Banks That Sell Gold Bars

Reviewed by the Gold Bar Guide Editorial Team · Updated October 9, 2026

Values on this page use gold spot at $4,197.40/oz · updated October 9, 2026

Quick answer: This is a working list of banks, each row tied to a source and a read date of 2026-10-09. For a reader hoping to buy gold bars from a bank in the US, the list is short and a little disappointing: we found no US bank page offering a gold bar for sale. The clearest sellers we found are in Canada and Europe, and one US online bank, EverBank, sells coins. If you only need to know whether a bar costs more than its gold, the arithmetic is simple: a 1 oz bar is worth about $4,197.40 at today's spot price before a seller adds anything.

How to read this list

Each row has four parts: the bank, what we found, a link to the page we read, and the date we read it. The status chip in the table uses four words, and here is what each means in plain English.

• Sells means the bank's own page offers physical gold for sale to its customers. It does not mean a bar: EverBank, for example, is marked as a seller of coins.
• Stopped means a source tells us the bank left the business. We keep these rows so you do not waste an afternoon on an old web page.
• Not found means we searched the bank's site and found no page offering physical gold. It is a statement about our search, not about the bank's policy.
• Clients only means the product exists but is aimed at a defined group, such as customers who live in a particular country or hold a certain kind of account.

A bank's own page is the best source we can get, because it shows what the bank is willing to say in public. Third-party lists are tempting, but one we came across lists almost every bank as a seller, including some that have closed, so we do not use it. Pages move, so a read date matters more than it seems. If a row is older than you are comfortable with, open the source link and check it.

United States

EverBank. EverBank's coins page is the only US bank offer of physical gold we read. It sells gold, silver, platinum and palladium coins through a coin account, and the page puts the opening deposit at $7,500. It says home delivery is available for a fee. It also describes an unallocated option that holds no physical metal and carries no storage or delivery charges. The page does not mention bars, and it does not mention buying coins back. EverBank advertises its pricing as a markup over its own prices; we print no number for it, because a seller's markup is the item to get in writing at the time you buy. EverBank is an online bank, and we could not confirm which kind of account a new customer needs.

The large banks. We looked at Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Citi and US Bank. Searching the other four banks' sites turned up no page offering physical gold. Chase's site has an article that explains gold to beginners and points readers toward sellers such as US Mint authorized purchasers; we read that as education, not a sale. The honest line for all five is: we looked and found nothing for sale. A branch may know something a website does not.

What CBS says. A CBS News piece dated 2026-10-01 says that some banks in the US sell bars and coins, suggests you ask your local bank, and notes that a bank's stock is limited next to a specialist online dealer. It does not name a bank. We cannot confirm which institutions it has in mind, and we found no credit union or community bank we could verify either.

Where this leaves you. No US bank page we read lists a gold bar for sale. If a local branch does say yes, treat it as a lucky find and use the five questions in our guide asking can you buy gold from a bank. If it says no, the retail warehouse route is the other common one, and the page on Costco gold bars shows what its listings said on 2026-10-09.

Canada

Canada is where the bank counter and the bar meet most often. The main source is the Royal Canadian Mint's guide to buying from a bank, dated October 2024. The guide names four banks that take orders: CIBC across a branch counter, on the web or inside online banking; RBC in its branches; TD on its website, in branches and at its currency-exchange counters; and BMO through its Nesbitt Burns brokerage or its Private Bank, with vault storage included or physical delivery. Scotiabank, the guide adds, quit precious metals in early 2021.

We went on to read two of those banks directly.

CIBC. Its page lists gold bars in 1 oz and 1 kg sizes, silver bars in 10 oz and 100 oz, gold coins from one-tenth of an ounce to a full ounce, a 1 oz silver coin and collector coins. It states no minimum for physical metal. Online purchases are capped at CA$9,500 before tax and shipping in any 24 hours, and larger orders go to a banking centre. You pay from a Canadian-dollar chequing, savings or personal line-of-credit account; US-dollar accounts are accepted in branch only. Delivery to your home or pickup at a branch are both offered. On buying back, the page says CIBC will consider it only with the original receipt, in pristine condition, and only if the bank still sells that product. Collector coins are final sale. The 1 kg size is worth a look in its own right, and the page on the 1 kilo gold bar works through what it weighs and what it is worth at spot.

TD. The TD Canada page says it sells gold, silver and platinum bullion, coins and bars in a range of weights, plus certificates. Online buyers can have it delivered home, to a branch or into TD Secure Storage; you can also buy in a branch or at a TD foreign-exchange centre. In-branch purchases require a TD deposit account in good standing. The page states no minimum, no cap and no buy-back terms, so we make no claim about any of them. This is TD Canada, not TD Bank in the US.

For BMO and RBC we rely on the Mint's page alone, because we did not read their own pages. For Scotiabank, an older page on its site may still describe bullion, so treat it as unavailable and ask.

Europe

European banks treat gold as an ordinary counter product more often than US banks do, but the details differ by country and by customer.

Switzerland. Raiffeisen Switzerland says its customers can buy bars from 1 g up to 1 kg, at the counter or by phone, with either physical delivery or custody, and a certificate with each bar. It also says it will repurchase standard bars at the market price. No minimum or eligibility limit is stated on the page we read. Zürcher Kantonalbank sells small bars, from 1 g to 20 g; you order by phone and collect at a branch. UBS has a gold product called key4 gold, in which you co-own gold held in collective custody and can order physical bars. UBS's page says it is for clients domiciled in Switzerland, not US residents, and mentions purchase limits and charges, which we do not print.

Germany and Austria. Sparkasse in Germany lists bars from about 1 g, which you can buy online or in a branch. Commerzbank sells gold bars and coins, including named bullion coins, but you need a Commerzbank current account. You can buy online, by phone or in a branch. Home delivery is capped per order and carries shipping and handling charges; branch pickup has no cap. Commerzbank also buys back gold bars, silver bars and gold coins from makers on the LBMA list, at a branch, with a current account, ID and an IBAN, and pays the money into your account. Erste Bank and Sparkasse in Austria sell bars and coins by branch appointment rather than from stock. ID is needed to buy and to sell, and above a threshold the bank asks for proof of where the money came from.

We print no euro figures, because we did not confirm them and they change.

Two points apply to every European bank here. First, these services are built around local customers with local accounts, and a US resident should not assume any of them will open an account to sell a bar. Second, a bank that sells bars does not always buy them; see the page on whether banks buy gold bars back before you assume a way out.

The United Kingdom

The Bank of England appears in many searches for bank gold, so it deserves a clear line. Per the sources we read, it acts as a custodian and does not sell to the public. The Royal Mint is a separate body that sells bars directly, from 1 g up to 1 kg. If a UK reader asks about a high-street bank, we found nothing we can quote.

What to ask any bank

Whichever bank you call, ask the same short list, and get the answer in writing.

1. Which bars do you sell, and in what weights and fineness?
2. What is the price over spot in currency terms for the exact bar I would take home?
3. Will you buy the bar back, and under what conditions?
4. How is it delivered, and who insures it on the way?
5. What ID, reporting and account do you require?
6. If you store it for me, what are the yearly charges, and is the metal mine or pooled?

If a bank's answer is that the metal can be kept in a box at the branch, read the page on gold bars in a safe deposit box first, because a box is storage, not insured custody. The guide to where to buy gold bars compares the bank route with the other four.

What we could not confirm

What this can't tell you is whether your branch will sell, so here is where our checking ran out, in plain terms.

• Whether EverBank sells bars, and which account a new customer needs. The coins page we read does not mention bars.
• The current wording on the BMO, RBC and Scotiabank pages. We relied on the Royal Canadian Mint's October 2024 page for these three.
• Any TD buy-back. The page we read states none, so we claim none.
• The exact effect of the CBS statement. We do not know which banks it means, and we found no named institution to back it.
• Anything on credit unions or small community banks in the US. We found none we could confirm.
• Fees, limits and euro amounts at the European banks. We print none.
