Augmont has sold over 2000 KG of Gold coins and jewelry in FY 2018-19 alone through its partner platforms. Augmont’s digi-gold product allows customers to buy gold for as low as Re 1 and lets them accumulate their bullion investments over a period of time. There’s also the game-changing option of SIP, bringing the best of traditional and modern together. Whenever the investor wishes to encash the investment, they have to simply choose a gold product from a variety of coins and get it safely delivered right to their doorstep. This is done at live market prices and comes with the Best Price Guarantee. Until then, Augmont secures the gold in robust third-party vaults that are monitored by IDBI Trusteeship Services. What’s more, buyers can also choose to gift or sell the gold back to Augmont using the app.
