More and more wealthy Americans are choosing to buy physical silver as a stable investment. Why?
Protection against inflation: just like gold, silver offers protection in times of currency devaluation.
Increasing industrial demand: silver is an essential raw material for electronics, solar energy and in the medical and technological sectors. Demand for silver is increasing due to the energy transition and digitalisation, while supply remains limited.
Favourable silver/gold ratio: historically speaking, silver is currently relatively undervalued compared to gold. Many investors see this as a promising entry point.
'Poor man's gold': silver is more accessible than gold, yet offers similar advantages in terms of value retention and diversification.
When purchasing silver directly, you normally pay 21% VAT in the Netherlands. GoldRepublic solves this by storing your silver directly in special customs warehouses in Germany and Switzerland. This means you do not have to pay VAT on your purchase, which makes a significant difference to your final return.
GoldRepublic works exclusively with LBMA-certified smelters, including Umicore. Our silver bars are 99.9% pure and meet Good Delivery standards, which is by far the most efficient way to invest in silver.
The bars go directly from the smelter to the independent vault, where they are checked by an external auditor. This ensures that you are investing in top-quality physical silver and that your silver remains tradable worldwide.
Saving silver:
Would you like to make partial purchases, spread them out over time, or invest in silver automatically on a regular basis? At GoldRepublic, you can easily create a 'silver savings plan'.
You steadily build up a position without investing a large amount at once. Ideal for those who want to spread their investments and value flexibility.
Secure storage for silver:
Your silver is stored in heavily secured vaults, which are not managed by GoldRepublic itself but by external specialists. This allows the presence of your silver to be independently confirmed.
Your silver is fully insured against theft, loss, or damage. You can view your positions daily, including unique bar numbers, via your GoldRepublic account. An external audit is conducted every year, and the report is publicly available.

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.
