Gold has long been one of the most popular investment instruments in Indonesia, both by individuals and institutions such as banks. However, as a valuable asset, gold is also vulnerable to various risks, such as theft, loss or damage due to natural disasters. This is where risk management and gold insurance play a crucial role. Risk management helps identify, assess and mitigate potential threats, while insurance provides financial protection in the event of a loss.

For banks, gold is often part of an asset portfolio that must be guarded with a high security system. Meanwhile, for individuals, gold can be in the form of jewelry, bars, or other forms of investment that require extra protection. In Indonesia, with varying crime rates and the risk of natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods, having the right risk management and insurance strategy is no longer just an option, but a necessity.

This article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the importance of risk management and gold insurance for banks and individuals in Indonesia. With this information, readers are expected to be able to take appropriate steps to protect their valuable assets, both through a good security system and selecting appropriate insurance products.

 

The Importance of Risk Management in Storing Gold in Banks and Privately 

1.1. Risks of Storing Gold in Banks

  1. Potential for theft, natural disasters, or human error.
  2. Financial impact if gold is lost or damaged.

1.2. Risks of Private Gold Storage

  1. Lack of adequate security system at home.
  2. Threat of robbery or loss.

1.3. Risk Management Role

         Identify, analyze and mitigate risks.

 

The Importance of Risk Management in Storing Gold in Banks and Privately 

2.1. Risks of Storing Gold in Banks

Even though banks are known as safe places to store assets, gold stored in banks still carries risks. One of the main threats is the potential for theft, both by internal and external parties. Additionally, natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, or fires can damage bank storage facilities and threaten the security of gold. Not only that, human errors such as negligence in handling or administration can also cause losses.

The financial impact of losing or damaging gold in a bank can be very large, especially if the value of the gold stored reaches billions of rupiah. Without good risk management, banks can experience significant losses that affect their financial stability. Therefore, banks need to implement a multi-layered security system and collaborate with insurance companies to minimize risks.

2.2. Risks of Private Gold Storage

For individuals, storing gold at home may seem practical, but it also carries high risks. The lack of an adequate security system at home makes gold vulnerable to the threat of robbery or theft. Apart from that, gold stored at home can also be lost due to misplacement or negligence of the owner.

Another risk is damage from natural disasters such as fire or flood, which can destroy gold or make it difficult to find. For individuals, losing gold not only means financial loss, but also the loss of valuable assets that may have been accumulated over many years.

2.3. Risk Management Role

Risk management plays an important role in protecting gold, both at the bank and at the individual level. The first step is risk identification, namely recognizing potential threats that may occur. After that, a risk analysis is carried out to assess how big the impact might be.

The next step is risk mitigation, namely taking action to reduce the possibility of loss. Examples of effective mitigation measures include:

For Banks:

  1. Using a high-tech safe with a layered security system.
  2. Install CCTV and motion detection sensors.
  3. Work with insurance companies for financial protection.

For Individuals:

  1. Store gold in a fire and water proof safe.
  2. Install an alarm system at home.
  3. Consider storing it in a bank safe deposit box.

By implementing good risk management, both banks and individuals can minimize potential losses and maintain the security of their gold assets.

With this explanation, readers will understand how important risk management is in protecting gold, both at the bank and at the personal level.

 

Types of Insurance Available for Gold in Indonesia 

3.1. Gold Insurance for Banks

Banks as depositors of valuable assets such as gold require extra protection through gold insurance. This insurance product is specifically designed to protect gold from various risks, such as theft, fire and natural disasters (earthquakes, floods or landslides). The protection coverage usually covers financial losses due to loss or damage to gold stored in a safe or bank storage facility.

Several leading insurance companies in Indonesia, such as Astra Insurance, Allianz, and Jasa Raharja, offer special insurance products for gold. This insurance policy is usually adjusted to the value of the gold stored and the level of risk faced by the bank. For example, banks located in disaster-prone areas may require broader coverage for earthquake or flood protection.

3.2. Gold Insurance for Individuals

For individuals, gold insurance provides protection for various forms of gold ownership, such as gold bullion, jewelry or gold investments. This insurance product is designed to protect gold from the risk of theft, loss or damage due to natural disasters.

The main difference between gold insurance for banks and individuals lies in the scope of protection and premium amount. Insurance for banks usually has wider coverage and higher premiums because the value of the gold stored is much greater. Meanwhile, insurance for individuals is more flexible, with premiums adjusted to the value of the gold and the owner’s needs. For example, an individual can choose insurance that only covers theft or adds protection against natural disasters.

3.3. Gold Transport Insurance

Apart from storage, gold transportation also requires special protection. Gold transportation insurance is designed to protect gold during the shipping process from/to banks, factories, or other locations. Common risks faced during transportation include theft, accidents or damage due to extreme weather.

This insurance is very important for logistics companies that transport large amounts of gold, as well as for banks that frequently move gold between branches or to special storage. By having transportation insurance, logistics companies and banks can minimize financial losses if an incident occurs during delivery. Some insurance companies also offer GPS monitoring services and armed escorts to increase security during transportation.

By understanding the types of insurance available, both banks and individuals can choose the product that best suits their needs. Gold insurance not only provides financial protection, but also peace of mind in managing valuable assets.

 

Example of Implementing Gold Security in Banks

Large banks in Indonesia, such as Bank Mandiri, BRI, and BCA, have implemented sophisticated security systems to protect the gold they store. Some commonly used security measures include:

Layered safe: 

The safe is made of fire and water resistant material, and is equipped with an electronic locking system that can only be accessed by authorized personnel.

CCTV and sensors: 

24/7 monitoring via CCTV cameras and motion detection sensors to prevent unauthorized access.

Collaboration with insurance companies: 

The bank collaborates with leading insurance providers to provide financial protection in the event of loss or damage to gold.

Implementation of this security system not only protects bank assets, but also gives customers confidence that their gold is safe.

 

Gold Loss Cases and Their Handling

Even though bank security systems are sophisticated, gold loss incidents can still occur. One example of a case is the loss of gold at a private bank in Jakarta due to a theft involving internal elements. In this case, the bank can submit an insurance claim to cover the financial losses experienced.

Another example is gold damage due to a fire at a bank branch in Surabaya. Thanks to an insurance policy that covered fire damage, the bank was able to obtain compensation to repair the facility and replace the damaged gold.

Lessons to be learned:

The importance of a multi-layered security system: Although insurance provides financial protection, prevention remains the top priority.

Collaboration with insurance: Having the right insurance policy can help minimize financial losses if an incident occurs.

Audit routine: 

Banks need to carry out regular checks on security systems and gold storage protocols to ensure everything is running according to standards.

By studying these cases, banks and individuals can take proactive steps to improve gold security and ensure optimal protection.

 

Role of Insurance Broker for Gold Insurance and Introduction to L&G Insurance Broker

Insurance brokers play an important role in helping banks and individuals choose the right gold insurance product. They act as intermediaries between clients and insurance companies, providing professional advice based on their needs and risks faced.
