Pegadaian Digital is touted as the pioneer of online gold-saving methods. If you have never used Pawnshop services, maybe you have no experience saving gold here. But, don't worry, at Pegadaian Digital, you can invest in gold cheaply online.

The reason is, you will not be charged an account opening fee and gold safekeeping fee in the first year or IDR 0. Meanwhile, to open an account, you only need to deposit IDR 50,000 to fill in the initial balance.

4. Pluang

Pluang is an online application for gold investment under PG Berjangka. PG Berjangka itself has been registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI). Currently, Pluang is aggressively carrying out branding to attract young people to start investing.

At Pluang, you only need to prepare IDR 5,000 to start saving gold and it's free of additional fees. Pluang itself also works with marketplace products such as Tokopedia Emas and Go Investasi to expand its services.

5. Tokopedia Gold and Shopee Gold Savings

To expand its services, Pegadaian collaborates with various marketplaces, namely Tokopedia and Shopee. On Tokopedia, you only need to top-up starting at IDR 5,000. Meanwhile, at Shopee, you can buy at a much cheaper price, which is only IDR 500.

The purchase price will be equivalent to the number of grams of gold. After buying, the gold that you have will be stored in the Pawnshop system which can also be withdrawn at any time.

6. Unlock Gold

Attracting the marketplace to work together is not only done by Pegadaian, but also by Indogold. BukaEmas, which is a Bukalapak product, is the result of a collaboration with Indogold.

This service has arguably the lowest top-up fee, which is IDR 100 for 0.0001 grams of gold. BukaEmas also has a gold printing feature that can be sent directly to your address.

7. Go Invest

The last online gold investment application recommendation is Go Investment from Gojek. Go Investment itself is managed by PG Berjangka, so the legality is clear.

In addition to the license from BAPPEBTI from Futures PG, Go Investment has also received a Digital Gold sharia license from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI).

At Go Investment, you only need to spend IDR 8,464 for 0.01 grams of gold. For gold disbursement, you can exchange gold for cash via Gopay or Antam's gold printing.

Those are the recommendations for the best digital applications for online gold investment. Gold investment can also be used as an option other than mutual fund investment which is often used as an option for beginners.

Apart from legality, purchase costs, and administrative costs, make sure you also consider the supporting features that make transactions comfortable for you. Happy investing!
