Why purchase precious metals

Precious metals, with gold at the forefront, have been associated with wealth for literally thousands of years.

Moreover, gold is a safe haven during uncertain times, protects against inflation, and is an extremely liquid investment. Since the year 2000, the price of gold has risen by approximately 9% annually.

At goud999safe, we are convinced of the value that physical precious metals offer for both savers and investors. A position in physical precious metal seems to us a logical choice.

Our mission? To make this accessible to everyone under the best conditions.

Years of Expertise: With goud999, we have built up rich experience in trading gold, silver, and platinum coins and bars.

Optimal Tradability: At goud999safe, we store your precious metals in their most liquid form, ensuring their tradability in the future.

Safety First: Storing precious metals oneself comes with risks such as theft and loss. Our experience shows that these risks are often underestimated. Additionally, precious metals stored on one's own are almost impossible to insure.

Guaranteed Authenticity: A lot of 'paper' gold and silver are traded without actual physical backing. In crisis situations, this can lead to losses. Hence, we only offer real, physical precious metals for purchase and sale, while maintaining the option for physical delivery.

Storage and Insurance: Until you decide to keep your precious metals yourself, we offer safe storage and insurance in one of the safest places: Switzerland.

100% allocated!

We understand that you, as the buyer of precious metals, want full transparency and confirmation that the material is actually present. Therefore, all purchased metals will be registered and stored in your name.

Our platform has been designed so that each gram purchased will be assigned a unique serial number.

If enough metal is available after the purchase has been completed, these serial numbers will be generated immediately.

In the event of the need to add new bars to the platform, the numbering is done as soon as possible.

Once the purchase status is "100% allocated", the allocation is final. 

goud999safe has no position in leased precious metals. These will always be the property of the customer after purchase. On the goud999safe platform, you will be the only legal owner of 100% allocated precious metals.

Meer info over de nieuwe tarieffiche

Wijzigingen in onze vernieuwde tarieffiche!

Bij goud999safe streven we er altijd naar om onze prijsstelling zo duidelijk en transparant mogelijk te maken, zodat u in alle vertrouwen transacties kan uitvoeren in uw account.

Onze recente aanpassing zorgt voor een beter overzicht van onze prijzen.

Wat is er veranderd?

Transparantie: Onze standaard prijszetting blijft ongewijzigd. U betaalt nog steeds exact hetzelfde bedrag per gram edelmetaal, gebaseerd op de actuele live edelmetaalprijzen. Wat we echter hebben verbeterd, is de manier waarop we deze prijzen presenteren. We maken nu een transactiekost van 1% duidelijk zichtbaar in de prijsopbouw. Dit zorgt voor volledige transparantie over hoe onze prijzen zijn samengesteld.

Bijkomend - Speciale korting voor grote aankopen: Voor investeerders die in grotere hoeveelheden edelmetaal investeren, introduceren we een automatische korting dankzij onze nieuwe structuur. Bij aankopen groter dan 1 kilogram (goud, platina, palladium) of 31 kilogram (zilver), profiteert u automatisch van de beste prijs door een gereduceerde transactiekost van slechts 0,50%.

Dit maakt uw aanzienlijke investeringen nog voordeliger.

Uw voordelen:

Dezelfde concurrerende prijzen als altijd.
Meer besparingen bij grotere aankopen.
Duidelijkheid en transparantie in elke transactie.

Bij goud999safe waarderen we uw vertrouwen en zetten we ons in om u de beste investeringservaring te bieden. Als u nog bijkomende vragen heeft, horen we graag van u!


Hoe betaal ik de kosten voor bewaring en verzekering?

Elk kwartaal ontvangt u een aanrekening voor de kosten van opslag en verzekering van het fysiek edelmetaal in uw bezit.

Hoe u deze kosten voldoet, kan u zelf kiezen. We zetten de mogelijkheden even op een rijtje:

1. Positie Contant.

Indien u voldoende contant heeft in uw portfolio, wordt de kwartaalkost daarvan afgehouden. Contant is altijd de eerste plaats waar ons platform kijkt, om een kwartaal aanrekening te voldoen.

2. Domiciliëring/automatisch incasso.

Wilt u uw aanrekeningen liefst via een domiciliëring of automatische incasso voldoen? Neem dan contact met ons op via info@goud999safe.com om dit op te starten.

3. Via een keuze bij de Instellingen van uw account, kan u kiezen voor bankoverschrijving OF een automatische gedeeltelijke verkoop van edelmetaal .

Bij de Instellingen in uw account, vindt u helemaal onderaan een keuzemogelijkheid. U kan OFWEL elk kwartaal een rekening ontvangen die u via bankoverschrijving voldoet. OFWEL kiest u voor een automatische verkoop van een klein gedeelte van edelmetaal in uw portfolio, om de kosten van het kwartaal te dekken.

Deze keuze kan u dus zelf instellen en in de toekomst ook nog steeds wijzigen.
