Thousands of investors worldwide have chosen GoldRepublic because they can easily buy physical bullion through the online platform. With an online account - which you can open with GoldRepublic for free - you can easily keep a physical bullion portfolio. GoldRepublic's platform is open for trading 24/7, even on the weekend. With GoldRepublic's concept you can own physical bullion and still have the liquidity you are used to, like keeping an account at the bank. 

When you buy gold, silver or platinum from GoldRepublic it is immediately stored safely in one of our professional vaults. These are managed by G4S or by Loomis International in Zurich and Frankfurt. GoldRepublic only works with formally recognized and accredited LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) refiners. This means that all our bullion bars meet the quality requirements as set by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). Bars that come from members of the LBMA meet the generally accepted quality standards for bullion bars.

We can process orders immediately for you in 99.9% of all cases. If your order is not processed immediately, you will be informed by email about the status of your order.  All sold bullion in our vaults is allocated to the customer immediately upon sale, so there is no third party behind the bullion. In addition, GoldRepublic is in the possession of an AFM license, which means that our company is supervised by the Financial Markets Authority (AFM).

The price of precious metals

You buy precious metals at GoldRepublic at the current market price. The notation for the gold price is in dollars and troy ounces. On GoldRepublic's website you can see the different bullion prices in different formats. The precious metal price is displayed in euro per kilo and in US dollars per troy ounce. Also check our gold price, silver price or platinum price for the current market value.

Additional costs

We charge a small fee for the purchase and sale of precious metals. The price you pay for the various precious metals is displayed as 'you buy' or as 'you sell'. For processing each order we charge a 1% transaction fee, this is a fixed percentage. The only additional cost after purchasing precious metals over our online platform is the annual storage fee, provided you use our storage. 

Every quantity of bullion purchased by the customer at GoldRepublic is allocated to the customer. As a customer you automatically receive a message every day about your precious metal allocation, including your bar number. When you place a 'buy order' you initially become the owner or co-owner of a 'standard bullion bar'. Because of this it can happen that your bar number changes. If you would like to have your own bar in the vault, you can choose the option 'reserve bar', which is displayed in your account under the heading 'portfolio'.

 Please note that bars with a volume of 100 grams can only be reserved from vault location Zurich. 

It is possible to pick up your bullion yourself at the vault in Zurich. Please contact our customer service if you would like to please pick up your gold, silver or platinum yourself.

Please note that a fee may be charged if you wish to pick up your position yourself.
