Silver Gold Bull review: is it a good place to buy gold?

What sets Silver Gold Bull apart from most Canadian dealers is scale and structure. It is not a single shop with a counter: it is an e-commerce business backed by a US-listed parent, with its own storage network and a sell-back system built into the same account. That makes it convenient, but it also means you cannot walk in and compare coins on a counter as you can at some Toronto dealers.

How does Silver Gold Bull score on our checks?

We judge every dealer on the same published criteria, set out in how we review gold dealers. There is no star rating here and no testimonials, only what we could confirm from the company's own policies, its parent company's filings and independent sites.

How much does Silver Gold Bull charge?

Every dealer sells at the spot price of gold in Canadian dollars plus a markup called the premium. Our guide to gold premiums explained covers why coins cost more than bars and small items more than large ones.

We tried to capture Silver Gold Bull's price for a 1 oz Gold Maple Leaf on 11 and 12 October 2026, alongside other Canadian dealers. Its site does not allow automated price checks, so we do not publish a premium for it. Here is what the same coin cost elsewhere, so you have a benchmark to compare against when you open its site:

Prices read automatically from each dealer's product page on 12 October 2026 at about 07:51 UTC. Spot from gold-api.com. A Maple Leaf holds one troy ounce of 99.99% gold, so premium = price / spot - 1. More dated checks on the premium tracker.

How to use this: open the same coin on Silver Gold Bull, take its listed price (which is already the e-Transfer or wire price), divide by the spot price shown at the top of this page and subtract 1. If the result is under about 3.2%, it beats the Canadian PMX figure above; under about 1.8% and it beats the cheapest price we captured. If you plan to pay by card, add roughly 4 points first. Silver Gold Bull also advertises a best price guarantee ("We'll gladly match the competition"), so a lower dated quote from another dealer is worth having to hand.

Payment, shipping and insurance

Silver Gold Bull's payment page is unusually specific. It lists five methods, each with a limit and a clearing time:

Two details matter. First, you must pay within 72 hours of ordering, and the page warns that late e-Transfers can trigger "market loss charges" if the price has moved against the dealer. Second, it says direct deposits or branch-to-branch transfers may be held for 60 days or more before your order ships, so use one of the listed methods.

Shipping is free on orders over $999. Every parcel is fully insured, tracked and needs a signature, and orders pack within five business days of cleared payment, which is slower than some dealers that promise next-day dispatch. Below the threshold, the shipping page lists a $19.95 rate and shows the exact cost in your cart. If you live in the Greater Toronto Area, you can ask about collecting through Brink's instead of home delivery.

Investment-grade gold (99.5% pure or better) is exempt from GST and HST, so a bullion order should carry no sales tax. Our Canadian gold tax guide explains the rule and what happens when you sell.

Storage: what Silver Gold Bull does differently

Storage is the main reason buyers pick Silver Gold Bull over a dealer with a lower price. Its storage page says it uses six facilities in four countries (Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore), including its own facility in Calgary where it offers video audits. Metal is "allocated and segregated", meaning your bars or coins are held under your name and kept apart from other customers', and holdings are insured through Lloyd's of London.

The gap is cost. The page says fees "are variable based on the value of the metal holdings and storage location chosen" and asks you to call or email for a figure. Get the annual fee in writing, including any minimum and any charge to take delivery later, before you choose storage over a home safe or bank box. Its About page also notes that customers outside North America can currently only buy for storage, not delivery.

Selling gold back to Silver Gold Bull

Selling runs through the same account. According to its knowledge base, you add items to a Sell Cart that shows "real-time payout quotes", confirm the quote and receive shipping labels by email. Shipping to Silver Gold Bull is free and insured on sales over $5,000 and costs a flat $50 below that; sales over $100,000 can be dropped off at its Calgary vault. Once your metal is checked for weight and authenticity, it pays within one business day by wallet credit, direct deposit or wire. Metal already in its Calgary storage is treated as pre-verified, which shortens the process.

We could not capture its buy prices automatically, so we do not quote them. Before you sell, compare its quote with a dealer that publishes a share of spot; our guide to selling gold in Canada lists several.

What customers say

We do not publish testimonials or invent ratings. This is what we found on independent sites on 12 October 2026:

The Trustpilot profile covers the Silver Gold Bull brand as a whole (sgb.co), not only the Canadian site. Read the most recent one-star and two-star reviews as well as the average: with a five-business-day packing window, delays are the complaint to watch for.

Who is Silver Gold Bull best for?

Good fit: Canadians who are happy to buy online, pay by e-Transfer or wire, and want the option to store metal in a vault, possibly outside Canada, and sell it back from the same account.

Look elsewhere if: you want to see coins before you pay, you want the lowest premium we can actually show you, or you want delivery within a day or two. Toronto-area buyers have showroom options, and the best places to buy gold in Canada page lists every dealer we cover.
