A 1 kg silver bar is popular with investors who are serious about investing in silver.
At GoldRepublic, you only buy silver with a purity of 99.9% (999 fine silver). The bars go directly from the smelter to the vault, without any intermediaries. This means we know the exact origin and quality of every kilo of silver. We only work with internationally recognized LBMA-certified smelters such as Umicore.
Your silver is stored in heavily secured vaults. If you choose a vault in Switzerland (Zurich) or Germany (Frankfurt), you will not have to pay VAT on your silver investment. This is a significant difference compared to investing in silver in the Netherlands, where a 21% VAT applies.
The vaults where the precious metals are stored are managed by external parties and are heavily secured. Your kilo of silver is also fully insured against theft, loss, or damage. You can view your positions daily, including unique bar numbers, via your GoldRepublic account.
