Storage Fees

Noble Gold offers secure storage for precious metals in a storage facility located in Texas. The company charges based on the total value stored and has three different options: Standard, Maximum and Eliminated.

• Standard Storage Fees
  • The standard storage fee is 0.20% per year, billed monthly. This option is good for customers who want to keep their metals on hand but do not intend to access them frequently or currently have less than $50,000 worth of metals stored with Noble Gold.
• Maximum Storage Fees
  • The maximum storage fee is 0.10% per year, billed quarterly. This option is best suited for customers who plan to take physical delivery of the metals more often or have more than $50,000 worth of precious metals stored with Noble Gold at any given time. It also provides customers with access to secured deposit boxes in some locations that are cost effective on a case-by-case basis.
• Eliminated Storage Fees
  • The eliminated storage fee is available for those customers who make regular purchases of more than $100,000 or retain at least 50% liquidity in their account with Noble Gold over an extended period of time (defined as 12 consecutive months). Customers meeting this criteria will be eligible to no longer pay any annual storage fees related to their holdings at Noble Gold’s Texas facility while maintaining all other services they currently receive from the company free of charge still apply and are subject to future change or termination by Noble Gold at its discretion.

Buy/Sell Fees

Noble Gold charges Buy/Sell fees on all precious metals purchases and sales. The fee amount is dependent on the type of gold or silver purchased. Gold coins range from 0.8% – 1.5%, while standardized gold bars have a 1% fee rate. Silver coins also have a 0.8% fee whereas silver bars have 1%. Additionally, Noble Gold may be subject to additional costs from vendors and storage partners, which can impact the total cost of purchasing or selling precious metals.

It is important to educate yourself about buy/sell fees prior to investing in any form of gold or silver, as understanding the associated costs is an essential part of wise and informed investing decisions.

Types of Accounts

Noble Gold offers a variety of accounts to help customers diversify their investments. The types of accounts include IRA accounts, Solo 401(k) accounts, and precious metals accounts. Each account comes with its own range of fees and benefits, and the selection of an account can depend on the customer’s investment goals.

This section will cover the details of the accounts and their associated fees:

IRA Accounts

IRA accounts are retirement savings accounts. Noble Gold offers two IRA options—a Self-Directed IRA and a Precious Metals IRA. Our Self-Directed IRAs give you the ability to purchase any investment that is offered by the Internal Revenue Service, including gold, silver and other precious metals.

With our Precious Metals IRA, you can purchase gold coins, silver bullion or other approved platinum or palladium metals from the government’s list of authorized dealers or from Noble Gold.

For customers looking to open a new Self-Directed IRA account, Noble Gold charges a one-time setup fee that includes our routine administration fees for opening an account along with costs for custodian setup and storage at an IRS approved depository. There is also an annual fee that covers storage and insurance for your investments along with other operational costs and standard maintenance of your account.

Precious Metals IRAs are also subject to quarterly fees charged on all stored metals in the form of management charges or storage fee protection plans offered by physical depository companies that hold your tokens on their premises (if applicable). Please review our documents page for more information about the fees associated with each type of account offered by Noble Gold.

Non-IRA Accounts

Noble Gold offers non-IRA accounts with no minimum initial deposit requirements and no storage fees for the first year. You can use these to store gold, silver and other precious metals in physical form.

These accounts are a great way to store precious metals for any purpose that is not intended to be held in an IRA. Whether you plan to use your funds as a retirement savings vehicle, or just want more control over where your money goes, Noble Gold’s non-IRA option is a popular choice. Depending on the specific type of account you choose, different buying commissions, shipping and insurance fees may apply.

Here you will find information about the three main types of non-IRA accounts offered by Noble Gold:

• Personal Account: Offers individuals the ability to purchase and own their own physical gold and silver; metallic ownership is outside of custodial control with no third parties involved. Special terms may apply for large deposits or purchases.

You can also pay the fees with personal checks or bank-issued checks, as well as with ETF investments or money orders. Fees will vary based on your payment method, but Noble Gold does have some of the lowest prices in the gold industry.

In this article, we will go over all the payment options available for Noble Gold fees:

• Cash
• Wire

• Money Orders

ACH/Wire Transfer

At Noble Gold, we accept payment for purchases by ACH/Wire Transfer. ACH/Wire Transfers are the most popular form of payment for precious metals and come with some advantages.

• Free or discounted fees – Banks and select online payment services provide a flat fee per transaction or minimal commission percentages on transfers making it a good choice if you’re looking to make large payments.
• Instantaneous posting – Transfer payments tend to post instantaneously as long as both parties have set up their banking accounts correctly, often within a single business day – providing customers with an excellent window of time in which to ensure successful completion of the transaction.
• Secure payments – Transfer payments can serve as very secure options when constructing your payment plan since they typically involve banking protocol that create layers of security that mitigate fraud and bad actors.

Check/Money Order

A check or money order is a simple, traditional form of payment. It allows the customer to pay for goods or services with a physical item instead of using an electronic form of payment. Checks and money orders are used to make payments at most businesses, both online and in-store.

When paying with a check or money order, it is important that the customer fill out the check or money order correctly in order to ensure that it is valid and accepted. Customers should pay close attention to the information they provide when filling out the payment documents, including their name and account information. When filling out a check, customers should make sure there are enough funds in their account to cover the total amount due on the check – otherwise it could be returned for insufficient funds. With money orders, customers should keep track of the receipt until they receive confirmation from their vendor or retailer that their payment was received and processed successfully.

Check/money order payments for online purchases can take several days for processing and completion – sometimes as long as 10 working days – as compared to almost instant processing time with credit cards or e-wallets like PayPal. It is also important to note that checks/money orders will require additional verification over other forms of payment, such as providing identification documents when sending by mail.

Credit/Debit Card

Noble Gold allows customers to easily purchase products with credit/debit cards. The company accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover. Credit/debit card fees are applied on the way in based on the type of product ordered:

• Gold and silver bullion orders over $2,000 do not incur any card fee.
• All other gold and silver bullion orders have a 4% card fee applied.
• Any numismatics orders automatically have a 6% card fee added to their invoice.
• Generic rounds have no additional charge.

In addition, Noble Gold also accepts bank wires and ACH transfers (both at no additional charge) as well as personal checks in the USPS mail (where amounts of $2,000 or less will step into 3% check processing).
