Sberbank of Russia - Precious Metals

Investment in precious metals is a reliable way to preserve your savings. Gold, silver, platinum and palladium have high liquidity, and your investment can bring extra income, if international prices for precious metals increase.

As one of the largest participants of the Russian market in precious metals, Sberbank of Russia offers its clients the full range of services concerning the purchase and sale of precious metal bullion.

The bank sells standard and minted bars of precious metals.

Minted bars can be purchased in the following weight range:

Gold: from 1 up to 1,000 grams
