providers of physical bullion for retail investors, is now able to
offer residents of Canada online identity verification through Equifax
Canada, which enables them to open a GoldMoney Holding account entirely
online and transfer funds within 20 minutes. The ID verification service
is being provided by Equifax Canada, the consumer verification expert,
and is an expansion of the existing offering, which has been a success
for GoldMoney customers in the US and UK.
“GoldMoney???s online system enables customers resident in Canada to
sign-up online and buy gold, silver and platinum from the comfort of
their home, without paying the high premiums for coins and small bars”
Geoff Turk, GoldMoney???s CEO, said: ???The sign-up process combines
efficiency with Equifax Canada???s state-of-the-art security. Customers
are able to start funding their Holding within minutes.???
GoldMoney has continued to develop the simplicity of opening
a Holding after making it an entirely online process for residents
of the 29 ???fast-tracked??? countries, including Canada, UK, USA, Germany
and Australia. Scanned identity verification documents can be directly
uploaded through the website, in contrast with regular verification
procedures requiring a paper-based application and the need to post
documents.
