About Meridian Aurum
Plain-English gold investing, built on transparency.
For 25 years, we've watched most gold-investing sites bury their fees, dress up risk as opportunity, and talk down to first-time investors. Meridian Aurum is our attempt to do the opposite.
Why this exists
Meridian Aurum is built for people who want to add gold to their savings without needing a finance degree to understand what they're buying. That means transparent pricing shown before you commit, plain-English product pages instead of jargon, and a Risk Disclosure page we actually want you to read.
Make gold ownership understandable, not intimidating
Transparency
Every fee is itemized before you buy. No hidden spreads, no fine-print surprises.
Security
Insured, segregated storage with independently audited vaults wherever we can arrange it.
Education
We'd rather explain the trade-offs than push a sale. Insights is free, and always will be.
Long-term thinking
Gold is framed here as a patient, small part of a portfolio, never a quick win.

How we make money
We don't charge you to open an account or to browse Insights. Revenue comes from three places, all shown before you confirm any order:
- A small spread over the live spot price on each purchase or sale.
- An ongoing storage fee for vaulted gold, charged as a percentage per year.
- Delivery and, for physical bullion, optional insurance fees when you choose them.
Full numbers live on Pricing & Fees. Nothing here is rounded down for marketing purposes.
