You pay a premium when buying/selling precious metals and there are storage fees.  For buying Gold, the premium is 0.5% of the amount you buy and for selling gold, the premium is 1% of the amount you sell. Insurance and storage premiums are waived for all users when buying the first 20g of gold. For all holdings above this amount you pay our standard fee of 0.0125% per week of the total amount you hold, which is a lot cheaper than the usual amount for storing precious metals in a secure and insured vault. It will be calculated daily and reduced from your respective Metals wallet on a weekly basis (if the wallet balance is 0, no premiums are deducted).
