Agree, but, the fee charged by HG is high, without the "sponsorship" from Boost, really will lose out...

From my understanding.. Boost only start charging next year (based on this web link.

Since they removed the add cash option. Shouldn't they remove the 5x transaction limit on Boost transactions also?

The rounding of the gold in your HelloGold account that you see is actually for displaying the figure in-app. If you bought 0.0049 g of gold, you will have 0.0049 g of gold.

What you means that HelloGold round down to 4 decimal place in system? rather then 3 decimal place?
However, I only can see all transactions in 3 decimal place round down inside the apps. If really 4 decimal space, HelloGold apps should display exact figure up to 4 decimal place.

Good morning. We do not round up or down. We truncate to 3 decimal places to be displayed in the HelloGold app. As an example... if you hold 1.22652233444337895 g of gold, what you would see in the HelloGold app would be 1.226 g displayed. However, you would actually have 1.22652233444337895 g of gold in your account. I hope this helps.

Great information! Now we know is not round up/down on the gold we purchased. tongue.gif

Again, as mentioned before, gold is not the way to go for a quick buck or gaming. It is more for long term savings. We are not a gaming nor a casino business/app.

The gold you buy is physically stored in a vault and we have evidence to prove it by way of the customer list and the gold bar list. The gold bar list is on our vault partner official website, Bullionstar International, hence there is no way for us to fabricate that data. Please see Here

If you would like, we can arrange for you to visit Bullionstar and they can show you the gold we hold. When would you like to visit the vault in Singapore? Do let us know and we will be happy to accommodate.

The Administrative fee of 2% per year is for safe keeping of your gold, 100% insured physical gold storage. This fee also covers the audit done by an LBMA approved auditor, Bureau Veritas. If you would like, of course you can keep the physical gold with you. We provide customers with the choice either to hold their gold or to allow us to hold it for them for a small fee. We do not 'bake' any hidden fees into a spread. We are transparent with all our fees.

As for redeeming the physical bar, of course there would be additional charges such as the cost of making of smaller bars, courier and insurance for the courier. The price we display in our app is based on the price from the gold market and we can offer our customers at that price as we buy in 1 KG bars. We pass on that savings to our customers as we fractionalize the gold. You may check with other retailers on how much they would charge you for a PAMP Suisse physical bar and you will notice that it is not at the gold market price.

The main difference between HelloGold and many other gold retailers is that we allow you to buy in smaller fractions, as low as Rm1, and accumulate your wealth in gold for you to either sell or physically redeem the bar.

If you would like, do drop me a DM with your contact number and I would be happy to speak to you in detail about HelloGold and what our business is about.

Thank you

Just received RM10 worth of gold from this promo from HG.
Bought RM200 worth of gold on 15-Jan (RM203.41 per gram).

Now per gram is RM214.66.  thumbsup.gif

Why on $10 (0.046g)? I brought 2x200...
Should it be $20 (0.046g*2=0.092g)?

I check again .....

Early after 225 by that time I buy in now become 228.

I also think about it, but reversed back because the fees is high and also needs to take risk.
If buy at 225, you only start to gain when the gold reaching 231++ sad.gif

QUOTE(!@#$%^ @ Mar 20 2020, 10:21 AM)
yes, i mean HG claimed all purchases are backed by physical gold before this. shouldn't affect existing holders prior to the gold shortage? or did i read wrongly?
*
Agreed. HG should implemented higher rate on buy to restrict people people from buying as they have shortage of physical gold.
Why imposed higher rate on sell without even notify clients!

What I can see is HG tried to trick clients to buy, and imposed higher hidden cost on sell (as when you click sell the hidden high transaction fees was not displayed, unless we click on "?" to view the transaction information).
It look like SCAM!

QUOTE(robincflee @ Mar 20 2020, 10:43 AM)
If any customer wants to redeem/sell their gold, it is always available to be redeemed/sold. The issue is that the price changes all the time. In this case, the physical price is now at a premium to the spot.

As I said earlier, we take the quote from our supplier now because of the dislocation (just as before, we took the quote from the spot market). For example, if gold was at RM100/RM102 and you bought at RM102. And when you sell in x months time, it is at RM150/152, you sell at RM152 and another at RM100. This is still the same situation except that there is a dislocation in the physical price and we have to switch to that. Because when you sell the gold back to us, we sell it back to the supplier
*
You still haven't explain why imposed hidden fees on SELL since we already purchased the gold before the premium fees imposed by your supplier?
Furthermore, we also paying 2% annual fees to maintain the gold in vault, which you claimed that you already purchased the gold and kept it in vault. Therefore the additional buy fees imposed by your supplier should not pass it to your clients.

If you really sincere, you should impose higher fees on BUY and not at SELL!

As I believe was explained earlier.

1) The price that we show on the app is the mid-price (half-way between the buy price and the sell price). It now reflects the mid-price of physical gold rather than spot

2) The other issue is that the spread has widened (from 1/2% to as high as 10% earlier in the week). We have had account for this wider spread in the fee note. We are working to make the display clearer
*
I understand spread will be wider because shortage of gold and supplier imposed premium rate on buy.
However, you still not explaining why imposed hidden higher fees on SELL! Since we already brought and already inside your supplier vault!
Unless you are telling us that you running paper gold and only do occasionally buy at your supplier.

Furthermore, based BullionStar information, they only imposed premium rate on BUY! Not at SELL!
They even encourage client to SELL, so that they will have more physical gold. Moreover, they also giving additional bonus gold rate on SELL (which means, higher return on SELL for client!).
However, HG doing the vice versa.

oh my gosh, 5.8% plus 2% is too much..

Actually when i brought HG, I dont realize the problem till i dispose all the gold.. The returns seems squeezed and reduced much due to the transaction fee.

So not yet sell, no one will realize the problem..
*
Now more look sense, buy putting 5.8% BUY and 2% on SELL. I believe they only changed in a few mins ago.
Previously it was set between 1.49% to 3% on BUY, and 5.8% on SELL, which is really unfair on existing customer that already owned the gold.
