LIVE CHART MANIPULATION

It is disappointing that BullionVault froze its charts on Sunday night, which has misled its clients. At 11:00 pm on Sunday, 08/03/2026, the charts stopped updating. While the actual spot prices of the metals were falling, BullionVault’s charts remained frozen. Even now, at 00:26 on Monday, 09/03/2026, the charts are still frozen.
I find it suspicious that BullionVault is selling metals at prices lower than the spot price shown on their charts, when in reality those prices were actually above the true market spot price. This is a serious deception, and my trust in BullionVault has been completely eroded. This is a cynical attempt to exploit its clients. I have kept screenshots. I was going to recommend Bullionvault to my friends and family, but that has now taken a 360 turn.

Reply from BullionVault

Dear Mr Connolly,

We are sorry for the brief outage in BullionVault's live spot-price chart you experienced starting at 11pm UK time on Sunday night.

Because our chart uses data from an external third-party source, you'll understand that we cannot and do not make any guarantees for its stability, availability or accuracy. But our Tech Team worked quickly to restore live chart updates from back-up feeds, and that work - completed before 1am UK time - also enabled our own trading bots to begin quoting live bid/ask prices on the Order Board too. The prices you had seen in the meantime had come from other users.

Again, we're sorry for the chart outage, and we hope that your future experience can help restore your high opinion of BullionVault's service.

Kind regards,

The BullionVault Team

Overall very good.

It's a great service the only thing that's a bit annoying is adding money but I understand it's hard to work with payment providers when you're doing something like investments.

Hard Assets backed investments

I was looking for a hard asset-backed investment platform to diversify my investments. I came across BullionVault and was impressed with the company as a whole: its background, the platform setup, ease of use, competitive service prices, and having four specific assets to invest in made my choice easy. Ups and downs are a matter of course with investments, but having up-to-date information, which is provided, lets me track my investment with confidence. Enjoying the platform, I have and will continue to recommend BullionVault.

Satisfied, new customer

I was able to upload my documents through the portal and get verified. The daily audit provides a lot of visibility into where the gold is is stored.

Bullionvault is secure, low cost and simple to use and

The Bullionvault user interface is a model of clarity which. makes the purchase or sale of even the smallest amount of bullion completely straightforward. I have held an account for many years and find the combination of security with low storage and dealing costs unbeatable. I recommend this company without hesitation.

Excellent, convenient and fast. Hassle free.

I have had my Bullionvault account for over 10 years and have never had a problem with it that a quick conversation with support could not resolve. Those were just teething pains. It has been an excellent experience throughout with them. Highly convenient and the app works wonderfully and swiftly.

In six years, I've never had a problem.

I rang BV today with a question about downloading statements and other info. They were absolutely brilliant. The sorted my query out in a jiffy. I've been with them for nearly six years now and never had a problem.
