Pegadaian offers gold custody service to secure assets during long trips

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Leaving home unoccupied during extended travel increases the security risk to valuable items such as gold bars, jewellery and diamonds. Members of the public therefore need to take precautionary measures to keep their assets safe whilst away.

One option is to use a safe with an adequate locking system, install surveillance cameras (CCTV) and motion sensors around the house, and avoid storing valuables in easily discoverable places.

In addition, automatic lighting can help create the impression that the house remains occupied, potentially reducing the risk of crime.

For those who prefer not to leave valuable assets at home, custody 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 at storage facilities with multi-layered security systems.

The service can also be used by customers who have settled their gold purchase transactions but have not yet collected the gold from a Pegadaian branch office.

The physical gold custody service is professionally managed and comes with insurance protection against the risk of loss or damage in accordance with applicable regulations.

By using storage facilities at an official institution, the public can reduce the risk of asset loss whilst their home is left vacant for a considerable period, whether for homecoming trips, holidays, or other purposes.

Beyond safeguarding assets, the step also provides peace of mind for owners of valuables whilst they are away from home.
