Quick, online sign-up process for residents in Japan


Customers resident in Japan can get started quickly with a Basic Holding and later upgrade to a Full Holding as more funds are transferred-in for metal purchases.


What is a Holding?


To buy precious metals with GoldMoney, you first need to open a Holding, which is the digital customer file where the ownership of your metal and your transactions are recorded. We have deliberately chosen the word ‘Holding’ instead of ‘Account’ to make it clear to our customers that they own the metal and it is held in their name. GoldMoney does not charge a fee when you first sign up or when you upgrade from a Basic to a Full Holding.


GoldMoney Holding Types


Residents in Japan can choose between two types of Holding: Basic and Full. Basic Holdings are easier to set up due to lighter regulatory requirements, but offer less functionality than Full Holdings. Please have a look at the overview below to find the solution that best suits your requirements:

Security and integrity


As a company regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission, GoldMoney complies with anti-money laundering legislation, which requires GoldMoney to know the identity and residential address of each of its customers. We make use of a Customer Acceptance Policy (CAP), to ensure the security and integrity of the GoldMoney system. Please ensure that documents provided for the CAP are clearly legible and written in English. More information about the CAP and how to sign up for your GoldMoney Holding can be found in our CAP FAQ.


Translated documents


If your documents are not in English, the original or certified copies must be sent with a fully certified translation by a professional translator. This translation should include information about the translator and their work as a translator, and their confirmation that it is an accurate translation of the original documents. The translator must sign and date the document.

Joint Holdings

You can also open a Basic or Full Holding together with someone else, for example your spouse. Holdings for individuals under the age of 18 must be joint Holdings in the names of the child and a parent or legal guardian of the child. To open a joint Holding, please follow the instructions given during the sign-up process. It is as easy as opening up a Holding for an individual person.
