Buy Gold Bars

For centuries, gold has been used as a way to preserve wealth. It is often considered a relatively defensive asset, having historically maintained its value over longer time horizons.

Rush provides a digital platform to access gold — enabling customers to buy, sell, transfer, gift, and spend from their gold holdings through a single app.

If you’re looking to buy gold, it’s important to understand both the product and the provider.

‘Bullion’ refers to precious metals of high purity. For gold to be classified as bullion, it is typically at least 99.95% to 99.99% pure.

Gold bullion is available in a range of forms, including bars and coins, and is sold by weight, such as grams or troy ounces.

Rush offers a modern way to access gold in Australia, with no minimum purchase requirements and the ability to transact in amounts that suit different portfolio sizes.

Is it safe to buy gold bars online?

Buying gold online can be reliable when using an established provider with transparent sourcing, storage and audit practices.

Confidence in your purchase comes from working with a reputable company.

Rush provides investment-grade gold bullion (99.99% purity), sourced from refiners accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).

Gold is insured through policies arranged with Lloyd’s of London against risks such as damage or theft and is independently audited by Bureau Veritas.

When you buy gold through Rush, transactions are completed digitally while holdings are maintained in physical bullion stored in secure Australian vault facilities.

Through the app, you can access and manage your gold holdings and monitor price movements over time.

What are the benefits of buying gold?

If you’re looking to protect and diversify your portfolio, you may have come across gold as a commonly referenced asset.

For centuries, gold has been widely used and traded globally. It is held by central banks and investors and is often considered as part of a diversified portfolio. Gold prices can behave differently to other assets, particularly during periods of economic or currency volatility.

There are two primary ways to access gold:

• Physical gold, such as bars or coins
• Financial instruments, such as futures contracts or exchange-traded funds (ETFs)

Gold futures are contracts to buy or sell gold at a future date at an agreed price and are typically used by traders who actively manage market exposure.

ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to gold through a traded instrument. In these structures, investors hold units in a fund rather than physical bullion, and outcomes may be influenced by the structure of the product and its underlying assets.

Physical gold provides access to a tangible asset and is often considered as part of a long-term portfolio. It does not depend on the performance of a single issuer and can be held outside traditional financial account structures.

Gold is also commonly included in Self-Managed Super Funds (SMSFs) and broader portfolios as a way to diversify asset exposure. Unlike some financial products, physical gold can be accessed without using a brokerage account.

Through Rush, gold can be accessed digitally while being maintained in physical bullion. Storage and insurance are handled within the platform, with metal stored in secure vault facilities operated by Brink’s and independently audited to recognised standards.

You can buy, sell, transfer, or spend from your gold holdings through the app.
