Which Hong Kong shop or bank is best for buying/selling gold?

Original content · last updated 2026

In Hong Kong, buying and selling gold isn't limited to jewellery chains (Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, Luk Fook...). Banks' paper gold (gold passbook) is another option. They are quite different, and this page lists both for easy comparison.

Chains vs bank paper gold

Chains: you get physical gold (bars, pellets, jewellery) to keep or gift; but retail premium and buy-back spreads are wider, and selling incurs commission / weighing loss.
Bank paper gold (BOC / Hang Seng / HSBC): tight spreads, quick and convenient for positions; but it's paper gold with no physical delivery.

What is the "net estimate"?

Net estimate ≈ shop bid per tael × weight (tael) × purity × (1 − commission/weighing loss)

When selling, a shop may charge commission or deduct weight, so a quoted price is not necessarily the net proceeds. This page does not publish per-shop quotes. Obtain a real quote from the shop, then use the sell-gold net calculator to estimate deductions.
