Gold purchased through the IGE GOLD App complies with the regulations governing investment gold (purity 999.9‰). At the time of minting, customers may request LBMA bars directly through the App, supplied by our partner CHIMET S.p.A. For smaller sizes not covered by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) standard, IGE produces bars sourced from Good Delivery suppliers. Each bar produced is individually serialized with a unique identification number recorded on the blockchain to guarantee the bar’s provenance.
Physical investment gold purchased and/or stored with IGE GOLD is covered by a primary insurance policy of leading financial strength, specifically arranged to protect against potential risks of theft or loss, with the possibility of requesting a named copy of the policy. In the event of a claim relating to gold held in custody by IGE GOLD, the Client benefits from First Loss insurance coverage.
The spot gold value is the current market price for gold. However, when buying physical gold (such as ingots), the sale price is always higher than the spot price due to a series of additional costs, such as the retailer's margin, operating costs, labour costs, insurance. With IGE GOLD, no surprises: we offer you maximum transparency. In the IGE GOLD app you always have a clear and detailed summary of prices, commissions and variable total costs for each operation at any time, depending on the quantity of grams purchased.
You can move your physical gold at any time, with full flexibility. You always have the option to request its sale, with the corresponding amount credited to your account. It is also possible to withdraw physical gold in denominations ranging from 5 grams up to 1 kg LBMA bars. Furthermore, you are always guaranteed the possibility to close your account to zero by requesting smaller bar denominations and the monetary settlement of the gold held in custody.
You can make the payment by bank transfer or credit card. If you choose the bank transfer, the exact quantity of gold will be credited on your account as soon as we receive the amount on our account.
