How does GoldRepublic's platinum savings plan work?

With the platinum savings plan, you automatically save a fixed amount in physical platinum bullion. This allows you to buy platinum periodically without having to keep an eye on it. This is possible from as little as £50 each time (or from 1 gram, depending on the current price).

You choose the frequency at which you want to save in platinum: weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

  1. You decide your own periodic contribution (from £45).
  2. The amount is automatically debited on the first working day of the week or month.
  3. Platinum is purchased for you at the price applicable at that time.
  4. Your platinum is immediately stored under insurance in highly secure vaults, supervised by external parties.
  5. You can adjust or pause your savings amount and frequency at any time, free of charge.

Why save in platinum bullion?

Diversification and protection:
Platinum offers excellent diversification for your portfolio, with its own price developments and scarce character

Physical security:
You save tangible platinum periodically in your own name, under external control and insurance.

Instant liquidity:
At any time, you can sell your saved platinum (part of it or your entire stock) and have the proceeds transferred back to you.

Low-threshold investing in platinum:
With a starting amount from £50 each time, investing in platinum becomes highly accessible. Besides saving in platinum, you can also save in other precious metals with GoldRepublic. Take a look, for example, at our Gold Savings Plan and Silver Savings Plan.

Frequently asked questions

How does saving (investing regularly) in platinum work?

Platinum investing plans allow you to invest regularly (e.g. monthly) from a set amount in GBP. This spreads purchases over time and reduces exposure to price volatility.

What is the minimum amount to start saving in platinum?

Many platforms allow starting from around £50 per month, though minimums vary by provider.

Is a platinum savings plan VAT-free in the UK?

If platinum is stored outside the UK in a bonded warehouse, purchases can be VAT-free. If stored in the UK, VAT (20%) generally applies.

How do I benefit from pound-cost averaging when investing in platinum?

Pound-cost averaging means investing regularly regardless of price. You buy more when prices are low and less when high, smoothing your average purchase cost over time.

Where is my saved platinum stored?

Platinum is typically stored in insured, high-security vaults (often in Switzerland or London). When held in bonded storage, VAT can be deferred or avoided.

Can I combine a platinum savings plan with one-off purchases?

Yes, most platforms allow combining regular investments with one-off purchases, all managed within the same portfolio.

Can I sell my saved platinum at any time?

Yes, you can usually sell at any time via your account at the current bid price. Proceeds are typically paid within 1–2 working days.
