Just searched for where to buy gold bars and found that there are quite a few brokers offering this service, but not all are safe and trustworthy.

Sharing my experience that choosing a broker depends on several factors. The first point is licensing and regulation. Make sure they are certified by reputable regulatory agencies like ASIC, FCA, CySEC, etc. The second point is fees and spreads. Some differ significantly; some brokers offer lower gold bar spreads, while others have higher leverage. The third point is the trading platform. Most use MT4 or MT5, which are easy to operate. Lastly, customer service should be available 24/7 because the market never stops.

The brokers commonly recommended are Mitrade (spread 2.3 pips, leverage 1:100), AvaTrade (2.9 pips, 50:1), XM (3.8 pips, up to 1:400), FXTM (1.4 pips, 1:500), Pepperstone (2.5 pips, 1:500), and FBS (1.8 pips, up to 1:3000). All are licensed by various authorities, so choosing where to buy gold bars depends on your personal preferences. Some prefer lower spreads, others prefer higher leverage.

It is recommended to try a demo account first to understand trading and how to use each platform. And don’t forget that investing involves risks; you should study and understand before starting real trading.
