SendGold is a fintech company headquartered in Sydney, Australia allowing investors to digitally buy and sell physical gold as well as gift and send physical gold P2P across borders, using a mobile app.[2] SendGold gold bullion is sourced from refiners certified by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), investors have ownership title to the gold but it is stored in secure, independent vaults in Australia on their behalf and insured by Lloyd's of London.[3]

It is the first company in the world to create a Gold-as-a-Service platform, with a suite of Open APIs for distribution partners to integrate a gold investment and currency option into their own offering.[4]
