Can do banks sell Gold Bars?

Can you Buy Gold Bars from a Bank? It's infrequent that a bank will offer the sale of gold bars. Gold coins are a more common form of gold that banks sell, and even the number of banks that sell gold coins is limited. Most banks that sell even gold coins won't openly advertise their sales for security reasons.

Gold is a good way to ensure wealth preservation and for passing wealth from one generation to the next. Once you've got some gold bullion in your portfolio, then other investments such as mining shares, investment funds and other more speculative gold investments can be considered.

Buying shares of gold in funds, especially exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs), is a safe and productive way of getting involved with gold. Fees are low and there's plenty of liquidity with gold funds, so you can easily sell your shares whenever you want.

Although the price of gold can be volatile in the short term, it has always maintained its value over the long term. Through the years, it has served as a hedge against inflation and the erosion of major currencies, and thus is an investment well worth considering.
