What do you get with flexgold? Easy access to precious metals.
Very few people know where to buy and (securely) store precious metals. Our innovative flexgold solution provides you with a way to conveniently invest in precious metals.
flexgold was developed in Switzerland by the SOLIT Group, a leader in diverse investment solutions since 2008 with more than 200,000 customers. The SOLIT Group is one of the largest precious metal dealers Europe, distributing its products to investors all over the continent, including more than 250 Volksbank and Sparkasse branches in Germany.

FAQ – The questions our customers ask the most.
Precious metals (especially gold and silver) have been used as a method of payment for thousands of years. Stores of value, precious metals are an effective hedge against inflation and always prove to be a safe haven, especially during turbulent times on the capital markets.
flexgold lets you invest in any amount of physical precious metals, without having to worry about storage.
At flexgold, you can invest in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
It’s entirely up to you. Gold is the classic (and best-known) precious metal. Silver, platinum, and palladium are also important industrial metals. Their prices are therefore dictated by the general economic situation. Silver is the cheapest precious metal: the price for one ounce (31.1 g) usually runs in the double digits, compared to four digits for gold, platinum, and palladium.
