the uob staff must be dreaming while talking to you

no problems with opening gold account, like another forummer said, you only need to open a savings a/c only and can buy oledi. if you're investing above 1000gm, you can consider the premier gold account. spread is only rm1 per gm, even better to trade
ya, the spread of UOB
Premium Gold account is extremely attractive!
BUT initial investment is 1KG, AND trading unit is 1KG!!
means that every time buy in minimum must be 1KG gold, sell out must minimum 1KG! (1KG gold = ~RM 180,000)
not much ppl have this ability trading in "2 Honda City" unit.
even have the ability, also no guts to bear such high risk...
unless the person planning to invest in long term 10 or 15 years, and after deposit in not going to see / hear / know the gold price,
else... may die of heart attack!
