Buy Gold Online Kenya | Secure Remote Purchase – 6-Step Protection + 4 City Hubs

# Buy Gold Online Kenya – Secure Remote Purchase

😨 Your #1 fear: “I send money and get nothing – or fake gold.”
This page gives you a 6‑step protection process that eliminates that risk. You can buy from anywhere.

## 🔐 6‑Step Secure Online Transaction Process

1
Identity verification
You and the dealer exchange passports or company registration. This prevents anonymous scams. How: Request a video call with their license visible.
2
Video call to see gold
Live demonstration of the bar, serial number, and XRF test. Record the call. Why: Ensures the gold exists before you pay.
3
Escrow or MT700 Letter of Credit
Use Escrow.com, a Kenyan law firm, or a bank L/C. Typical fee 1‑2%. Protection: Money released only after you confirm gold is genuine.
4
Independent assay at your chosen lab
Dealer sends a sample to SGS Kenya or Intertek (you pay the lab directly). You receive the report. Non‑negotiable.
5
Insured shipping with tracking
Brinks, Malca‑Amit, or G4S. Fully insured, GPS tracked. You get a tracking number and insurance certificate.
6
Final release after buyer confirmation
You inspect the gold upon delivery (or have a local assayer verify). Then you authorize escrow release. Never release funds before physical verification.
💡 Escrow setup: Contact a Kenyan bank (e.g., KCB, Stanbic) or use Escrow.com. Fees are 1‑2% of transaction value – worth every shilling for safety.

## ✅ Remote Buyer Protection Checklist

☐ Verified dealer license (call Ministry of Mining +254 20 272 3111) ☐ Video call with live XRF test ☐ Escrow or L/C in place (1‑2% fee) ☐ Independent assay at SGS/Intertek (you pay lab directly) ☐ Insured courier with tracking (Brinks, G4S, Malca‑Amit) ☐ Final inspection upon delivery (or local assayer) ☐ Documents received: invoice, assay, dealer license copy
✅ Complete this checklist before you release any payment. If any step fails, cancel the transaction.

## 🚩 Online gold scams – how to spot them

❌ “100% upfront payment” to a WhatsApp dealer – #1 scam in Kenya. Never pay before verification.
❌ Only accepts Western Union, MoneyGram, or crypto to personal wallet – irreversible, no recourse.
❌ Fake e‑commerce site with no physical address – check “Contact Us” page. No phone number = high risk.
❌ Price is 30% below LBMA spot – gold‑plated tungsten or brass.
❌ Fake tracking number that never updates – scammers use real courier numbers from other shipments.
❌ Requests your passport copy for “verification” then uses it for identity theft – only share ID after escrow is set up.
📰 Real example: 2024 – A Dubai buyer paid $45,000 upfront to a “Kenyan WhatsApp dealer” after a video call. The gold never arrived. The dealer vanished. Escrow would have saved him.

## 📄 What documents should you receive?

- Commercial invoice – with dealer stamp, date, weight, purity, price.
- Assay certificate – from SGS, Intertek, or the refinery. Verify by calling the lab.
- Dealer’s Mineral Dealer’s Licence (MDL) copy – verify with Ministry of Mining.
- KRA Tax Compliance Certificate – proves dealer pays taxes.
- Insurance certificate – from the courier (Brinks/G4S).
- Tracking number – for real‑time shipment updates.

🔍 How to verify an online‑issued assay certificate: Call the lab directly (e.g., SGS Kenya +254 20 123456) and provide the certificate number. Fake certificates have missing watermarks or wrong letterhead.

## 📊 Alternatives – gold ETFs & digital gold

If you’re uncomfortable with physical delivery, consider these options (no shipping risk):

- Gold ETFs on Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE): NewGold ETF. Buy via online brokerages (AIB Capital, SBG Securities). Minimum investment ~KES 2,000. Regulated by CMA.
- Digital gold platforms (international): BullionVault, GoldRepublic – but check if they serve Kenya. You hold allocated gold in a vault.
- Fractional gold ownership: Some Kenyan fintechs offer gold savings plans (e.g., Koa, Tulaa – verify licensing).

💡 Pro tip: For small amounts (under KES 50,000), ETFs are safer and more liquid than physical gold delivered to your door.

## 🙋 Frequently asked questions – online gold buying in Kenya

Yes. Licensed dealers ship via insured couriers (Brinks, G4S, Wells Fargo). Delivery to Nairobi: 1‑2 days. Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret: 2‑3 days. You can also pick up at their office in each city if you have a local representative.

Escrow (Escrow.com or a Kenyan law firm) or a Letter of Credit. Credit cards offer chargeback rights but have lower limits. Never use Western Union, MoneyGram, or crypto to a personal wallet.

Ask for a photo of their Mineral Dealer’s Licence (MDL). Call the State Department for Mining at +254 20 272 3111 and provide the number. They will confirm validity and expiry date.

Insured couriers (Brinks, G4S, Malca‑Amit) cover the full value. You file a claim with the courier using the insurance certificate. Always confirm insurance coverage before shipping.

Yes. Many dealers sell 1g, 5g, and 10g bars online. Minimum order varies – some have no minimum. Shipping cost is fixed, so buying larger bars is more cost‑effective.

Gold imports into Kenya are subject to 5% royalty + 5% export tax (if from a non‑Kenyan source) plus VAT (16%) if not exempt. It’s usually cheaper to buy from a licensed Kenyan dealer who has already cleared customs.

### ⚠️ YMYL WARNING – READ BEFORE YOU PAY

Never send 100% upfront to a WhatsApp dealer – that is the #1 scam in Kenya.
Always use escrow, demand independent assaying, and verify the dealer’s license with the Ministry of Mining. If a deal feels rushed or the price is too low, walk away.
