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.
