If you want to buy gold bars online safely and not have headaches, buy them from 4 reputable gold retailers I mention in this article.
You may remember a post where I talked about the companies that carry gold in small weights. See here.
In that post I’ve included companies only that are LBMA accredited, have been around for a while and with an established reputation.
In total, excluding Karatbars, there are 7 companies that fit the above criteria: UBS, Credit Suisse, PAMP Suisse, Valcambi Suisse, Argor Heraeus, Austrian Mint and Heraeus.
Each company is at least 40 years old. Plus, all are European and majority is Swiss. Two of these are banks and 5 are gold refineries. Click on the company names above to see their small gold bars.
However, only Austrian Mint sells gold bars directly from their website. Others don’t.
On the other hand, gold bars of these companies are carried by many online gold bullion retailers.

*Depending on a retailer, in their online shops, you can find UBS, Credit Suisse, PAMP Suisse, Valcambi Suisse, Argor Heraeus, Austrian Mint or Heraeus gold bars.
**Depending on a retailer, the bars are available in grams, ounces or kilos.
Suisse Gold
Suissegold.com carries bars of all above-mentioned companies: UBS, Credit Suisse, PAMP Suisse, Valcambi Suisse, Argor Heraeus, Austrian Mint and Heraeus.
Suisee Gold belongs to CC Wealth Limited, a financial company based out of United Kingdom.
Similar to Karatbars, Suisee Gold ships worldwide via FedEx, offers storage and guarantees to buy gold back. (Note: In 2019, Karatbars discontinued a buyback feature).
Suisse Gold has 4 vaults which are located in Zurich, London, Hong Kong and US. As for selling gold back, if you store gold in their vaults, they guarantee to buy gold back at a spot price. Storage in Suisse Gold vaults is free for the first year.
