GoldMoney partners with Equifax Canada

GoldMoney partners with Equifax Canada to offer online identity verification for Canadian residents

1 September 2010 - GoldMoney, one of the world’s largest providers of physical bullion for retail investors, is now able to offer residents of Canada online identity verification through Equifax Canada, which enables them to open a GoldMoney account entirely online and transfer funds within 20 minutes. The ID verification service is being provided by Equifax Canada, the consumer verification expert, and is an expansion of the existing offering, which has been a success for GoldMoney customers in the US and UK.

Geoff Turk, CEO of GoldMoney, said: “The sign-up process combines efficiency with Equifax Canada’s state-of-the-art security. Customers are able to start funding their Holding within minutes.”

GoldMoney has continued to develop the simplicity of opening a Holding after making it an entirely online process for residents of the 44 ‘fast-tracked’ countries, including Canada, UK, USA, Germany and Australia. Scanned identity verification documents can be directly uploaded through the website, in contrast with regular verification procedures requiring a paper-based application and the need to post documents.

“GoldMoney’s online system enables customers resident in Canada to sign-up online and buy gold, silver and platinum from the comfort of their home, without paying the high premiums for coins and small bars,” Mr. Turk added.

Demand for precious metals in the past 18 months has increased substantially as investors recognise the retained value of gold and its stability relative to other currencies and financial instruments.
