GoldSilver Central relaunches GSC Live! with a new, updated, and comprehensive interface for an enhanced trading experience
GoldSilver Central (GSC), a leading precious metals dealer in Singapore, has announced the relaunch of their GSC Live! apps with an updated and comprehensive interface. The new platform provides the ultimate combination of accessibility and convenience for customers to purchase and sell physical Gold, Silver, and Platinum online in SGD or USD based on current spot prices.
The GSC Live! platform allows customers to take advantage of favourable fluctuations in precious metals prices outside of Singapore time zone and into the London and New York trading hours. With GSC Live!, customers can trade precious metals at real-time spot prices with narrow spreads.
The minimum contract size in ounces for Gold and Platinum is 0.1oz, while for Silver, investors can buy as little as 5oz. One of the key advantages of GSC Live! is that customers are given the flexible option to accumulate their purchases over time at their desired entry prices. For example, if a client wants to purchase 1oz of Gold, he or she can purchase a 0.1oz Gold contract for 10 times at any of their desired price level.
The platform’s purchasers have the option to convert their purchases into physical delivery of London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) accredited bars or coins of their choice. For instance, once a customer accumulates 1oz of Gold, they can request to take physical delivery of a LBMA-accredited bar or coin, such as the Argor-Heraeus Gold Bar 1oz or the Pamp Suisse Lady Fortuna Gold Bar 1oz.
Mr. Brian Lan, Managing Director of GSC said, “The relaunch of our GSC Live! app with an updated and comprehensive interface is a testament to our commitment to providing the best possible trading experience to our customers. GSC Live! offers ease and convenience to the precious metals market, enabling customers to purchase and sell physical Gold, Silver, and Platinum online in SGD or USD based on prevailing spot prices. The platform also offers flexible purchase options and physical delivery of bullion, giving our customers the freedom to accumulate precious metals over time at their desired entry prices. We are confident that the new interface will provide an enhanced user experience, making it easier for our customers to buy, sell and invest in precious metals with us.”

- Kim Gold, with a focus on sustainability, renewability and transparency in pricing, launches her pre-loved jewellery brand.
Kim means Gold in two Chinese dialects, Hakka and Hokkien. Kim’s Chinese name“锦” is often associated with breathtaking sceneries好景(锦)象, bright prospects or glorious future. The “passing” of the pre-loved jewellery to the next owner is a symbolism of passing the beauty of Mother Nature in its current splendour to the next generation so they too can adore her beauty.
Kim Gold believes that sustainable fashion should be an integral part of sustainable living. Simple changes like opting for pre-loved jewellery helps lessen the demand to produce new jewellery. By doing so, this helps to reduce significant environmental implications or negative externalities that is brought about by sourcing or mining for new Gold.
At Kim Gold, jewellery is sold by Gold weight per gram plus a transparent premium (Kim Gold fee). Kim Gold offers this unique transparent pricing model for jewellery, allowing clients to clearly know their metal value and the revenue earned by Kim Gold. This is in line with one of Kim Gold’s mission; ensuring transparency (pricing and processes) and to uphold the value of putting clients at the heart of our business.
For Kim Gold’s launch, 3 featured series will first be introduced: Abacus Series, Wedding Series and Duo Glitter Series. Other exciting jewellery series will be introduced in the next few months.
Stringent processes in ensuring the authenticity and quality including cleaning and disinfecting of Kim Gold’s jewellery are put in place. This provides clients with a piece of mind and confidence in the jewellery pieces they will buy from Kim Gold.
“Kim Gold is a brand GSC created to provide clients with more value for their jewellery and also empower our valued clients in their pursuit of ethical, responsible purchase and sustainable living.” Said Brian Lan, Managing Director of GoldSilver Central.

- GoldSilver Central today announced GSC Savings Accumulation Program (“GSAP”) for physical Gold, Silver and Platinum in Singapore, which taps into the power of the dollar-cost averaging. This development enables investors to diversify into precious metals from as little as SGD 100 per month in regular instalments to their account with GoldSilver Central. With the automatic dollar-cost averaging system, investors can now reduce their risk when participating in the volatile Precious Metals market. For enhanced convenience, investors can have recurring monthly transfers via Fast and Secured Transfers (FAST), cheque or Standing Instructions via GIRO to their GSAP accounts. This program, also commonly known as the “Gold Accumulation Plan” worldwide, existed in Japan since the 1980s and most recently, was made available in China by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC).
- “In line with our vision to make Precious Metals accessible for investors, and keeping in mind the busy schedules of many investors, GSC Savings Accumulation Program is an automatic and easy way of investing in Precious Metals without the worry of timing the markets. Based on data provided by World Gold Council, two-thirds of global gold demand in 2015 was from Asia. Hence, we believe with GSAP, more Asian retail investors will include Precious Metals in their investment portfolio and this program will be a success like how it has been in China and Japan.” said Brian Lan, Managing Director of GoldSilver Central.
- While there are many ways to start investing in precious metals in Singapore, GSAP caters for all retail investors who have the goal of accumulating physical precious metals on a daily basis for a flexible period of time. Investors have the choice to take physical delivery of their metal holdings upon reaching their desired troy ounces or grams. A wide range of physical Gold, Silver or Platinum bullion is available for investors to select and take home from GoldSilver Central. Automatically, account owners will purchase more grams of their desired physical precious metals when prices are lower, and fewer grams when prices are higher. Prices used by the savings accumulation program is based on the GSC 10AM Reference Price which is transparent and readily available to investors.
- GSC Savings Accumulation Program is designed with investors’ interest at heart. This explains the wide range of demographics that this program caters to such as young parents planning for their children’s education and future, young couples planning to save up for betrothal jewelry for their marriage or for seniors planning their retirement.
- “Dollar averaging on daily basis via Precious Metals Accumulation Program is always the most efficient and effective way for retail investors to gain access to physical precious metals. I am happy that GSC is offering this to investors and I am sure it will soon become the most sought after retail precious metals saving products in Singapore and the region judging from my experience in Japan and China” said Albert Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Bullion Market Association and Advisor for the World Gold Council and Shanghai Gold Exchange.
- Based on a recent report released by IE Singapore on Singapore’s position as a Global Precious Metals Trade Hub, Singapore is optimally located and positioned to receive and nurture the growing demand of Precious Metals Investment in Asia. The introduction of GSC Savings Accumulation Program will further strengthen ongoing initiatives by SBMA for the development of a Precious Metals Hub in Singapore.

- The partnerships, inked one week following GoldSilver Central’s induction as an associate corporate member of the Singapore Bullion Market Association (SBMA), are part of the company’s rigorous growth blueprint.
- Brian Lan, Managing Director of GoldSilver Central said, “Our growth blueprint looks into creating a more vibrant bullion market and enriching Singapore’s vision as a precious metals trading hub. Having established our foothold as a trusted bullion dealer, the next step forward is to help our investors seize more opportunities through better understanding and diversification of their investment portfolio to include precious metals.”
THREE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS
- Perth Mint launches its depository online program globally in partnership with GoldSilver Central. The program avails investors with a secure trading platform that facilitates better reaction and connectivity to live pricing of precious metals day and night, 7-days a week. Through this partnership, GoldSilver Central provides investors with the confidence to tap on more innovative bullion storage options, as Perth Mint’s Depository Program is the only Government-Guaranteed storage program in the world.
- Chengdu TianXinYang Gold Industry Co. Limited (TianXinYang), a London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) accredited bullion trading company, appoints GoldSilver Central as the first authorised distributor of its investment bullion products in South East Asia. It is also the sole distributor for TianXinYang’s “GUI” (贵) Certicard range of gold bars in Asia (excluding China, India and Thailand). This significant partnership is TianXinYang’s venture to internationalise its reach beyond the domestic market of China. It affords investors outside China greater access to a wider range of highly sought-after Chinese bullion products, which generally command a higher premium in the market.GoldSilver Central is the sole distributor for Tian Xin Yang’s “贵” hallmark Certicard gold bar in Asia (except China, India and Thailand).
- Austrian Mint makes its platinum bullion debut in Asia with the launch of a new Vienna Philharmonic platinum coin through GoldSilver Central. A move supported by the World Platinum Investment Council, this launch aims to increase platinum investment opportunities in Asia. Produced from 999.5 pure platinum, the coin marks Austrian Mint’s first platinum offering in its 800-year history and features the award-winning design by Austrian Mint head designer Thomas Pesendorfer. Austrian Mint’s Vienna Philharmonic coin is one of the world’s most popular bullion coins. This platinum coin will initially be available in 1 ounce denominations.
- In response to these partnerships, Gina Lim, Group Director, Trade Services & Policy, from International Enterprise Singapore (IE Singapore), said, “Since the lifting of GST on investment grade precious metals in 2012, we have witnessed the entry of many players into Singapore’s bullion market, including traders, storage providers and a world class refinery, Metalor. The SBMA has also grown its membership base as a result. IE Singapore is delighted to support GoldSilver Central’s efforts in promoting precious metals from Singapore and introducing technological innovations for merchants and consumers to easily gain exposure to these instruments.”
ONGOING PROGRAMS AND PIPELINE INTIATIVES
- GoldSilver Central constantly works on delivering valuable programs such as today’s panel discussion, which featured prominent industry leaders sharing their insights to empower investors. A new GoldSilver Central online trading platform is also slated for launch in June 2016. This platform allows trading of physical precious metals including platinum, at real-time spot prices. A preview of its powerful features will be displayed at GoldSilver Central public tradeshow on 2 April 2016 at Marina Bay Convention Centre.
- “GoldSilver Central has grown extensively in less than 5 years. We saw them increasing their investment products and services through development of a robust online retail platform, taking on agency for the Perth Mint Certificate Program (PCMP), and representing the Austrian Mint and TianXinYang. These are amazing achievements. This year, I am happy to see them carrying more branded investment grade products in gold, silver and platinum. This contributes as a building block in SBMA’s focus to make Singapore’s precious metals market more accessible to the public investors,” said Albert Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of SBMA.
- Investors in both the business and retail sectors can expect more initiatives from GoldSilver Central as it continues its growth as the premier one-stop solution for investments in relation to physical precious metals.
