With a 1 kilo gold bar, you are choosing serious, tangible assets in pure physical gold, fully in your name and with a buyback guarantee. At GoldRepublic, you benefit from secure storage, transparent costs, and a wide range of different precious metals.
GoldRepublic only supplies gold bars from LBMA-certified smelters. Examples include Umicore, Valcambi, Agosi, and Argor-Heraeus.
GoldRepublic was the first Dutch company to obtain an AFM license for the sale of physical precious metals. In fact, that license category was created specifically for GoldRepublic at the time.We now have over $1 billion in precious metals in storage, making us by far one of the largest providers in the Netherlands.
The gold you buy through GoldRepublic is 99.99% pure and is supplied by LBMA-certified smelters. Your kilo of gold goes straight from the smelter to the vault. This means that the origin and quality of the gold are fully known and its global tradability is guaranteed. Whether you buy 1 gram of gold, 100 grams of gold, or a kilo of gold.
Your gold is stored in independent, heavily secured vaults in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, or Zurich. The contents of the vaults are periodically and independently checked by professional parties such as Brink's and Loomis. You will receive daily confirmation that your kilo of gold is actually in the vault.

For physical gold, storage is not a minor detail, but one of the most important factors. After all, if you own a kilo of gold, its value exceeds $100,000.
The gold you have purchased through GoldRepublic is stored in externally managed, high-security vaults in countries such as the Netherlands, Germany, or Switzerland, in your own name and outside the estate of custodians.
Because an independent party manages the vaults, it can be objectively confirmed that your 1 kilo bar is actually there. This provides extra security on top of GoldRepublic's own administration. The smelters that GoldRepublic works with meet the strict requirements of the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association). All gold bars must have a purity of at least 99.99% and be marked with a Responsible Gold Code that guarantees their purity. The gold bars must also bear their weight, a unique serial number, the year of production, and the smelter's stamp.

The gold you have purchased through GoldRepublic is covered by a buy-back guarantee. This means you can be sure that you can always convert your kilo of gold back into cash.
We buy back your gold at a price linked to the current gold price, minus a transparent bid-ask spread. You place a sell order online and, once executed, you receive the proceeds in euros in your linked account.
You can also sell gold outside of GoldRepublic. Because it is LBMA-quality investment gold, the bar is easy to sell worldwide.
Through GoldRepublic, you can purchase gold bars from reputable, LBMA-certified refiners. You can buy gold starting from one gram (or with a minimum investment of $50), at the current gold market price.
Saving in gold is also available. Each month, you automatically invest a fixed amount, which is used to purchase gold at the prevailing market price. This allows you to build a gold reserve gradually, without the need for active trading.
Both are precious metals from the Platinum Group Metals (PGM) and are used for automotive and industrial catalysts. Platinum has a higher density, is rare and has a wider range of applications, including jewellery and medical instruments. Palladium is subject to greater price volatility due to more erratic global production.
Approximately 180 tonnes of platinum are mined worldwide each year, compared to over 3,500 tonnes of gold and 25,000 tonnes of silver. Platinum reserves are highly concentrated in South Africa and Russia, which creates supply risks.
You can easily sell your platinum back to GoldRepublic via your account at the current platinum price. The settlement is fast, transparent and without hidden costs.
Normally, you pay 21% VAT on the purchase of platinum. However, because your platinum is stored in Switzerland via GoldRepublic, you do not pay VAT on your platinum purchase.
