What we do
HelloGold is a start-up that is looking to make gold accessible to everyone. Our mobile app was launched less than 6 months ago and it’s already changing the way Millenials save. But we want to do more, with new products and new Asian markets in the pipeline. We are strategic partners of Aeon Credit Services (Malaysia) and backed by The Finlab – a JV between UOB and the Singaporean Government.
Why we do
Financial inclusion
At HelloGold we believe that Gold protects your savings, so we’ve made it our mission that everyone should have access to it in an affordable and secure way.
In the personal words of Robin Lee, CEO: "I worked in Malaysia during the Asian financial crisis and I saw at first-hand how “bad things can happen to good people” at no fault of their own. In the case of the 1997 crisis, the man in the street saw their domestic currencies hit by extreme devaluation – in the case of both the Thai baht and the Malaysian ringgit, this was in excess of 50%; in Indonesia, the rupiah went from 2,600 to the dollar to over 14,000 to the dollar. For someone in Malaysia who was earning the equivalent of US$1,500 a month, he woke up one morning earning the equivalent of $700 a month with a devastating effect on how he could provide for his family. The inequitable impact of these events on the people who were least able to fend themselves and their families left a lasting impression in my mind. Personally, this is why I'm building HelloGold."
