About GoldPenthouse

Is GoldPenthouse a trusted place to buy precious metals online?

Yes. GoldPenthouse gives investors a secure platform to buy and sell gold bars and gold coins online, sourced from internationally recognised mints and refiners.

Is it safe to buy from you?

Yes, we place great importance on security. Our website uses modern encryption technologies and your data is treated confidentially throughout checkout and payment.

Products & Pricing

Which precious metals do you offer?

We offer a wide selection of gold bars and gold coins across weights from 1g up to 1kg, sourced from certified manufacturers such as Valcambi, PAMP Suisse, Argor-Heraeus, the Royal Mint, the Austrian Mint and more.

What is the difference between coins and bars?

Coins such as the Krugerrand, Maple Leaf or Vienna Philharmonic often feature attractive designs and are widely recognised worldwide. They are particularly suitable for investors who value flexibility and a high level of liquidity.

Gold bars, on the other hand, are generally more cost-efficient per gram, as minting and production costs are lower.

How can I avoid common mistakes when buying precious metals?

Only purchase from reputable dealers who offer certified products. Be cautious of offers priced well below market value, as these are often fraudulent. Avoid buying precious metal certificates — invest in physical coins or bars instead. Make sure to inform yourself about secure storage options.

Are your products checked for authenticity?

Yes. Our products are sourced from leading mints, refiners and accredited distributors, and are checked for authenticity, fineness, weight and condition before they are listed for sale.

Why are your prices competitive?

We trade precious metals in volume and work with established producers, refiners and distributors. Our prices track live precious metal market prices, which you can follow on our gold price chart.

What is the VAT (value added tax) on my purchase?

Within the EU, investing in physical investment-grade gold is generally exempt from VAT. This information is general in nature and not tax advice — please consult a tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation.

Can I create multiple accounts with different email addresses?

No, creating multiple accounts is not allowed. To keep the shopping experience fair and secure for all customers, we require each individual to have only one account. If you're having trouble accessing your account, please contact our support team for assistance.

Which documents may be required?

For larger transactions or compliance checks, we may request proof of identity, proof of address, or proof of ownership for sell-back transactions. This is part of our KYC and AML process and helps keep precious metals trading secure. Please also see our Terms and Conditions.

You can pay by iDEAL or bank transfer. For security reasons, we do not accept PayPal, Western Union, cryptocurrency or Bitcoin.

Can someone else pay for my order?

No. The person placing the order must also be the person making the payment. For security and compliance reasons, the invoice name must match the bank account or cardholder name.
