Saving gold through GoldRepublic: how does it work?

GoldRepublic's savings plan is ideal for those who want to build up long-term wealth in gold. You decide the amount you want to deposit periodically (from $50 per deposit) and how often you want to call (weekly, biweekly, or monthly). This amount is automatically converted into physical gold, which is purchased and stored on your behalf.

  • Set your periodic deposit
  • The amount is automatically debited weekly, biweekly, or monthly
  • We purchase physical gold for you at the current gold price
  • Your gold is stored securely in our independent vaults

You can always view your accumulated gold position via your GoldRepublic account. You can also easily adjust or pause your periodic deposit.

And if you want to sell (part of) your gold, you benefit from our buy-back guarantee, whereby we always buy back the gold you have purchased through GoldRepublic at the current gold price.

Why save gold?

Reliable store of value:
By investing in physical gold, you spread your risks. Gold is seen as a safe haven and is not dependent on the financial system or central banks.

Spread over time:
When saving in gold, you periodically buy gold at the current gold price. Because the gold price can fluctuate daily, you spread your purchase moments. This is called cost averaging: you avoid buying a large amount of gold at once at an unfavorable moment.

Accessible:
Buying gold often requires a larger one-time investment. With gold savings, you can start with a small amount. This makes investing in gold accessible, even if you do not (yet) want to invest a large amount at once.

Discipline and consistency:
With a savings plan, you automatically deposit an amount every week or every two weeks. This helps you build up long-term wealth in physical gold without having to actively manage it. 

Flexibility:
You decide how much you want to deposit periodically and can easily adjust this amount or pause your periodic deposits. In addition, you can always sell back your accumulated gold thanks to GoldRepublic's buyback guarantee.

Costs of saving gold

When you save in gold via GoldRepublic, you pay 0.5% transaction fees per periodic purchase and 0.5% storage fees per year (excluding VAT). If you opt for the savings plan, you receive a 50% discount on your transaction costs. Your transaction costs are therefore half as much (0.5%) with GoldRepublic's savings plan as when you buy gold occasionally (1%).

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between platinum and palladium?

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.

How scarce is platinum?

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.

How does the buy-back guarantee work for platinum?

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.

Is platinum exempt from VAT?

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.
