Pegadaian offers gold custody service to secure assets during long trips

Leaving a house empty while travelling for an extended period increases the security risk for valuables such as gold bars, jewellery, and diamonds. Therefore, the public needs to prepare precautionary measures to keep assets safe while away. One approach is using a safe with an adequate locking system, equipping the home with CCTV and motion sensors, and avoiding storing valuables in easily discoverable locations. Additionally, automatic lights can help create the impression that the house remains occupied, potentially reducing the risk of crime. For those who do not wish to leave valuable assets at home, depositing them with an official institution can be a more credible storage alternative. Pegadaian provides a Physical Gold Custody Service that allows customers to deposit gold bars and jewellery in storage facilities with layered security systems. The service can also be used by customers who have completed gold purchase transactions but have not yet collected the gold from Pegadaian branch offices. This physical gold custody service is professionally managed and includes insurance protection against the risk of loss or damage in accordance with applicable regulations. By utilising storage facilities at official institutions, the public can reduce the risk of asset loss while their homes are left unoccupied for a considerable period, whether for mudik, holidays, or other purposes. In addition to safeguarding assets, this measure also provides peace of mind for owners of valuables while they are out of town.
