Has anyone used Glint. It sounds interesting. It’s a gold based Mastercard.

A Bing search seems to indicate possibilities that it is not totally legitimate.

I have not, but I just recently heard about it on a monetary metals podcast. I am pretty sure I heard that it is not yet a USA product.

I did enjoy listening to the podcast for what it was though.

This seems to have a lot of credible detail regarding it:

They went bankrupt 3-4 years ago and everyone's accounts were frozen.

They are back after being recapitalized.

The good news is that no one lost any gold, so it seems their allocated gold model was legit. One always wonders until its tested.
