A great wee app

Been using Tally for 5-6 months now & have been pleasantly surprised (& looking at what the price of gold was when Tally first started, I REALLY wish I’d got into all this at the very beginning - I would’ve FINALLY been able to afford my first house). Better late than never though… I love Tally when the rate goes up - not quite as keen when the price of gold goes down lol. The only thing I’d request for your next update is to have your percentage Gains thingy at the top right of the screen automatically update rather than having to constantly refresh the page to keep up 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks so much for the great review and for being with Tally these past few months! 💛 Really appreciate the feedback about the percentage gains refresh too, suggestions like this help us improve the app, and we’ll pass it on to the team. Thanks again for your support -Team Tally

Used intelligently, can be better than a bank account…

This is an interesting one, think of it as an unlimited interest rate on money invested in Gold via Tally Money.

We have reached out to Tally Money and asked for the app to refresh automatically set by the user - the preferred update frequency. As far as I know it only updates when you manually refresh or recently signed in.

Awesome customer support and you even get a debit card to spend, however your card spending limit is limited. If you’re loaded, you might need to think of a plan b, when you want to make large purchases.

Mr Matt

I love Tally money I think it is a brilliant idea and I really enjoy using Tally ! It is fun to think you are paying for things in gold rather than pounds. I am also very excited and impressed with the unreleased gains , I love watching the % moving up and down but obviously it is great to watch it go up through out the day. I am so pleased I now have a Tally account and very pleased with my friend who introduced you to me. I have also got other friends to sign up with you also. Thank you Tally what a brilliant idea.

Interesting Strategy

I had been thinking about using gold as a means of offsetting inflationary… Stuff eating into my savings. Granted, I only put in little bits at a time - it’s nice to know there’s a means of getting some of the inert metal that seems to keep value over time. Kind of wish I knew about this a while back - but it’s good to have. And it comes with a card - so if I am stuck for a few quid, I can always nibble into the reserves, which is nice.

Excellent Alternative to Banks

For a long time, I’ve been looking for a safe and practical way to own gold bit by bit — not just as an investment, but as a genuine alternative to traditional banking. I was delighted to discover TallyMoney, which makes saving in physical gold simple and accessible.
I love the concept of holding real value, outside the control of the banking system, and being able to use it just like money. It feels like a modern yet secure way to protect my savings. I truly hope TallyMoney continues to live up to its promise of safety and independence, and that it remains a strong alternative as the world moves toward digital currencies like CBDCs.
So far, I’m very happy with my experience and excited to see how this evolves.

Great alternative who believe in value of gold in fiat system

Great idea. For long term investment. Great that technically you own physical gold instead of just another ETF tracking the price. Supplied card not always recognised at ATM/shops so just in case have cash/another card. Would be great if gold lending option would be available to reduce storage charges. Also having option to diversify to other precious metals(or even rare earths) would be good in longer term. Also some promotional stuff available to get/purchase(yellow umbrellas, key rings etc) would be good:) would be good if you could add other precious metals and option to loan gold..

Appreciate it! We’re thrilled you value Tally’s long-term approach and we’ll certainly share your feature ideas with the team. 🙌 –Team Tally

I’m really happy with my Tally Account

I was one of the early adopters for this account and have been really happy since I opened it 3 years ago. I can spend with my Tally card in the same way I would with any other bank card. Gold goes up and down in price short term, but long term the trend is always upwards. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to inflation proof their day to day spending money or savings. I was skeptical, now I’m just delighted I opened it.

Superbly easy to use

Love this app and the way to hold gold. It’s so easy to add money and view the balances, easy to save and easy to move out to another account… it’s just like a normal bank account minus the direct debits but that’s not a problem at all, it’s great to have more options for my money and being fully insured, means it was a no brainer for me to sign up… which also only took a few minutes.
Superb product.

Thanks a ton for the golden words! Simple, safe, and no-nonsense — just how it should be. Appreciate you being part of the savvy squad! -Team Tally

Everyone should have a Tally Account

Fantastic app.
Tally Money is very easy to use and a brilliant alternative to a bank. Remember the Northern Rock Collapse.
Everyone should open an account and save into it. You are buying real gold. You don’t get interest on your savings but the gold you buy follows the gold price and should return a better rate than a bank. You can even buy a coffee your shopping or anything else using your gold with the debit card that comes with the account. This is a great option to get away from fiat only money.

Hey Octagonalbullet! 🌟 Massive thanks for the fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled you find TallyMoney a brilliant alternative and appreciate its unique gold savings feature. Here's to more golden moments and smooth transactions with us! 💛 Cheers, Team Tally

Innovative and Easy to Use – A Game-Changer in Finance!

Tally Money is a breath of fresh air in the world of banking and savings. The idea of having your money linked to physical gold is not only smart, but it also gives real peace of mind – especially in uncertain economic times. The app itself is clean, intuitive, and easy to navigate, even if you’re new to alternative finance.

Transactions are smooth, account setup is quick, and I love being able to spend and save with real value behind my money. It’s like having a modern bank with the stability of precious metals backing you up.

If you’re looking for more control, transparency, and a hedge against inflation, Tally Money is 100% worth checking out. It’s banking with a forward-thinking twist.

TallyMoney is a Big Scam – Avoid at All Costs

I had an account with TallyMoney for a while, and my experience has been nothing but frustrating. After losing my phone number, I couldn’t access my account anymore, and their customer service was no help at all. Instead of resolving the issue, they told me my funds had "run out" and that I needed to pay fees. This is absolutely ridiculous! I just want to close my account, but even that seems impossible with them.

They claim your money is tied to gold and should increase in value as gold prices go up, but that’s not true. The price of gold has risen, yet my balance never grew—it stayed stagnant or even decreased. It feels like a scam designed to trap you into paying fees while your money disappears.

On top of all this, their support is slow, unhelpful, and frustrating to deal with. I regret ever signing up for TallyMoney and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Save yourself the trouble and stay far away from this company!

Response from developer

Hi there – thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. As a company we really do thrive on delivering great customer service and so if we miss the mark we always own that. Lets start by clearing up a few misunderstandings: The value of gold has increased by over 33% in the past 12 months. Since 1 tally equals 1 milligram of gold, customers with an active balance see their savings' value increase. Our app also includes an unrealised capital gain feature, so you can track exactly how your deposit has grown in gold terms — no mystery, no fluff, just facts. We completely get that losing your phone number is inconvenient. But for security reasons, we can’t just hand over account access without proper verification. That’s how we protect our customers’ money — even if it adds a step. Regarding fees — we’re proud to say our structure is clear and transparent. Tally has: - A monthly account keeping fee of 0.5% p.a. or £3 (whichever is higher) - A 1.49% fee on new deposits We welcome criticism when it’s fair — in fact, it helps us improve — but making false claims is misleading and unfair. If you decide you’d like to come back in future — we’ll be here, welcoming you with open arms, great service, and shiny gold savings. -Team Tally

Amazing Idea

Absolutely brilliant idea, I think people need to do some more research before signing yo judging by the comments below. I have been using for several years.

Your gold is insured through a trustee agreement - the gold is vaulted and in the event Tally go pop, you get 99 percent of the value of your gold paid out. Now if its over 85grand that is more than the UK Governmenr guarantees.

It works, I have made money on my deposits and successfully transferred money back to fiat with the profit. The fees are minimal, albeit if I were only buying 10 pounds worth of gold the account would not be worth it.

Given we are in a race to the bottom by central banks to devalue their currencies, its a no brainer to hold Tally and retain purchase power.

I have had some issues with login recently, I am presuming their will be an update to deal with it.

Other than that, bravo I know of no other bank account like it. Not a scam, as some have alluded to.

Fake reviews.

A superb app. Had a few glitches when I first opened the account 2 years back hover I see they are all ironed out now. Like most companies, they, like any bank, have to careful who they allow to open accounts, having read through some reviews, there would appear to be some very obvious fakes.

If you believe gold is going to be an important part of the world’s monetary system then this is most certainly the app for you.

Liquid Gold

Liquid Gold

Tally now offers the general public a World first to own ‘spendable Gold’. using their MasterCard in the UK & overseas, and the experience is highly positive. Gold is rallying, and with Global trade & manufacturing uncertainty a Global recession is a possibility. The classic safe haven is being sought. Tally could not be launching at a better time in history. The global population has high access to mobile phones, Fiat & Crypto currencies are faltering & Gold maintains its value. So Tally offers everyone a simple way to buy & spend Gold, and be part of an ancient but modern version Global currency.
Furthermore, I’ve been using Tally for over 2 years & I find it very useful, particularly when travelling, as there are no fees or fx commission when buying goods, which saves a considerable amount.

An excellent hedge against inflation and currency volatility

I’ve invested about £1.5k so far into my Tally account. I don’t spend/withdraw from it regularly, personally I’m using it more as a savings account. However now that gold prices are high compared to the pound my balance (in £) has gone up so I’ve started using it for spending as well. The concept of this account is really good and to date am very pleased. Also, the customer service, although online and through email is very good and a Tally advisor has always got back to my queries quickly and has been knowledgeable.

A brilliant idea

Inflation has always had an eroding effect on the value of cash savings. Tally allows you to easily hold cash savings in gold, protecting their value from inflation in the process. What differs from other methods of holding gold is you can easily spend it at home or abroad using their debit card. The app is well designed and easy to use. Missing a star due to semi regular IT issues that make it less reliable to use as a day to day account. Support is brilliant, however, the team respond quickly and professionally to questions. Once it offers Direct Debit and Standing order functionality I will be having my salary paid in and use it as my main account.

One key missing feature

It seems quite good so far (have only deposited £50 so far) however I would really like a feature where you can see a graph of the current and past exchange rate from GBP to Tally and vice-versa (Revolut does this for all the currencies they support), and maybe even other currencies such as Euro to Tally etc. Also something like “notify me when exchange rate is £1 = X amount of Tally” would be incredibly useful, or even to automatically take a pre-specified amount of GBP from my non tally bank account when the exchange rate is a certain amount.

The notification thing is maybe for a bit further down the road but I’d really like to be able to see historical exchange rates in the app instead of having the Google the price of 1mg of gold over the past week/month every time I want to have a look. Also it doesn’t seem as though the live rate updates very often, any chance you could clarify how often the GBP to Tally rates update in the app?

Hey neel7482910! Thanks for the 4 stars and your detailed feedback! 😊 We totally get how useful those features would be. Our team is always looking to improve, so we'll pass your suggestions on.

Avoid like the plague!!

Way too many IT glitches, there are repeated messages from Tally apologising for this and that. Way too risky to put even one cent in here. Also, the way shareholders in Lionsgold have been treated is nothing short of scandalous in my opinion. Lionsgold morphed into Tally. So how can one have any faith whatsoever in any product with that sort of track record. There are better products out there, this is no longer a niche, unique product, the concept is easily replicated. If you want a smooth, easy to use, robust product then look elsewhere and avoid this like the plague. A total disaster! Fabulous concept, very poor execution, service and delivery. I mean very, very, very poor. Actually deserves ZERO stars but, unfortunately, one star is the lowest rating I’m able to award.

Hi, We have had a few issues and we feel it best to voice this to our customers. If you need to discuss any of these in detail please email support@tallymoney.com. There is not another product on the market like Tally as it is a gold backed currency and not a trading app, which allows you to spend it anywhere in the world. As a shareholder you can contact corporate@tallymoney.com to discuss any corporate or shareholder matters and they will be able to help with any questions. Regards Team Tally

Missing important features for serious users

I’ve tried Tally for several months and invested thousands, it works well enough but IMHO has several drawbacks -
1) no visibility as to when a buy or sell will happen, removing the opportunity of being able to play the markets
2) no record in your transaction history (that’s easily visible) to show at what price you paid or even an average over your whole holding. I resorted to taking screen grabs at regular intervals of the balance
3) tried a dialogue with Tally and joining the beta App team but didn’t work well
4) delay on collecting large withdrawals when they contact you manually, but unexpectently , to ask security questions that you can easily answer if you have access to the account. On the plus side the rate was honoured even though gold market had fallen

Response from developer

Hi, We have used your numbering below: 1) As Tally is not a trading app it would be hard to use it the way you seem to want to use it. You are allocated a rate when the transfer in hits our system and when you action a withdrawal, so if the rate changes you get the one you made the transfer at. 2)Each transfer or transaction is allocated a rate which is displayed when you tap on the relative transaction in your transaction list, it will show how much 100 Tally was at that moment. Also, now you can download your statements in PDF format which shows the rate of each transaction in a column. 3)As being part of the beta testing app you would experience a number of different bugs as this is the point we use to weed out as much as we can but sadly can not find everything sometimes. 4)As stated in our FAQs large transfers in or out will go through additional checks as part of our security process which can take up to 2 working days but most are carried out a lot sooner than this. Regards Team Tally

Spend gold instead of money

Brilliant idea. MasterCard banking card that allows you to hold gold instead of money. And spend everywhere that accepts MasterCard. (Pretty much everywhere) Better still you can use abroad and no exchange rate,saving you money. Better to have your money in gold as gold is safe and gives you a better return than holding cash in the bank. Super easy, you just add funds to your Tally MasterCard, which automatically purchases gold (stored in a vault in Switzerland). All insured and regulated. It shows how much gold is held on your account and how much that is worth in pounds clearly. And your good to go. Spend as you would normally in shops. Super sleek. I’ve made money already just having it sat there, as gold price on the up. A new way of banking.
