Goldmoney always looked attractive to me but every time I check the fine print it just looks too expensive.

$55 for a Canadian wire transfer! Give me a break!

I use XEtrade to shift USD from a US bank into CAD in a Canadian bank and they offer excellent currency conversion rates (half the cost of the bank's own preferred rate) and do the transfer by ACH electronic transfer for free, both ends! Even for wires they only charge $10 to $12 a wire for virtually anywhere in the world in most currencies for any amount.

The idea of dealing in gold or silver is appealing but Goldmoney are worse than most bankers with wire transfer fees they are charging. I don't deal with anyone who doesn't offer free ACH transfers in US and Canada. Even PayPal allows free ACH transfers in and out of your bank without wire charges.

Seems BullionVault is another favorite (per multiple forum debates on it vs Goldmoney, as well as multiple positive articles) ...and it has better rates (for gold and for fees).
bullionvault.com

They also have a good FAQ about gold ownership (allocated vs not, property vs liability, etc:
