A 1 kg silver bar is popular with investors who want to invest seriously 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 recognised LBMA-certified smelters such as Umicore.
Your silver is stored in highly 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 via your GoldRepublic account, including unique bar numbers.

If you choose storage in a bonded warehouse via GoldRepublic, you may avoid sales tax because the silver is not physically delivered. This can result in significant cost savings.
You can safely buy 1 kilo of silver from reputable precious metals dealers that work with LBMA-approved refiners. Make sure your silver is stored in highly secure, insured vaults that meet international standards.
