400 oz good delivery wholesale gold bars
With BullionVault you buy gold bullion in this large-bar format.
As demonstrated above there is a better way to buy gold than in coin and small bar form. Using BullionVault you can buy AND sell gold at wholesale prices.
Open an account today with just your name, email, username and a password to take advantage of our low commissions that start at 0.5% and fall quickly on larger quantities, meaning you’ll pay a maximum of 1% roundtrip compared to about 10% if you bought and then sold a small bar or coin from a retail dealer.
That wholesale price – also known as the 'spot price' – is the price for buying or selling gold in the form of large, 400oz (12.5kg) bullion bars. These large bars are the size and format the professional market deals in. All small bars and coins are made by melting and re-casting these large bars into smaller units.
BullionVault gives you access to the professional market. You buy bullion in this same large-bar format at prices right next to the spot price, avoiding the additional manufacturing costs and dealer mark-ups of buying coins. You don't need to buy a whole bar to benefit from these savings. You can buy from as little as 1 gram and up to 100kg or more.
To see the potential cost savings, compare the online price of any gold coin you're thinking about with the price you would pay for the same amount of gold using BullionVault.
Gold bars for delivery
As explained above, owning wholesale bullion in a market-accredited vault is the safer, cheaper and easier way to invest in gold, silver, platinum and palladium. That said, we recognize that some people also like to keep a little bullion at home, and so we now enable UK users to withdraw gold in the form of a 100 gram bar.
