Leave a Review Glint | Buy Gold Instantly
Crappy already
have received my card, trying to activate it through the app yet it seems impossible to do so. I actually regret dealing with you company already. The camera function won't scan the card and typing in the card number doesn't do anything. What good is your service if it's this hard to activate a card. Tried sending an email and that couldn't go through. If my emails can't reach your customer service why should I trust you people with my money.Show lessdanesworth83
Super fast to buy Gold
I had sign up today,got approved in few minutes,used my debit card and bought Gold instantly,super coolSuriyaRamesh
This is amazing!
I got a fast response from customer service that answered my question. Use the ACH option if in the U.S., banks are flagging as international and adding a fee. The app works great for what I need.Tony1234567890jopdip
Great card, versatile, practical and current.
This is a great app and card, I have enjoyed safely storing my money in Gold and watched the value gain on the rise of the spot price, sure the value can also decrease but I would not have benefited from the gains in gold that I have with any other currency.
The payment aspect is clean and the card is accepted in all the places I’ve used it.
I understand new features are being added all the time which is encouraging.
If you are looking for a versatile payment card where you can buy and sell gold, Glint is the one would I recommend.Show lessJasonap71

Awesome app
Love the concept. At first had an issue with my bank. They were charging me for transfers but seems like they stopped. The only thing would be nice to have a gold price chartSTRAVINSKIY
Good for saving, not for spending
Quick warning for anyone planning on using this card: they do not accept direct deposit from your employer (despite having a routing number) and only accept money from a ‘main bank account’ (despite being advertised as being usable as a main account). What this means is that every time you want money on this account, you have to manually wire it from a separate account. Every. Single. Time. That doesn’t sound very convenient now, does it? Unless you want to use it to save money (which still wouldn’t make the process any less inconvenient) this aspect makes using it to make everyday purchases a massive, pointless pain. After all, if you have a main bank account, why bother transferring the funds just to spend them? The only redeeming qualities of this service are the gold/bill exchange (aka the cornerstone of the service) and the design. These two things are the only reason that this review has two stars instead of one. However, if you want gold, you’re better off buying a gold coin, as it would have much more straightforward then this confused mess of an app.Show lessAlisa Rosenbaum

OK, so there have been some problems with the administration episode this year which was certainly undesirable and the company could definitely have communicated better individually with its customers at the outset. I still don’t really understand why that didn’t happen. It seems only fair however, to point out that the way the system is structured there was never any risk of clients losing ownership of their own gold. New fintechs are always going to have teething issues be they technical or funding related but the good ones will survive and prosper. Personally, I have no doubt that Glint will be a survivor. It’s a great concept exceptionally well executed. Go for it.Show lessrebelyonuk
Don’t Open an Account Here
These guys have been nothing but hard to work with ever since I opened my account with them. Even though I had originally opened an account which I could use in Europe with Euros or Pounds they insisted I get a USA account (though I am a dual national and have and Irish passport). They made me transfer my account to the USA and I had to have it sent to a USA address even though I live overseas. Then when I went to use the card no one accepts it so it’s been virtually useless to me as a MasterCard. Next I tried to withdraw money to my bank ccount and they held up the withdrawal asking for a bank statement and did not sent me any notification of that even though they said they sent an email to me informing me of that. I thought this would be an easy, seemless way to trade in gold and for that part I guess it’s okay; but it has beeen far from seemless and your funds are not liquid as they have so many freaking rules and regulations and contrary advice from England to the USA; it’s simply a pain in the tush (posterior). So caveat emptor. Finally, this morning one of their people was helpful and responsive and assured me that my withdrawal is on its way to my bank. An update: if you have any spending discrepancies re. Price paid while overseas their staff is very responsive and will follow up on it.Show lesscarloarturo7

Hi there, thank you for your review. Great news! We will be fully launched in the US this summer! At that point, we will be issuing our US clients with Glint Mastercards with the option to spend in both USD and grams of gold. We will also be supported by US banking facilities meaning that topping-up your account and withdrawing will be hassle-free and with no international banking fees! Thanks.App Doesn’t Work
So ever since I got the iPhone X the app doesn’t work. I have deleted and and reinstalled it countless times, but it keeps crashing on the app splash screen. The app worked on my iPhone 7 but no luck on the X. There is no web interface, so I just have this card in my wallet with no actual funds on it. Looking for a fix but not sure what to do.Show lessGMoney020
