Where to go for gold investment at Malaysia? Buy gold from Public Bank or Maybank? Which Bank offers cheaper rate of charges or fees? Do you feel comfortable by investing your money in gold investment through a savings passbook account instead of physical gold?
Basically, there are only two local banks (Maybank and Public Bank) are offering for gold investment using passbook savings account concept. It means a passbook will be given to the gold investors and every purchase or sale order will be recorded in the passbook. It is just functions exactly same like your conventional passbook savings account. Every transaction of either bank in or withdrawal of your money from the savings account will be recorded in the passbook.

Gold Savings Passbook Account (GSPA) VS Gold Investment Account (GIA)
Based on the comparison shown on above table, there are not much of different. Therefore, we should go further analysis on their charges to get clearer picture on which bank offers lower charges rates.
*Service Fee of Maybank GSPA failed to be found out through their website and phone enquiry. I dont see any related information in www.maybank2u.com.my and none of their 24 hour service number as stated in ATM card and Credit Card functioning! Just in case you lost your ATM card or credit card and would like to do the termination of the cards to avoid any embezzlement, can you imaging what happen if you are unable to contact their service department to do so? So sorry, i decided to give up to find out the answer. I need a user friendly website!!!

Public Bank – Gold Investment Account
Selling Price (RM/gram): 106.28
Buying Price (RM/gram): 102.12

From the figures shown on above, obviously it has shown which bank is charging higher rate. So I assume you know what to do and which bank to go for gold investment in future.

now minimum initial saving gold for Maybank 5g
Horlic Lim, I’m not so understand the comparison. Which Bank is better for Gold Investment? Public Bank or Maybank?
http://www.matjoe.com/2010/04/gold-investment-account-from-public.html
u compare those 2 of couse Public prevail, but in 2011, uob are the best, only rm2 different per gram
sory..im newbie to Gold Investment.i dont undestnd,why smaller difference btw selling n buying i better?
Mirai.. let’s take his Maybank info as an example.
Selling Price (RM/gram): 109.29
Buying Price (RM/gram): 101.30
You walk up to the counter and say you want to buy 1 gram. The bank “sell” to you for 109.29. You walk out of the bankc and change your mind and decide to sell it back. The teller will say ok… here is 101.30 for that gold I just sold you. You just lost 8 bucks.
To breakeven, you would have to wait for it to go up 8 ringgit and profit only thereafter. Hence why I think HorlicLim would love smaller differences.
Update…
Lately,Maybank Selling price – buying price is within RM5. And initial account is starting from 5g. Also need to pay RM10 for Stamp fee at initial account.
Kindly see myblog>

Salam semua,
Masyarakat Malaysia yang berminat dengan pelaburan/simpanan emas dinasihatkan pilih salah satu dari alternatif ini , risiko yang perlu difikirkan risiko harga emas itu sahaja..
1. Gold Savings Passbook Account (GSPA) / Kijangmas – Maybank
2. Gold Investment Account (GIA) – Public Bank
3. Gold Account-i – Kuwait Finance House ( Malaysia ) Berhad- Institusi Kewangan Islam
ketiga-tiga pilihan di atas lebih selamat , diluluskan Bank Negara Malaysia..
namun pada saya pilihan ke-3 lebih dekat ,
- lebih tenang untuk Muslim – 100% berlandas syariah : produk & Institusinya
- konsepnya lebih transparent , jika penyimpan mahukan emas dalam bentuk fizikal , bank berikan fizikal , 2 pilihan simpan emas di bank / bawa balik emas .
- tiada sebarang caj perkhidmatan / lain caj, transaksi berdasarkan harga jual / harga beli.
- minimum 10gr , sila ke http://www.kfhonline.com.my untuk maklumat lanjut..:)
kekurangan kepada pilihan ke3 , jika hendak membuka akaun cawangan Kuwait Finance House cuma ada 7 di Malaysia – KL- Etiqa Tower ( belakang KLCC ) & Pavilion , Klang , Shah Alam , Penang , Kuching & Johor Bahru – saya bernasib baik tinggal di JB ..:)
selamat menyimpan muslimin & muslimat sekalian,
harapnya ini membantu kepada yang ingin mula melabur/menyimpan emas ,

Anyone frm JB wish to knw more abt Gold Account can jus leave me a msg.
I m new in this gold investment. I think it’s better buy from the bank than others, no security if invest in private sector.
What is all this about, like barter system ?
i bought some gold coins (1 oz, 1/2 oz) from Public banks & some from poh kong few years ago & would like to sell off for cash (but no certificate cos last time sharing with friends to buy from the bank… they give one receipt only), hope someone can advise whether to keep it for better or sell off now is better ?
if sell of, is the bank can accept back ?
Extract from PBB on GIA
“WARNING
THE RETURNS ON GOLD INVESTMENT ACCOUNT ARE SUBJECT TO THE GOLD PRICE FLUCTUATIONS. THE CUSTOMER IS REMINDED THAT THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INSURED BY PERBADANAN INSURANS DEPOSIT MALAYSIA.”
if it is good to invest in gold why it is Not insured by PBDM?
kindly advise.
Hi, Im new and interested in Gold Investment. I have a question that have been in my mind for quite sometime (sorry if it is a dumb question)
Below are an example of price(RM) according to the dates:
6 August 2010 123.55 118.54
14 September 2010 127.11 121.97
23 September 2010 131.00 125.73
Here’s the situation. If on 6 August 2010 i bought 5grams at RM123.55 and bought another 5grams on 14 September 2010 at RM127.11… And I decided to sell 5grams of gold on 23 September 2010 for RM125.73..
Question: Which 5gram of Gold that I bought will be sold to the bank? 6 August 2010 or 14 September 2010? The bank decides or we as investor decides?
No matter which one..they will follow the current price of your 5 gram of gold..
gold hitting an all time high,but seriously how good is gold as an investment,I mean say you buy at 125/ g and then sell it at the current price of say 132/g thats like (7/125)
5.6% in a year…i mean you could easily put in ASB and get about 8% or more if u put in unit trust
Gold is always the universal currency..past 5 years it rose by 198%..KFH start with RM118/grm in April and now dah RM140.35…go to my fb Taib Kipli and pick up some article there…the sentiment is toward RM200/gram by the year end…please follow up closely the USD or US economy..its cloudy now..thats why gold price flyhigh this week.
Heh, if u buy gold from Bank sure got charges… Bank want to make $$$$$lah. Always got a hidden charges that public don’t know.
If u interested to invest in Gold without any charges, simple way of monitoring, no tight up of duration and simple way of managing your own gold investment….I can help u…with return permonth Not Less that 2%…. In 1 year your return, more than 10%/year…
e-mail me at: anna.gjr@gmail.com
so,after all of the conversations, which one is it the best, i buy and keep the gold or buy by using any of the banks??when is it the price of gold will decrease? if we look from 70′s to 2010, the chart showed that the peak is at the highest at the moment, and for me i think, at this moment, there is unsuitable to buy gold,right? we will wait until the price is decrease,isn’t?someone, please give comment.thax.
Firstly, many thanks to Horlic Lim and other contributors for the useful information. As a layman I would go for a gold account with a trusted bank like Public Bank, more because of the lower charges (buy/sell) difference for the gold account. Even then I would not put my money in anything other than an FD until after I have acquired the necessary knowledge, tools and skills to be an investor. Of course, you can learn it the hard way… if you think there is easy way
Guys,
I guess recently, just recently Oct 2010. US is printing money by breaking the rules of currency. I guess this is park of strategy for China currency manipulation. Also, US has over spend and did not really earn enough money to pay the bill, hence printing the money legally like any mafia do.
US is printing then why not europe, UK, everyone is joining … if u are not printing. Ur currency is going up. and your people salary is expensive, factory will go back to US… my guess
If this is happening, the value of money in paper will be going depreciated. What happen next is inflation.
One of my friend told me, China is going smarter, to buy resource like GOLD to preserve the money value. Properties is another resource… commodities, palm oil… ect..
Dear Friends, Gold investment is one of the best indeed. My advise to all of you who have invested and those who wants to get started, DO NOT go for short term. Go for long term instead. I’ll show you how Gold Investment is much better than investing in buildings. For free consultation ravinxln@gmail.com. Trading & Investment Advisor
Dear Trevor, US printing money is a different ball game and got nothing to do with breaking the rules.
Dear Ese,You may have to wait forever for the price to decrease. yes yu still can buy now, its not too late. As I said go for long term. You will never loose in Gold. mail me if you need clarification.
Hi Ese,
Its the right time to buy now because the price has been self-correcting and the primary trend is up. What it means is any hope of it going down has already happened as activities such as profit-taking has already completed. Yet the gold and silver continues going up, mainly because of inflationary fears. The QE2 is another factor which will push investors towards safety with hard assets like gold and silver. When the market is on an upward trend, anytime will be a good time to go in because when you decide to sell the price will be higher than when you bought it. But always remember to use only money which you do not need to sustain your daily life.
Gold investment is good provided you are able to hold when the price is down. It does not provides regular income like other investment.u will make profit when you buy at low price and sell at a higher price. Who can guarantee that the price is always going up?
what are the difference between phsyical gold investment and bank saving gold investment? Is it better to hold gold in phsyical as compared to a gold saving account in bank? Which one gives a higher return and is there any hidden charges from both. If it is phsyical gold where is safe for us to keep it? Is it ok to keep in safe deposit box in a bank and what is the charges?
Hi,
I am a new investor and plan to open a gold investment account.
I have compared the gold price between Maybank, Public bank and UOB bank(New).
I found UOB bank offer smallest price difference(selling RM138.40 – buying RM136.40) which is only RM2 or 1.4%.
I called UOB today and they told me their gold price difference is RM2
Based on above findings, can i say that UOB is the best option and i should put my money there
Can anyone give comment.
Thank
Thanks CJ, i just realised that UOB also offers gold investment, and it offers smallest price differences compared to maybank, public bank and KFH. Best deal perhaps, and the gold price is going down this month, perhaps will go up again this february (due to CNY).
Thanks all for the info!
I have planned to go for tis Gold Investment legally with either Public Bank or Maybank as its nearer for me. However i have doubts on other Gold Investments offered currently which is Public Gold…I am sure Public Gold has no direct link with any one of the banks stated.I am worried if my friends who have already invested in Public Gold will not get long term profit as promised…and it’s more likely a system where u need to find more investors in order to get more profit whereas thru bank..i dont have to take the trouble thinking how to grow my money….What say u? For me…i definetely will go for GIA Public Bank….
Hi CJ, choose the one that offer smallest price difference, this is because the ‘different’ is the bank charges. as UOB bank offer smallest price difference, UOB is the best deal.
Thanks Jochea, I bought some last week, about RM140/gram, today price is RM142.80. Luckly the difference price is small, therefore consider make money.
Plan to buy in more this few day, but not sure if Korea war will affect gold price.
Anybody can advise the impact of the war on gold price
Historically, when government running budget deficit gold price will surge. Because government normally will loosen monetary policy to pay off the gap that lead to inflation later. It happened in 1979 and now we’re moving into one very likely.
of course war will increase gold price. but if take recent history as a gauge, normally government will first confiscate our golds and replace with paper money or war bond. US happened before and China as well. so, the old people of storing physical gold has its wisdom.
Thanks for the info, very useful for a starter like me. So which is better, without considering accessibility to the bank, KFH or Public?
Hi Hana, I will prefer Public, anytime.
Total agreed. Apart from reasonable cost, PBB has a reliable supplier.
hi..i like to invest in gold investment… the conclusion?? Public, Maybank, UOB??…which is better??
My take will be the margin the bank earn. Anything below 5% will be reasonable. Also take into account their maintenance cost.
there are 2 way of gold investment..either going for physical gold or open a gold saving accounts. if i’m not mistaken, only 3 bank which offer gold saving account: public bank, maybank & KFH (i heard citibank also offer gold acc but not i’m not sure). however, only KFH and maybank can withdraw the real gold (physical)..meanwhile for public bank, u can’t withdraw the gold. But the concern here is, if public bank goes to bankrupt, your ‘gold’ will be gone since gold account was not insured by PDIM..
(correct me if i’m wrong)
Hi guys,
I just gave a call to Maybank, accoding to them all deposits with Maybank, including the Gold Savings is insured by PIDM. PB Gold of KFH Gold account is not insured by PIDM.
I’m not sure how bad this could effect us (investors) in the long run. If anyone else here, perhaps Horlic Lim could advise us here
Btw, Horlic, may I know why do you choose Public Bank over Maybank?
* Thank you very much for all the information you share with others. Kudos to you!
hey my fellow investors thanks for the information was very helpful…..jus a benefit of a doubt so if i hav a gold passbook account instead of a “physical” gold in maybank,and lets say if maybank goes into bankruptcy will i be insured by PIDM? hence my gold savings are save …….correct me if im wrong
secondly if i were to open a safe deposit in maybank to store my gold bar how muc will the charges be in maybank…really appreciate the info thanks
heard gold price will go down this month ..good time to buy anyone can help where i can get the trend mark for last yr .
Haslinda, gold price going to drop this month? According to my friend in jewelery industry, Chinese New Year is one of the peak season for gold market.
better u buy now gold. Gold prices is down. u can buy at public gold or kuwait bank.
anyone can tell me how to buy an d how to sell th gold..i’m also intrest..but need advised.
Hi everyone..
For me I prefer with physical gold instead of “paper” gold..Why?Because if u have physical gold in your hand & in the same time u need urgent cash just go to Agrobank and pawn it and u will get solid cash (60% from total of your gold). The best thing is ur gold still belong to you..But for GIA, GSPA etc u cannot pawn it unless u sell ur gold to the bank..Physical gold like Pamp Suisse,Kijang Emas,Canada Maple,Public Gold etc are hot item so u guys dont have to wori…
If u guys just started buy physical gold then u have to be creative where do you want to keep it safe..Or u can keep it at “safety box” at any bank and of course there will be a fee for u to pay..
Just sharing with u guys & correct me if im wrong..
gold price will be a bit down before cny then shoot up again, i confirm ..went to gold shop too ..said the same thing ..abt 5.00 down but later go up..if u see the trend of gold same before cny a bit down then up..
Mr. Horlic..How about UOB GIA…
Rosan, please refer to my latest post on the UOB Gold Investment Accounts.
Dear All,
Just wondering, which is which,,,what comes to my mind was…selling/buying gold through Gold Investment Account is much better rather than Physical Gold. For example if we have Physical Gold to be sell,,,what I understand,,we will loose of minimum 20% from the current market price,,instead should we make our transaction through our account book, there will be less than 5-6% lost only. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Penangite.
Kuala Selangor.
anyone here can open one conference room or something like that to update us when to buy when to sell..special for gold investors.
ok , fri thanks , just u say i like it . i want to know u .u add my id ok fri , thanks .
Hi It depends what type of gold you plan to invest in. Some prefer gold bars(physical gold) while other prefer paper gold (like maybank, PB). In physical gold. Investors should buy 999 gold bars instead of jewelery gold cause you will lose 20% to 30% when you sell . In most jewellery shop in Malaysia they will sell you gold bar which have been marked up from the world market price. Investor have to search for gold traders who will sell at close to world market price. You can get a rough estimate of current price in RM at http://www.malaysiangold.blogspot.com . Here you can compare with the price quoted by jewelery shops like Poh Kong or Habib jewels.
I like this site where people can share on investment information.
there’s another good place to invest in previous metals, PAMP. I have nothing to do with it but just a customer.
Recently, they introduce silver product, which I think has much more potential nowadays than gold.
What i like most about the PAMP is they take very reasonable margin compare to other greedy traders. Minor drawback, of course you cannot buy smaller quantity like 5gm gold like with PBB or MBB. All purchase in physical form, must be very careful to store.
I would like to share my view on gold price. Many people say gold is near its bubble, but my finding provide different angle.
US and China recent 3 years has increased its money supply by 40% that leads to commodities price escalation. But gold seem not that bullish compare to say cotton or wheat, that’s why people start talking about gold bubble.
Few points to counter this view:
US/EU bailout create massive money supple to world. Asian countries has to print as well in order to maintain its currency exchange rate with USD. Now, we’re entering into inflationary era, just entering.
1. China bough 50 tonnes in 2009, and four times more in 2010 and double 2010 amount up to Feb 2011.
2. China gold extraction already exceeded the world largest gold producer, South Africa about 5 years ago and all, I say again ALL OF IT is keep in solely in China soil.
3. China opened 2 off-shore trading centers (HK and US) for Yuan trading end of 2010. Point 1 to 3, clearly China is laying its path to move away from US peg and prepare for Yuan floating in near future.
4. India also increase its gold reserve as crazily as China.
5.US, the largest gold reserve 8000++ tonnes has made it illegal for the congress to audit its stock since 40 years ago. FED allow gold
renting to JP Morgan for trading purpose (manipulation?). No one knows how many gold US is actually holding. Maybe more, maybe less. But, bet on less because only with dumping supply, gold price can be suppressed.
6. Germany already said can no longer able to bailout Spain and Portugal few weeks ago, and the hot potatos was passing to China in large part and Japan. Of course with a price, 1) Germany certain high tech factory to be set up as a swap or 2) China to buy the Spain and Portugal reserved gold at a discounted. (no one know what EU has chosen)
7) China has asked in 2010 to IMF to release its gold reserve to sell to China. But US/EU rejected it up-right.
Thus, Gold may be more sought after than ever before. but, every investment have its risk. It will be very volatile because big gold reserve countries US/EU and IMF will do whatever it could to suppress the gold price in order to give its signal to world that their bailout plan works which is very doubtful indeed.
hye..i like dis site very much..
thanks for all useful info..

Salam sejahtera semua,
Sy adalah salah seorang pembeli emas di KFH, pada tahun lepas sewaktu mereka mengadakan promosi contest you buy RM3,000 will enable you to participate in our 1kg Gold discovery campaign. I bought for almost 15K. At the time of buying(which I could say they selling to us) is RM136.72 per gram. Now almost 6 month already and I couldn’t see the price of selling back the gold (or kita tengok kat portion buy kat bank tuh) increase… Means sy rugi besar kalau nak jual emas itu sekarang nie….
Untuk semua pembeli emas…. mana-mana pun kalau nak invest emas boleh tapi kenalah jangkamasa yang panjang mungkin 5 ker 10 tahun baru boleh dapat untung banyak !!!…. Wa..wa..wa (x dapat nak kuarkan duit tuh lagi sehingga mencapai sasarannya)…… Buy masih static atau kurang sedikit RM135.90

Hi all, I’m new in this. I bought from Maybank and now the price uo to RM150.I’m thinking of buying more…I need advice. Should I change to Public Bank if the different between selling and buying is less? Now is good time to pump in again?
Why woudl anyone trust a bank to hold their gold in a passbook account?
If the bank goes belly up and it comes to crunch time how are you going to say to a creditor Oh! that peice of gold in the vault is mine its got my name on it..Think again, it goes in a pool and its not safe as if the creditors come in they take the lot and you will only get a small percentage of your money back..that is because none of the gold has your name on it. You are better off investing your money elsewhere ie the Stock market or an overseas bank that pays high interest rates.
Hi All, I am working with Al-Rajhibank,Anyone interested to buy physical gold please call me-019262 0483.worth buying!purity 999.99!
Dear Sifu-s,
I’m interested to invest in gold. I was thinking to go for Gold passbook account instaed of physical gold because of safty reason.
So after reading all the comments/advice above, can I conclude UOB is the best amongst other banks? Kindly advise…
Thanks & regards
I believe both gold accounts are NOT guaranteed by PIDM.
This text is for Public Bank. Please up date your info which was done in 2009!! Surely from then till now, there are new products or info. Also, there are plenty of English mistakes. I dont expect a big bank like yours to have such problem.
Gold Saving Account:
1. There is the selling and buying price and they should not be too far off the spot price. The spread shall not be to wide. The spot price is for gold of 99.99 purity.
2. Any buying and selling charges/taxes must be clarified. Be very averse to hidden cost.
3. Investment in bank gold:- Whether the gold is allocated or not? Allocated means your investment is backed by physical gold and you can withdraw physical GOLD. It is very unlikely that all gold savings are backed 100% by physical gold. Should the bank go bust, you will not get back your full investment.
4. Gold investment in bank is not guaranteed by Bank Negara and if the bank go bust, you may get nothing back.
Pysical Gold:
1. Again the buying and selling price should not be too far off spot price.
2. Any buying and selling charges/taxes must be clarified.
3. Ensure you buy from reputable seller or you may get fools gold. I doubt there is any equipment that can measure the gold content of the who piece but only the surface.
4.Ease or guarantee sell back when you need to divest.
5. Safe keeping or you lose everything.
Best option is still to spread your investment.
Do also look at silver investment.

I believe gold is the best investment at the moment. this is because of the total debt US has is at astronomical levels. There are many was to invest in gold. I personal prefer physical gold because any paper gold investment is not 100% guaranteed.Buying physical gold can be complicated at times because we have to buy close to the world spot price as possible. Gold shop usually mark up gold price by 15% to 25%. There are a few places you can compare gold price in Malaysia like Nubex, Public Gold. I personally prefer http://www.malaysiangold.blogspot.com as the price is usually low. Sometimes certain jewelery shop will sell their gold at low price because they have excessive stock on that day. I think the most important is to research the lowest price and smallest margin before purchasing physical gold.Of course if u research too long the prices might have just shoot up.
Dear All,
I am interest in Gold Investment.. It is now the right time to invest in Gold? The gold price seem expensive..
UOB has the smallest difference other banks, it mean the best choice would be UOB? Kindly advise…
Thanks.
thanks for having this forum for ppl of the same interest to share/enquire about gold……personally, i have monitoring the gold prices and also articles and strongly suggest ppl out there that wishes to invest in gold to start immediately……friends that work in poh kong, tomei and as personal jeweler have informed (dont know how true) that price of gold (999.9) will increase to USD 2,500 / ounce slightly after chinese new year…..further more, reputable reading materials has also published that world gold price will hit USD 5,000 / ounce in the next 2 to 3 years…

Suitable to buy gold at this moment? Price RM170++
i wish to know as well… Can anybody give so advise and suggestion.. Thanks.
yah im hoping for anw as well…..juz waitin for the gold price to drop a little bit more..heard in this week it may drop…
Let me add my 2c. Physical gold has risk too. Carrying around or keeping several thousand worth of gold, you can be robbed. Robbers are very thorough.
Selling physical gold to goldsmith is not that easy because they can get it at lower rate than market. If you plan to sell to them, be prepared for a cut.
Another alternative investment is exploiting gold tailings. I’m getting US$90 everyday for 130 days for an investment of US$5,000. That’s 1.8% per day, or 234% for 130 days. ROI in 56 days. I can withdraw everyday – thus minimizing my risk daily. High returns, and risk is reduced on a daily basis.

What is that? Can u share more info since passive income on daily basis. I’m new in this
i think the one in london is better as they don’t report your gold to any authority in the world, no tax on gold in london and they are big member of london bullion market and partner of the world gold council you can get your gold spot price.

Your updates here is much appreciated! TQ for sharing with us! Wish more and more people make more money from gold investment!
Oyabin, if you are comparing GIA and GSPA, i prefer Public Bank’s Gold Investment Account because of its smaller difference between selling and buying prices.
hey my fellow investors thanks for the information was very helpful…..jus a benefit of a doubt so if i hav a gold passbook account instead of a “physical” gold in maybank,and lets say if maybank goes into bankruptcy will i be insured by PIDM? hence my gold savings are save …….correct me if im wrong
secondly if i were to open a safe deposit in maybank to store my gold bar how muc will the charges be in maybank…really appreciate the info thanks
The gold savings with Maybank is not insured with PIDM. Read the disclaimer in Maybank2u.com.
There is always risk to any investment. But counting on the probability on the bank being robbed, the chance is low.
What is the difference in risk between the gold savings and physical gold being kept in safe if bank is robbed? Almost same risk right?
