We're rebuilding the physical layer of the gold economy.
Gold is the oldest store of value on Earth — and the most inefficient to trade. Four billion ounces sit in private hands, locked out of the market by information asymmetry and physical friction. Gold.Kiosk is the hardware and AI that removes both.
A fair price, in three minutes, anywhere.
We build AI-powered, cloud-connected kiosks that test, value, and purchase precious metals on the spot — at the LBMA spot rate, with biometric audit, AML-grade KYC, and same-day payout. Our customers are banks, jewelry chains, and distributors deploying fleets across twelve markets. Our users are the half-billion consumers who, until now, had no neutral, instant path to liquidity on their gold.
The machine does not negotiate. It does not store your gold. It does not subsidize its margin with information asymmetry. It prints the LBMA rate to two decimals, applies a transparent refining fee, and pays in seconds.
in privately-held gold globally, of which roughly 8% is traded each year — almost entirely through opaque, high-friction channels. We digitize the trade layer.
Operators from fintech, hardware, and precious metals.
Sixty-four people across three offices. Backed by founders and operators who've built the systems our industry depends on.
