About
Borne out of the 2008 financial crisis
Silver Bullion, the company behind The Reserve, was founded in Singapore as a response to the great financial crisis. Its vision was to build the safest place for precious metals, primarily gold and silver, to help its customers protect against the dire consequences of such events by reasoning from first principles.
First silver bar arrived, retail operations started
Singapore had no established liquidity provider for physical silver at the time, allowing Silver Bullion to become a pioneer in the local retail market.

Silver Bullion’s initial S.T.A.R. Storage allowed for tax free storage and segregated parcel ownership but relied on third parties, resulting in sub-optimal insurance and foreign nationalization force majeure clauses.
