# 24K Gold Bars for Sale in Kenya – Real Price, Purity Guaranteed

This page gives you live pricing, a purity guarantee, and a step‑by‑step verification process.

## 💰 24K Gold Bar Pricing (April 2026) – Nairobi

Bar size | LBMA spot (KES) | Typical premium | Your price (KES) | Best for
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1g | KES 11,200 | +12‑18% | KES 12,500 – 13,200 | Test purchase, gifts
5g | KES 56,000 | +10‑15% | KES 61,600 – 64,400 | First‑time small investment
10g | KES 112,000 | +8‑12% | KES 121,000 – 125,500 | Entry level bullion
1oz (31.1g) | KES 348,300 | +7‑10% | KES 372,700 – 383,100 | International standard
1kg (1000g) | KES 11,200,000 | +5‑8% | KES 11,760,000 – 12,096,000 | Serious investors

💡 Why premiums exist: Refinery costs, assay certification, secure transport, insurance, and dealer overhead (license, rent, staff). Trusted dealers charge 5‑8% for 1kg bars; lower premiums often indicate fake gold.

## 📐 Calculate your cost – live formula

Your price = (LBMA spot price per gram × weight) + (premium % × spot value)

Example (1kg bar): Spot = KES 11,200/g × 1000 = KES 11.2M. Premium 6% = KES 672,000. Total ≈ KES 11.87M.

## 🔬 Purity Guarantee – each bar is verifiable

Every 24K gold bar we sell (or any trusted dealer) comes with:

- Serial number – engraved on the bar, matching the assay card.
- Assay certificate – from an accredited lab (SGS, Intertek, or refinery).
- Purity markings: “999.9” (24K), “916” (22K). A hallmark from an independent assayer guarantees purity.
- Retesting allowed: You can take a sample to any lab of your choice before payment.

✅ What you receive: Bar in sealed plastic + assay card + commercial invoice + dealer’s license copy + serial number tracking.

### 🧪 XRF vs. Fire Assay – which test to trust?

XRF (handheld gun): 60 seconds, surface scan only. Cannot detect tungsten core.
Fire assay: 24‑48 hours, melts sample, 99.99% accurate. Industry gold standard.
For any purchase above 50g, demand a fire assay at an independent lab.

Trusted labs in Nairobi: SGS Kenya (Mombasa Road), Intertek (Wilson Airport). Cost $80‑150.

## 🏪 Licensed gold bar dealers – Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret

Dealer name | City / location | License No. | KRA PIN | Walk‑in hours
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
Nairobi Gold Centre | Nairobi – BBS Mall, Mombasa Road | MDL/045/2024 | P051234567A | Mon‑Sat 9am‑5pm
Karat Gold Nairobi | Nairobi – Westlands, Mpaka Road | MDL/078/2025 | Tax compliant | Appointment only
Mombasa Refinery Ltd | Mombasa – Old Town, Mbaraki Street | GRL/012/2024 | P087654321B | 8am‑4pm weekdays
Kisumu Bullion Exchange | Kisumu – Oginga Odinga Street | MDL/102/2025 | Verified | Walk‑in, closed Sun
Eldoret Gold Traders | Eldoret – Uganda Road, near Rupa Mall | MDL/115/2025 | Tax compliant | Mon‑Fri 10am‑4pm

🔍 How to verify a dealer’s license: Call the State Department for Mining +254 20 272 3111 and provide the MDL number. Also check KRA PIN on iTax portal – a valid Tax Compliance Certificate must be recent. Ask for the CR12 certificate to see directors’ names.

## 💳 Secure payment – bank transfer & escrow

⚠️ Cash is dangerous: No trace, no recourse. Always use bank transfer to a corporate account. For purchases above KES 500,000, demand escrow (law firm or Payoneer Escrow).

Secure transaction checklist:

1. Find a licensed dealer (use directory above).
2. Verify MDL, KRA PIN, and CR12.
3. Inspect bar and watch XRF test.
4. Sign a sales agreement (include independent testing clause).
5. Pay via bank transfer to company account (no personal accounts).
6. Get signed receipt + assay certificate + license copy.

## 🚚 Delivery, storage & export options

Physical delivery: Most dealers allow in‑person collection. Insured courier (Brinks, GardaWorld) available for a fee (KES 5,000‑15,000 within Nairobi).

Safe storage: Bank safe deposit boxes (KCB, Stanbic – approx KES 15,000‑30,000/year) or private vaults (Britam, Safe Deposit Centre).

Export procedures: To ship gold out of Kenya, you need an Export Permit from the Ministry of Mining, plus assay certificate, commercial invoice, and tax compliance. Foreign buyers must work with a licensed exporter.

📄 Required documents for legal purchase: Invoice, assay certificate, dealer’s MDL copy, KRA Tax Compliance Certificate, and receipt. Keep for 7 years.

## ⚖️ Legal & tax – what you must know

Mining Act 2016 – All gold dealers must hold a Mineral Dealer’s Licence. Unlicensed trading is a criminal offense.

Taxes: 0% VAT on gold exports. Royalty 5% + export tax 5% (paid by exporter). For local purchases, VAT may apply if the dealer is not an exporter. Always ask for a tax invoice.

Foreign buyer rules: You can buy gold as a foreigner, but only a licensed exporter can ship it out. You do not need a Kenyan license to purchase.

Regulatory bodies: Ministry of Mining (licensing), KEBS (hallmarking standards), DCI (fraud reporting), Kenya Chamber of Mines (industry body).

## 🚩 Red flags – spot a scam before you lose money

❌ Foreign address for a “Kenyan” dealer – e.g., Cameroon, Dubai. Real dealers have a verifiable Nairobi/Mombasa address.
❌ Refuses independent testing – “Our in‑house assay is enough.” Legitimate dealers encourage SGS or Intertek.
❌ Price is 20%+ below market – gold‑plated tungsten or brass.
❌ Upfront payment before seeing the bar – “Deposit for export permit” – classic advance fee fraud.
❌ Fake assay certificates – missing watermarks, wrong ministry letterhead, serial numbers that don’t match the bar.
📰 Real Kenyan scams: 2025 – Sh28 million lost to tungsten‑filled bars in Nairobi. 2024 – Sh150 million advance fee fraud with fake ministry connections. Always verify.

## 👣 First‑time buyer walkthrough – under 100g

1. Research & shortlist – Pick 2‑3 licensed dealers from directory above.
2. Call before visiting – Confirm they have 1g‑10g bars in stock.
3. Bring a knowledgeable friend – Two pairs of eyes reduce mistakes.
4. Inspect the bar – Look for serial number, “999.9” stamp, and assay card.
5. Watch XRF test – Ask for a live scan and record the result.
6. Verify documents – Check license, KRA PIN, and assay certificate.
7. Pay via bank transfer – No cash, no Western Union.
8. Get receipt & secure transport – Use a private car, not public matatu.

📝 Script for contacting a dealer: “Hello, I’m looking to buy a 10g 24K gold bar. Can I visit your office today at 2pm? What is your Mineral Dealer’s Licence number? Do you have an XRF machine on site?”

## 📊 Investment strategy – 1kg bar vs gold ETFs

Feature | Physical 1kg gold bar | Gold ETF (e.g., NewGold ETF on NSE)
--- | --- | ---
Minimum investment | ~KES 11.8M | ~KES 2,000 (fractional shares)
Storage cost | KES 15,000‑30,000/year (vault) | None (custodian fees included)
Liquidity | Lower – need to find a buyer | High – sell on NSE anytime
Counterparty risk | None (you hold the bar) | ETF provider / custodian
Best for | Long‑term hedge, privacy | Small investors, easy entry

Smaller bar options: 100g and 50g bars are available from most licensed dealers (approx KES 1.18M and KES 590,000 respectively). They offer better liquidity than 1kg.

💡 If you’re new to gold, start with a 10g or 1oz bar. Once you trust the process, scale up to 100g or 1kg.
