Questions

What is the difference between “In custody” and “Bars delivered”?

With “In custody” the gold is held by iSwiss in your name: you find it in the gold account and can sell it or have it shipped whenever you want. With “Bars delivered” you choose bars and give a delivery address.

Can I buy by stating euros instead of grams?

Yes. On the “Buy gold” screen tap “Euro” and type how much you want to spend, or tap “Grams” and type how much gold you want.

What does “Price locked” mean?

The price per gram you see stays fixed for the time shown by the countdown below the amount.

Where do I find the gold I just bought?

In the gold account: the confirmation says it is already there, and the purchase appears among your transactions.
