How to choose a gold broker (checklist)
- Which entity and regulator will hold YOUR account (not just the group's best licence)?
- Does it accept residents of your country? Never bypass a broker's country rules.
- Real cost on gold: spread + commission + swap for your account type.
- Deposit and withdrawal methods, fees and speed.
- Negative-balance protection and segregated client funds.
