Our Chicago roots

Founded in the Chicago Board of Trade building.

Ausecure started at CME Group in 2009, at LaSalle and Jackson, right after the credit crisis. Its founders were traders who left paper markets for physical metal.

The Chicago Board of Trade opened in 1848. Today it and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange are both part of CME Group, which also runs COMEX, the main U.S. futures market for gold and silver.

Our first office and vault were in the West Loop, at the former Broadway Bank location on Peoria Street. Ausecure is still based in Chicago.
