welcome... depends on whether there are lot of ppl or not... but last 2 weeks i visit the branch.. it take around 45-50mins and for ur info once u open u need to place at least 20gm

and yes u need to have a saving account with them too ^^

thanks.. so i need to bring more than 20gm cost for opening GSA and saving account?

yes and bring extra $$ coz that time i go and submit application at customer service the rate is 169.80 but when i wanna pay the $$ the rate is 171.40, their system will only follow the current price in their system but not follow the rate write in the form .. so depend on ur luck >.< the saving if not mistaken RM10 only ba.. 4get liao 

Oh my... 45-50 minutes quque?

The Gold Rush of the 21st Century? Only bought 20gm... now regret buy too little.

Price is still strong going UP!!

 

but now gold price keep pumping up... thanks..

can we transfer ssving into gold investment anytime? can thru online or only thru banking?

gold is gold is gold and on annd on infinitely - just branding only
by right you can and sell gold anywhere

BUT branding and advertising costs money and u have to pay for it when u buy gold at a higher price per gram and then when u sell it back at even lower price because u sell back you are selling gold - not the branding

also different shops got so many conditions - just buy gold coin or bar but cannot open and touch the gold - otherwise they will deduct a massive price on sell back

for example poh kong gold that u buy - if u sell back to poh kong they will deduct a certain percentage depending on the condition of the pacakge
- there will be terms and conditons

but if you take the same gold to habib or tomei  or other gold shops they will usually deduct a much larger percentage

so whatever brand u buy there will be a susut or buyback price or spread which is lesser than the sell price  you can see it on the website - 6%

BUT if u buy jewellery then the spread is so much more when u want to sell back

i hope this explains your query

but now gold price keep pumping up... thanks..

In order to open the saving account, you need RM500.
You cannot buy the Gold via online, everything have to be done in bank [UOB]. Unless you plan to invest in PBB.

I notice the buying-selling spread is increased compared to what I've observe last week It gives me a thought of should I top up or buy physical gold instead.
