Instead, payments are made to a **regulated, independent Client Protection Account,** providing complete clarity and control throughout the transaction. Here’s how it works: 1. **A deal is agreed.** 2. **Paperwork is issued.** 3. The **regulated client support team** contacts you directly to guide you through each step. We will release your gold from our vault once your funds are received and confirmed into the Client Protection Account. It will then be fully insured and prepared for **next-day delivery**. Only after you’ve received your gold securely will the funds be released to Britannia Bullion. ### **Regulated Funds Handling & Protection** At Britannia Bullion, we do not receive or hold your funds directly. All client payments are made to a **regulated UK solicitor’s client account**, operated independently by **SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority)** rules. This ensures: - Funds are held **outside our business accounts** - S**olicitor-client protections govern transactions** - A regulated legal entity **controls all movement of funds** In addition, the solicitor’s practice maintains **Professional Indemnity Insurance** and adheres to **SRA-mandated client money rules,** providing further reassurance and accountability. Your funds remain protected until the agreed transaction is fulfilled and gold is delivered securely. This structure ensures **professional handling, peace of mind, and transparency** at every stage. ![Alision\_Law\_ff6f608f-5779-4eca-98b2-b047202d65cb](https://www.britanniabullion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog/Alision_Law_ff6f608f-5779-4eca-98b2-b047202d65cb.webp?width=584&height=117&name=Alision_Law_ff6f608f-5779-4eca-98b2-b047202d65cb.webp) **Keep it simple.** **Keep it protected.** **Keep it for when the time comes to use it.**  **[![3-1](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/145917567/interactive-394296197326.png)](https://www.britanniabullion.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLMiziksxhFLpju8U6qVPeBu0tUz6330rctNoJXlFh70hGCRyGEiqiHFx7wtzzrRzRnJYR7tTREE2B0A5u95d%2F2UUiKRSHK9eZ3ZWPWBBDyZZuq95WAEfam0A2Fz3178lSbk5dNe2oC2eemFaHo%2BUDytIoewe93%2Fzne7hH0fzvQ1MYTupiG3wyASGQrDG10E3%2Bxg%2Bh0M%2Bo0VdlV3i6fMGFNXLOHz0w%2FlRCueixlgeG%2BvA%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=394296197326&portalId=145917567)** Topics - [British](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/british) - [Gold Coins](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/gold-coins) - [News](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/news) - [UK](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/uk) - [Inflation](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/inflation) - [Capital Gains Tax](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/capital-gains-tax) - [security](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/security) - [Budget](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/budget) - [Taxfree](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/taxfree) - [Digital ID](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/digital-id) - [Control](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/control) - [Women](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/women) - [isa](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/isa) - [Kitco](https://www.britanniabullion.com/blog/tag/kitco) ### Stay informed Physical Gold · Wealth Protection A British gold consultancy helping clients decide whether physical gold has a role in protecting what they have built.
