Gold trading without middlemen
Why we exist
We noticed that the seller is in a very unfavourable position in the gold trade. The seller receives a single offer that is often significantly below the market price — without knowing what their gold is actually worth. We wanted to make gold trading honest, simple and efficient. That is why we founded Gold Lab.
Gold Lab does the opposite of what is common in the industry: we show the world market price in real time instead of hiding it. You always receive exactly the world market price for your gold, minus a transparent service fee and refining fee. We can always pay you the best possible price because we connect you directly with buyers at an industrial scale.
We are building Gold Lab, Europe's first transparent gold trading platform where the seller is connected directly to the world market. Our vision is to make Gold Lab the standard way in which valuables are converted to money — openly and simply.
What we believe in
We believe the customer should see the same data as us. We display the spot price of investment gold in real time on our website. We openly specify every fee deducted from the amount to be paid to you. We document everything on the receipt so you can verify the price you received even after the fact.
We connect the seller directly to the world market. In traditional gold trading, gold passes through a local buyer, a broker and a refiner to reach the world market — each step reduces the amount paid to you. At Gold Lab there is only one party: us. The seller receives the same market price as an industrial buyer, minus our transparent fee.
The gold price is based on the actual spot price, not the shop's own estimate. Our fee is always openly calculated: the service fee is specified for shipping and assessment, the refining fee is 8.9% of the gold's value. No hidden percentages, no variable margins.
Never again.
Many gold sellers struggle with the same challenges.
Compensation far below market price
You do not know in advance what you will get. Money is lost when you accept an underpriced offer.
Opaque price lists
You do not know the local jeweller's margin and have no other point of comparison than "another shop nearby".
We conduct gold trading transparently in a way we can present with a clear conscience.
