### 3/5 — 1-3 days withdrawal time

*2026-07-24, version 3.7.1*

I was surprised to see that the withdrawal time is 1 to 3 days. It should be maximum a few hours. Not 2-3 days l.

### 4/5 — Widgets

*2026-02-22, version 3.4.12*

Would be nice to have the option to select Gold OR Silver in the Widgets

### 2/5 — Scam! Holding money

*2026-01-30, version 3.4.11*

My sale is pending more than 24hrs. They say it’ll take 3 days to clear. This is advertised as a spot buy and sell. Then it takes another 3 days for money to be withdrawn to your account. Total SCAM!! sitting on our money without accountability. 

Atrocious charges so moved over to BullionVault

### 4/5 — Silver gold investment made easy

*2026-01-10*

I love the Glint app. Things that need to improve is there day delay between selling you gold or silver and the funds arriving in your glint wallet.  You should also be able to shift silver to gold and vice versa without having to convert to cash first.
Also the fee for the purchases on top of the 1% charge is way too high! I do love the way they provide a debit card to spend your gold asset the same way you would fiat currency.
However it would be nice if there was a way to do the same with silver rather than just gold.

Also would be nice if they showed the percentage gain/loss on your precious metal purchases.

### 2/5 — Fees

*2025-12-04, version 3.4.10*

Ridiculous transfer withdraw and monthly vault fees. They charge “vault fees” every month, 0.9% sell fee, buy fee, currency conversion fees. Incremental gains from this are quickly canceled out by the service fees which don’t seem very justified or clearly stated in a non user agreement manner

### 5/5 — Liquid REAL asset access

*2025-11-10, version 3.4.9*

I love how glint allows me to park my liquid funds in gold and silver. I would rather have it sitting here than in my checking account. It allows me to have exposure but benefit from the liquidity.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2025-10-19, version 3.4.9*

I don’t know why everyone isn’t using this app.  It makes Gold easy to stack, with it safely custodied in a Swiss bank vault.  It removes the risk of having physical gold in your home.  It solves the issue of gold being an illiquid asset, by letting you have a debit card tied to your gold which you can freely spend.

### 5/5 — Nick Scott

*2025-10-12, version 3.4.8*

Wonderful product, simple to use, very cost effective to protect the value of money by easily saving in gold while being able to readily access this money.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2025-09-29, version 3.4.7*

Love everything except the fact you can’t use silver on debit card to make purchases, also a lot of fees going in and out of accounts on the app. I have less fees when I buy direct metals.

### 5/5 — Please add a price alert‼️

*2025-08-16, version 3.4.5*

Please add a price alert ‼️ and also , add a feature where I can set a gold price , and if the gold price is reach then Glint process the transaction by taking the money from GBP wallet. This is critical

### 5/5 — Please add a price alert‼️

*2025-07-17, version 3.4.4*

Please add a price alert ‼️ and also , add a feature where I can set a gold price , and if the gold price is reach then Glint process the transaction by taking the money from GBP wallet. This is critical

### 3/5 — Hmm

*2025-06-12, version 3.4.1*

The app has an absolutely beautiful user interface, but the user experience has been a bit annoying.

### 5/5 — Maz

*2025-06-06, version 3.4.1*

I have been using this app for a while and extremely satisfied with its functionality.

### 5/5 — Glint - Great Functionality - at a Low Cost

*2025-06-05, version 3.4.1*

I setup my Glint account 4 years ago.  I find buying gold to be straight forward and the premium very low.  Gold is allocated and stored in Swiss vaults.

I have interacted with support staff initially on 2 or three occasions and have found their staff to be well informed and highly motivated to provide fast responses.

The APP is simple and straight forward.  

My desire/goal was to protect my current bank USD fiat funds from debasement by transferring them into gold and silver bullion.  

I have most of my account in gold and silver bullion but keep a small amount in USD for small monthly vaulting fees.  

My card is set to make purchases out of only cash, not gold or silver.  This keeps my Internet fraud potential loss at a minimum if my Glint debit card was compromised lost or stolen.  It is limited to the $100 I keep in cash.

This account is real savings.  In today’s economy.  While I do not consider it to be an investment in the long term, it has outperformed all of my other investments in real estate, equities, fiat cash.  Gold and silver are a hedge against debasement of various domestic and foreign currencies.

I guess you can say that I am a very satisfied Glint customer.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2025-05-13, version 3.4.0*

Outside of the signup / verification process, this is the best user experience I’ve ever had, in fiat, cryptocurrency, or anything. The UI is absolutely perfect.

### 1/5 — They don't issue refunds.

*2026-06-23, version 3.6.1*

A ridiculous app that doesn't even deserve one star. Initially, payments were made within 3 business days, but now it takes 5 business days. It's been 10 business days for me and I still haven't received my money. I'm withdrawing all my money and will delete the app. I absolutely do not recommend using it. The decision is yours.

### 1/5 — Paywall entry

*2026-03-11, version 3.5.1*

yeah im not putting money in the app if i can’t see what the app looks like first.

### 1/5 — Complete scam

*2025-12-30, version 3.4.10*

Company is nothing but a fraud. They get all your personal info data,verify it THEN tell you oops it’s not good. Then they email you telling you your acct has been ceased and if you like you can start all over AGAIN…… I’m pretty sure they KEEP all your data and use it or sell it on the dark web or black market.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-11-13, version 3.4.10*

I would give this app a half star if it was available. Once they have your money they deduct an amount of your metal every month. I feel this was a rip off and I feel taken advantage of. Besides that they have hidden fees. Don’t do it

### 1/5 — Terrible experience

*2025-11-10, version 3.4.9*

Glint uses a shady bank as a clearing intermediary. The act of linking my checking account blew up my online banking due to suspected fraudulent activity. Excessive waiting for funds and changes to account make this a frustrating experience. Now that I’m trying to get my money back they want screenshots of my bank statements and other info that makes me feel uncomfortable. It was super easy to give them money but not nearly as easy to get it back.

### 1/5 — Fees

*2025-04-13, version 3.3.0*

Fees keep going up and doubled recently.  Plus monthly storage fees.  Not good especially in a bull market where they charge a percentages.

### 1/5 — Terrible Terrible

*2025-02-17, version 3.2.6*

It’s been years I have yet to get inside my account and I can’t even use it , all that customer service no one picks up the phone and they take years to email back, just terrible service

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work

*2024-11-04, version 3.2.2*

Error with SMA code every time I try log on or create new account. SMS code is “expired” no matter what. No where to get support

### 1/5 — SCAM ALERT!

*2024-09-22, version 3.1.9*

This app is a scam, stay away at all cost!

### 1/5 — Not so Good!

*2024-06-12, version 3.1.6*

I have been trying to make contact with someone at this institution and with all my efforts, none. Further, I have sent numerous emails to the so called support team to have my address updated. NO LUCK! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

### 5/5 — Great Idea and basic structure but…. Not convenient.

*2026-07-17, version 3.7.1*

I absolutely love this app. Don’t get me wrong. This platform is amazing but taking up to seven days or more to do a simple transfer or not being able to get out of a lot of ATMs. Yeah only certain banks it’s complicated. Also, the having to be a US citizen or UK or European Union citizen is a bit stressful. Meaning Americans without a Social Security number would have to pay x-ray to get an individual taxpayer ID.
Also, when I sell something, I don’t want it to be pending all weekend or even during the week if it’s over a certain amount I want to get my money and get it out or move it to the next place. This is my core for liquidity It needs to act as a liquidity tool. Also, I think they should eliminate the fees for transactions or eliminate the fee for just having an account or slash them both in half. Wright pick one or the other keep the transaction fees eliminate the just holding fees.

### 5/5 — Best wealth building tool

*2026-03-19, version 3.5.2*

I have been with Glint for years (2021) best decision ever safe sound custody but as metals have gone up I use card for groceries and with growth my food is nearly free!!

### 5/5 — Dr T

*2026-02-25, version 3.5.0*

I have enjoyed saving and spending through Glint using Gold as a currency. The App is flexible easy to use and I thoroughly recommend it,

### 5/5 — Silver gold investment made easy

*2026-02-10, version 3.4.12*

I love the Glint app. Things that need to improve is the 3 day delay between selling you gold or silver and the funds arriving in your glint wallet.  You should also be able to shift silver to gold and vice versa without having to convert to cash first.

Would be a fantastic feature if they added the ability to set buy and sell price points so you could buy and sell at set price points with money already in your glint cash balance
Also the fee for the purchases on top of the 1% charge is way too high! I do love the way they provide a debit card to spend your gold asset the same way you would fiat currency.
However it would be nice if there was a way to do the same with silver rather than just gold.

Also would be nice if they showed the percentage gain/loss on your precious metal purchases.

### 5/5 — Real money digitized

*2026-01-20, version 3.4.10*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Digital Gold & Silver

*2026-01-16, version 3.4.10*

This app is awesome !! Buy Gold & Silver,.. hold or spend your profits sometimes at the gas station or wherever. Why pay restocking fees or 20% or more at a pawn shop or wherever. Unless there’s no electricity you are good to go. Even if that happens,.. who is going to take silver or gold at a gas station or grocery store ? Nobody !! Unless we are in a MadMax movie situation lol 😂 Get this app and step into the 21rst century. Welcome.

### 5/5 — Love it!
