About GoldCore
GoldCore is a precious metals dealer founded in Dublin in 2003 and run by Goldcore Limited (Irish company 377252, registered in the UK as overseas company FC028448), with an office in London. It sells physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium bars and coins at a quoted dealing price that includes a spread over the market price. Clients can keep metal in allocated, segregated storage in their own name, in vaults in several countries including the UK, or take delivery. To sell, clients sell back to GoldCore at its quoted buy-back price; there is no market between clients. As of September 2026, storage costs 1% a year for gold, platinum and palladium holdings under $100,000, falling to 0.49% above $750,000 (silver 1%, falling to 0.75%), with separate delivery and administration charges. There is no stated minimum for one-off purchases; the GoldSaver monthly plan starts at $100, €100 or £100. In September 2026 GoldCore reported more than 15,000 clients and over $500 million in assets under management and storage. Its wealth management business was regulated in Ireland from 2005 until it gave up that status in July 2018. Dealing in physical bullion is not a regulated investment activity, so holdings are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and there is no recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
