What is the GoldSaver account?
The GoldSaver account was the first gold accumulation program in the U.S. and the western world in general. It allows U.S. savers the opportunity to build up an investment in gold bullion over a period of time by saving in physical gold bullion.

How does the GoldSaver account work?
As a GoldSaver account holder you will nominate a sum of money to be invested in gold on a monthly basis. The minimum fixed monthly amount is $100 and there is no maximum.

This deposit can be paid by standing order on a specific day each month or a lump sum can be paid and then allocated to gold on a monthly basis in classic dollar cost averaging style.

This date is the same for all GoldSaver clients and is currently the 6th or the 8th (if the 6th falls on the weekend) day of any given month. GoldCore purchases gold bullion on behalf of GoldSaver Account clients at the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) AM U.S. dollar gold fixing price.

This is the global industry standard benchmark gold reference price, derived from the highly liquid London gold market, and guarantees price transparency since it is a traded price, based on actual physical gold trading in the London gold market.

GoldCore then credits the gold ounces purchased to each client’s GoldSaver account which can be accessed through our highly secure, password-protected on-line account access.

GoldSaver clients can view all current and historic trades along with valuations of their gold holdings.

Are my savings safe?
The gold for GoldSaver accounts is purchased from LBMA approved refineries and stored in high security vaults in the safest jurisdictions in the world.

What is the minimum term?
The minimum term for saving in a GoldSaver account is 12 months. After 12 months, you can choose to continue to save, stop saving but keep your account open, cash in your savings for dollars, or have your gold delivered to your door at an applicable cost for shipping and insurance.
