Did you know you can send Gold via WhatsApp? Here is how

WhatsApp has turned out to be more than a messaging platform. It allows you to exchange media, make video calls, subscribe to news, check business catalogues and now, also to make payments. But, did you know that you can also use WhatsApp to send Gold? There are several options to buy or invest in digital gold. One such platform is SafeGold.  

SafeGold offers a gold accumulation plan for customers who wish to buy and accumulate gold without worrying about safe keeping of the metal. It has partnered with investment platforms like Paytm and PhonePe to provide digital gold.  

Along with this, the platform also allows WhatsApp users to send money to their contacts. Here's how it works: 

How to gift gold? 

Log in to your account and click on the Gift option on the dashboard 

Enter the recipient’s mobile number and amount of gold you wish to gift. 

Also add any message or sticker you’d like to add for the occasion.  

If you haven’t purchased gold yet, you’ll need to buy some gold before you choose to make your first gift. 

You cannot gift gold to yourself. 

How will the recipient get gold? 

The recipient of the gold will be sent an SMS with a link to redeem the gold during a stipulated time period. The recipient can login with his SafeGold account and claim the gold within that time period. You can send a link to him or her through WhatsApp or any other messaging platform, which will lead the recipient to the gift. 

SafeGold also allows to send gold to a person who does not have a SafeGold account via a link. The recipient will need to enter the mobile number on which the gift was sent to, and the OTP sent access the gold which has been gifted to claim the gold.
