Transactions are all recorded in a passbook and no real physical delivery of gold takes place. However, if the customer wishes, the gold savings can be transformed into physical gold, by paying a small premium, or cash when desired.
Administrative charges are as little as S$2.00 monthly or 1/4% per annum, whichever is higher.
If you find physical gold investment inconvenient owing to storage and portability problems, consider investing in the UOB Gold Certificate.
