Easy Bank Transfer to Buy Gold in Seconds

(Note: This is currently only available for UK customers).

At Glint, we believe buying gold should be as fast, simple, and secure as any modern payment. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our latest innovation

Easy Bank Transfer – directly into the Buy Gold experience in the Glint app. 

Easy Bank Transfer to Buy Gold in Seconds

Why Use Easy Bank Transfer to Buy Gold? 

  • Instant Ownership: Buy gold in real time using funds directly from your bank account in just seconds. 

  • No Pre-Funding Needed: Skip topping up your wallet or having to add your bank or payment card details. Just buy gold when you want it. 

  • Simple & Secure: Developed by Glint and supported by secure banking connection technology. 

How Glint Keeps It Secure 

Glint’s Easy Bank Transfer feature uses a secure connection interface provided by our trusted partner Plaid. This allows you to authenticate directly with your bank, without ever sharing your login credentials with Glint or Plaid. 

Your data privacy is our priority. Glint’s integration ensures that only the essential information (like your account number) is securely transmitted once you've authorised the connection.
