently. This is general information, not tax advice - please advise with your tax advisor.
Because we are a regulated Swiss counterparty. Provenance checks protect the integrity of every bar we sell onward — and they protect you: you receive clean, documented settlement that will not raise questions with your bank. Gold of sanctioned or undocumented origin cannot be accepted.
This has no effect on your payout. Once we fix a price with you upon receipt of the bars, MyTresor AG is contractually obliged to pay you the agreed amount, which is invoiced immediately. We fix the prices with the Mint in advance, and they cannot be withdrawn regardless of price movement in either direction.
