What if the gold Bullion was delivered to the wrong address?

We ask that you the client verify the address of the delivery before submitting the purchase order. We are not liable for damage or losses of parcels that arrive at an incorrect address.

Can I cancel an order if I change my mind?

No this is not possible. Once an order is confirmed, you have entered into a contract to either purchase or sell gold.

Does your product come with a certificate?

All our products come with a certificate of authenticity for amounts over 1 gram. The certificate indicates the weight, individual bar numbers if it’s an allocated purchase, and the origin to give you greater transparency towards your purchase.

What is Pool Allocated Gold?

Investment grade gold is typically bought in bar form, with the international standard set at ‘999.5’. This means that physical gold products are 99.95% pure gold. All bullion purchased through us adheres to this standard.

Our Pool Allocated bullion product range is the perfect choice for both new precious metal investors and regular traders. Rather than buying a specific physical bar, investors can buy into an allocated pool of gold. This means we maintain a store of numbered 1kg bars in a segregated pool which backs the amount of gold we hold on behalf of customers. You own a share of this pool of bars, rather than owning specific bars.

One of the chief benefits of pooling gold bars is that customers pay reduced fabrication and storage fees. If required, however, you may pay the balance of the fabrication charge to convert your holdings into finished bullion products for delivery.

You can either buy by dollar value or by weight.

There are a number of key benefits to our Pool Allocated bullion products, including:

  • Gold can be purchased in specific dollar amounts or by weight in grams
  • Zero storage fees
  • Backed by metal (externally audited)
  • Highly liquid and easy to buy or sell

It is important to note that for Pool Allocated Gold legal title to the gold remains in the name of Qoneco Pty Ltd. This means that a customer who purchases and holds Pool Allocated Gold with Qoneco is taking Qoneco Pty Ltd credit risk. Qoneco mitigates this risk by ensuring our gold holdings are verified daily by an independent third party accounting firm and conducting annual financial audits of Qoneco Pty Ltd.

What Bullion bars and coins do you offer?

Where customers want to physically take ownership of bullion bars and coins, we can arrange delivery.

We have a range of different bullion bars. All our bars are supplied brand new direct from reputable refiners and mints.

Gold coins are often treated as a substitute for cast and minted bars by investors looking to buy gold. Bullion coins often have legal tender status, and in some cases they even have preferential tax treatment, though this depends on the coin itself, and the country. They are typically made to a purity of "999.5" or 99.95% pure gold.

Available for investment in small denominations, they are a way for new investors to enter the precious metal market, and also make a fantastic gift for those looking for tangible stores of wealth to give to children and grandchildren.

We are proud to offer a large selection of bullion coins for investment. We offer a range of coins from the Perth Mint, and the Royal Canadian Mint, as well as the world famous Krugerrand, for those who want to invest in the most widely held gold bullion coin on the planet.
