Try UOB if you are looking to buy gold in Singapore or trade gold in Singapore.

I believe they are the only bank which deals in gold and silver.
However they DO NOT allow delivery of physical silver from their silver accounts.

The UOB gold account unlike the silver account allows delivery of physical gold.

You can buy gold bullion coins such as Canadian Maple Leafs, Kruggerands, American Gold Eagles and Australian Kangaroos.

The info below is from the UBS website:

Gold Bars
Choose from a large variety ranging from small gold wafers to cast kilobars. They are tradable worldwide and can be bought from and sold back to the Bank with our daily buy-sell market quote.

Gold Bullion Coins

These are treasured as collector's items and are ideal long-term investments. We offer the following bullion coins in various sizes, ranging from one oz to 1/20 oz:
  • Canadian Maple Leaf Gold Coins
  • American Eagle Gold Coins
  • Australian Kangaroo Gold Nuggets
  • Singapore Lion Gold Bullion Coins
These coins are legal tender with face values, and accepted and tradable worldwide. They can be bought from and sold back to the Bank with our daily buy-sell market quote.

Gold Certificates

These are sold in mutiples of one kilobar and up to a maximum of 30 kilobars per certificate. With no expiry date, these certificates can be exchanged for physical gold or cash whenever the need arises.

Gold Savings Account
You can buy and sell international gold - through a passbook - at prevailing market prices and transact any time during banking hours in units of one gm of gold, subject to a minimum of five gm per transaction.

Your gains are not subject to Singapore's Goods and Services Tax (GST) and can be exchanged for physical gold (subject to a market premium) or cash, whenever the need arises.

Silver Savings Account
It has never been easier to invest in silver. We have made the international silver market more accessible to smaller investors through our Silver Savings Account, which is your evidence of ownership of unallocated silver bullion with a minimum fineness of 99.9%.

You can buy and sell international silver - through a passbook - at prevailing market prices in multiples of 10 ounces of silver each time, and as often as you like during banking hours.

Your gains are not subject to Singapore's Goods and Services Tax (GST) and can be exchanged for physical silver (subjected to a market premium) or cash, whenever the need arises.
