Company Review – Fast Stats:
Ainslie Overview
Ainslie Bullion are one of Australia’s best known bullion dealers operating in-person and online from two central showroom locations, in Melbourne and Brisbane.
They provide a full spectrum of bullion-related services, from straightforward retail purchases to ultra-secure vaulting and portfolio diversification including working with SMSF accounts and service providers. More recently Ainslie started running specialist wealth services through their bullion and crypto dealing offshoot Ainslie Wealth.
Consistently among the best rated bullion dealers in Australia, Ainslie Bullion are one of our 2022 Top Choice Dealers.
Ainslie Bullion’s Main Services
Ainslie Bullion’s principal focus is in helping investors diversify their assets through precious metals. This is accomplished through selling bullion bars and coins to retail and professional investors to form part of a diversified portfolio – including inside an SMSF. As part of their all-inclusive service Ainslie can provide secure storage as required and offer opportunities for further diversification such as with cryptocurrency through their in-house HNW division.
Typically focused on investment-grade bullion, they stock a wide range of both Australian and international bullion products at their professional showrooms and even mint their own gold and silver bullion bars with their range of silver ‘stacker’ bars being especially popular.

Over The Counter Sales
Known best for the quality of their customer care, professionalism and friendliness it’s no surprise that Ainslie’s two showrooms and over the counter sales services are always popular with any level of investor.
Whether a buyer is looking to invest in a single coin or multiple gold kilobars they are assured the same happy welcome and relaxed friendly surroundings with discreet and professional care.
In an age where many retailers seem to have forgotten the basics of good service, it’s reassuring to see companies who can still deliver across the board where it counts – and with no need to pre-book appointments, Ainslie is always delighted to invite new precious metals buyers to try their services or just pop in for a no-obligation chat.Online Sales
Of course there will always be buyers who cannot make it into Brisbane or Melbourne – so while they may miss out on the atmosphere of an Ainslie showroom – the company’s well-stocked e-commerce store offers a wide range of well-priced, top-quality investment bullion for fast easy purchase.
Available for home delivery nationally or shipped direct to a choice of secure storage facilities, Ainslie Bullion’s gold, silver and platinum bullion products along with their numismatic and collectible coins can be perused and purchased in a matter of a few clicks.
The secure e-commerce platform enjoys live pricing, with a 10 minute price lock during purchase followed by a simple 10% deposit payable by credit card.
A storage account can be set up prior to or during checkout – or metals can be delivered nationally and internationally.

Ainslie Mint
For a low premium but top quality Australian-made metals investment, Ainslie now offers an own branded range of gold and silver bullion in both cast and minted styles across a wide range of SMSF-compliant sizes and weights.
Their 1kg poured silver bar is their most popular offering silver very close to spot and allows for a highly efficient route to silver investment, but for us their silver stackers in 10oz, 1kg and 100oz sizes are top of the charts thanks to their added security engraving, micro-reeding – and of course they stack like Lego!
Finally for investors looking to start out in gold but with a more limited budget, we’re big fans of the Ainslie Bullion 1/2 ounce cast puck – each of these hand finished rounds having a unique character you only get with smaller cast pieces.

Secure Storage
Another benefit to Ainslie Bullion’s full-service approach to precious metals investment is in their storage options – and this is especially valuable to investors with larger holdings.
Ainslie provide two types of in-house custodial storage accounts, unallocated and allocated. Both are fully insured and offer a low-fee route to investment storage.
For clients looking for private storage complete with their own safe and key, Ainslie recommends Reserve Vault and The Melbourne Vault and are more than happy to help facilitate these services.

SMSF Services
Any investment portfolio can benefit from the diversification and market hedging qualities of precious metals – and this applies equally to SMSF (Self Managed Super Funds) as it does to regular portfolios.

Depending on a buyer’s needs and any strategies developed for their SMSF, Ainslie Bullion can supply packages of highly liquid and/or lowest-premium bullion to match an investor’s short, medium and longer term plans.

Well starting off as a silver stacker and enjoying it more than I thought. What makes things easy for small starting stackers/ investors like me is to call and DISCUSS yes talk what to do, what’s the best way and it didn’t matter how small my order/ purchase MAY be. Mannerisms ,treated very well, best price and safe/ good delivery- wish they trained staff for other stores lacking. Can’t wait for my next silver stack order from Ainslie Bullion 5 stars
Carmel Dowse – :
Ainslies has become my go-to bullion company in recent years . Their friendly and professional service, price, range and availability of quality bars and coins is second to none .Everyone I have delt with , Anthony, Paul, Chris, have been wonderful to deal with ,But It was very disappointing and unprecedented, when this week I was contacted by one of their sales team, D***** ,who was rude , uncompromising and lacked any basic customer service skills . After being a strong advocate for this company and given many recommendations to family members and members of my stacker groups, I felt really let down . D*****’s sharp, unwarranted and demeaning manner left me shocked and speechless . I hope that Ainslie will address this issue and I can continue to receive the amazing service I have had in the past . Ainslie deserve to be respected as Brisbanes premier bullion company and not be dragged down by one bad apple .
A. Kaufman – :
I always shop around for my bullion before buying & Ainslie Bullion consistently has the lowest prices (especially when volume discounts are applied), a great range & personalised, one on one service ensuring you buy at the best price & can sell at the best price too.
I have no hesitation in recommending them wholeheartedly.
Tracie Palmer – :
Paul and Stephanie are committed to delivering an amazing Customer experience. They immediately dropped what they were doing to meet with us privately. We walked away feeling confident that we are dealing with a firm that absolutely cares about their clients. We could not recommend Ainslie Bullion & Ainslie Wealth more. A fantastic and uniquely different customer experience. 5 Stars Service!
Allison W – :

Michael J Gill – :
Dealt with Anthony… I’m not a rich man but love bullion the place was almost intimidating walking in Anthony helped me through everything was very professional taught me a few things about bullion and didn’t treat me like a peasant even though he knew I didn’t have a lot to spend.. if I ever make it big I’ll be buying some big purchases hear no where else.. on the simple fact I was treated as an equal even though they knew I didn’t have alot to spend… Went in for a wombat came out with a gold 1989 frill neck instead… Great business
Shanil Edirisinghe – :
Great place.. Easy to find. A nice choice of silver to buy as well. Different coins to choose. The sellers name was Bailey I think. Got a lot of advice from him as well. Cheers guys
Aussie Legend – :
Ainslie’s customer service is above standard. From web site, web order, confirmation e-mails, and prompt delivery service. I have rarely had such stellar service from other online providers. Keep up the good work.
Max – :
I recently discovered that Ainslie had only sent me 100 ounces of silver out of 200. As this was back in 2016 I can’t do anything about it as I never got a courier note with details re weight of the shipment. 4 x 25 ounce boxes which I stupidly assumed were 50 each. It cost me over $2,000.00 and that’s why I will never buy from that bullion company again!
Richard – :
The best bullion company i have dealt with. No hassle buying and shipment. Best prices hands down and very honest from the outset with what stock they have on hand and time frames for expected deliveries. All this openly displayed on their website without any suprises. Fantastic customer service.
Me bro – :
Best prices hands down. Efficient and discreet shipping. Great service and good product range. Will always buy the bulk of my physical stack with Ainslie.
