Product Description
The Umicore 1kg Silver Bar represents a balance of heritage, quality, and practicality in silver investment. Containing 1,000 grams (32.15 troy ounces) of pure 999 silver, each bar is produced in Hoboken, Belgium, by Umicore, a global leader in precious metals with roots tracing back over 200 years.
Umicore's status as an LBMA Good Delivery refiner ensures these bars meet the strictest standards for weight and purity. This makes them widely recognised and easily tradable in global bullion markets. Each bar is cast rather than minted, giving it a classic, slightly matte finish with natural variations that make every piece unique. The obverse is stamped with the Umicore logo, weight, and purity; the reverse is typically left plain.
While silver bullion is subject to VAT in the UK, many investors still favour larger bars like this for their low premium per gram compared to smaller denominations. A 1kg format also offers a practical balance between portability, storage efficiency, and investment value - substantial enough to make an impact in a portfolio, yet compact enough to store discreetly at home or in a secure vault.
Umicore is also known for its commitment to sustainability, operating one of the world's largest precious metals recycling facilities. This environmental focus, combined with a reputation for technical excellence, makes their bullion products appealing to both investors and collectors who value responsible sourcing.
Whether you're expanding an existing silver position or making a significant first purchase, the Umicore 1kg Silver Bar offers exceptional quality and enduring value.
Delivery Information
All orders are shipped via Royal Mail with full insurance and appropriate tracking, depending on order value. Delivery is usually made within 3 to 5 working days, subject to availability. Packaging is plain and unmarked to ensure security during transit. For additional peace of mind, high-value items are double-sealed before dispatch.
We only ship to UK addresses. Customers may also choose to collect in person from our Royal Wootton Bassett office. For in-person collection, you'll need to bring official photo ID (driving licence or passport) and proof of address dated within the last three months (such as a utility bill, bank statement, or council tax bill). We will notify you when your order is ready for collection.
Investing Information
Silver bullion, unlike investment-grade gold coins and bars, is subject to VAT at 20% when purchased in the UK. For some investors, this makes long-term holding or storing overseas more attractive. While VAT can sometimes be offset if selling to VAT-registered businesses or exporting, we recommend researching your personal circumstances before buying.
The Umicore 1kg Silver Bar is not exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT), but larger format bars generally carry a lower premium per gram than smaller sizes, offering better value for money.
We cannot offer financial advice, and we encourage all customers to do their own research before making an investment.

Denomination Information
The 1kg silver bar is a modern investment standard, widely recognised by traders and bullion dealers worldwide. Its size makes it an efficient way to hold a significant quantity of silver in a single unit, reducing per-gram premiums and making storage simpler. While coins are often favoured for their CGT exemptions, bars like this appeal to investors focused on maximising the amount of metal acquired for their money. The kilo format is particularly popular in Europe and is produced by most major refiners, with Umicore's version highly regarded for its consistent quality and global recognition.
