Prices: Our prices are based on the international spot price of the metal, provided by a professional market-data provider and refreshed approximately every 10 to 15 minutes; if it is more than 30 minutes old, trading is paused until it updates. You buy at the spot price plus a premium and sell to us at the spot price minus a discount. The premium and discount reflect the cost of physical metal and market conditions, can change, and are included in the price rather than charged as a separate fee. The price on the order confirmation is valid for 60 seconds. If the execution price differs from the price you confirmed by more than 0.25%, the order is not executed and you are asked to confirm again.
Storage costs: 0.50% per year for gold and 1.00% per year for silver, of the value of your metal, calculated daily, plus VAT at 5%. The full schedule is on our Fees and Spread page.
Transaction commissions: A commission of 1.00% of the order value, plus 5% VAT on the commission (1.05% in total), is charged on each purchase and each sale (0.50% plus VAT, 0.525% in total, on recurring purchases, when available). The metal itself is zero-rated for VAT. The commission and its VAT are shown separately on the order confirmation and the invoice.

Price note: the premium and discount in our buy and sell prices are not part of the total above. The price is shown on the platform before you confirm and adds to the cost of buying and selling. Recurring purchases are shown at their 0.50% + 5% VAT commission, when available. Full details are on our Fees and Spread page.
This tool is for illustration only and does not constitute an offer. Prices and fees may differ at execution. Storage and the sale commission are estimated on a constant metal value; the value of precious metals can fall.
