Glint charges an annual gold storage and insurance fee of 0.125%. When you carry out a gold or foreign exchange transaction, the exchange rate and any associated fees will be shown before you confirm the transaction. Glint applies a low premium fee of 0.5% with no other additional hidden margins. Glint also likely earns money through merchant fees from the use of their debit card.

Gold fluctuates in price. Whilst Glint strongly believes that gold is the fairest and most reliable currency on the planet, they point out that it isn’t 100% risk free. Although there has been a steady increase over time, the value of gold can fall, which means the purchasing power of the customer can also fall. In the unlikely event that Glint became insolvent, client funds (both currency and gold) are held protected in segregated, safeguarded accounts and client’s currency is protected by the FDIC up to $250,000.
