Asks move with XAU. Premiums are published on every SKU — the BullionByPost / JM rule, not a hidden phone price.
Kampala desk · International settlement
Own African gold. Trade it like a desk.
Assay-certified bars and coins. Wholesale lots for refiners. Live spot, published premiums, KYC before metal moves — the same things buyers expect from London, Dallas, and Dubai.

Assay with the metal
Independent assay or mint certificate. Serials on refined bars. We will not sell “trust us” purity.
Allocated, or delivered
Take metal home insured, or hold it in allocated storage. You choose. Title is yours either way.
A bid as well as an ask
A dealer that never buys is a showroom. We bid on bars and coins we recognise.

Live gold, the way a desk quotes it
Spot from Gold-API. Bid is what we pay for a recognised 1 oz bar. Ask is our 1 oz published retail. Wholesale is tighter — RFQ.

Indicative only. A trade locks on written confirmation after KYC. Same discipline as BullionVault’s board — without pretending we are an LBMA vault exchange.
Market place
The book international buyers actually shop
Bars for cost per gram. Coins for liquidity. Wholesale for desks. Filter like JM. Prices like BullionByPost: spot plus a published premium.

What does this budget buy?
Clients always ask this. Put a USD amount against a live SKU. It is indicative — duty, freight and assay can move the final ticket.
Allocated storage
Hold it. Or take it. Your title either way.
BullionVault won the world on vaulted allocated gold. BullionByPost offers optional storage. We do both: insured home / CIP delivery, or allocated storage after KYC.
Gold custody 0.15% per year, billed monthly, insurance included. Minimum $8 / month. First 90 days free on new allocated lots.
We are not a 400 oz London Good Delivery exchange. Storage is allocated to you on named bars. Daily internal reconciliation. Third-party bar list on request for lots of 1 kg+.
- Delivery
- Discreet insured parcels. Tracking above a quoted threshold. Split consignments when one box would be reckless.
- CIP corridors
- Dubai, London, Istanbul, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Nairobi
- Collect in Kampala
- By appointment after KYC. No hotel-lobby cash.
- Payments we take
- International wire. Escrow on first lift. Repeat clients may add other rails in writing — never on day one.

FAQ
What gold buyers ask before they wire
Are website prices the price I pay?
They are live indicative asks over spot. The trade is the written confirmation after KYC, assay where required, and logistics. We will not honour a screenshot from last week.
Do you ship outside Uganda?
Yes. Retail parcels and wholesale CIP. Import duty at destination is yours unless we quote DDP, which is rare.
Can I pay by card like JM Bullion?
Not on the first international lift. Wire is the professional standard and it is cheaper. Card processors treat gold as high-risk.
Are you LBMA members?
No. When a bar is from an LBMA-accredited refiner, we name that refiner. Claiming membership we do not have would end the conversation with any serious desk.
What is the minimum?
Retail from 1 g, sensible from 1 oz. Wholesale conversation from 1 kg fine gold.
Can I store instead of taking delivery?
Yes. Allocated storage at 0.15%/year on gold after KYC. First 90 days free on new lots.
Can I sell back?
Yes, on recognised products. Bid is below ask. We state the spread before you ship.
