Information given by Maybank when I called them is they will buy from you back since you bought from them. But they will want to see the receipt which they issue to you when they sold to you.

If buy physical gold from banks, i think UOB offer the best spread price.
But i found that DeGem also selling PAMP gold with a lower price, spread price also quite the same.
If do a comparison for today 100gm PAMP gold price
UOB sell 18408, buy 17313, 5.94%
DeGem sell 17769, buy 16670, 6.18%
If you guys, which one you will go for?
If you plan to only sell it back to UOB, then buy from UOB as the spread is smaller . However, if you plan to sell it to other parties eg: friends/other people, then go for DeGem as you buy i at a cheaper price. From what I was told by the banks, they only will buy back the gold that you bought from them. (makes sense or there will be arbitrage--imagine people buying from DeGem and selling to UOB). That's why they issue you certificate/receipt to show proof that you bought from them. In fact, you can't even get others to buy on your behalf because they take down your IC and so on.

If you have only a few hundred ringgit budget and you do not want to wait is to go and open a gold savings account in Maybank as you can buy/sell in 1 gm (1 gm is around RM170). Physical gold, the smallest is 1/4 ounce which cost around RM1,400.
no idea on vgmc.
