FinMet.sg Launches a More Affordable Way to Own Physical Gold in Singapore

2026-09-21 13:29 Last Updated At:16:15

Customers can purchase 24 karat 99.99% pure Swiss-made, LBMA accredited gold from one gram, manage their holdings online and request physical delivery or pick-up in Singapore.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FinMet Pte. Ltd. has announced the launch of FinMet.sg, a fully transactional platform created specifically for customers in Singapore who want a simpler way to purchase, own and manage physical gold. FinMet's global presence began in Singapore, and FinMet.sg builds on that foundation with a service designed around how customers in Singapore identify themselves, make payments, store their gold and take delivery. Customers can begin with one gram, monitor their holdings through a clear account experience, buy or sell at any time, and request physical pickup/delivery once their holdings reach 10 grams.

The purpose of FinMet.sg is simple: to remove unnecessary friction from purchasing physical gold without changing what the customer ultimately owns. The platform makes it possible to begin with a smaller quantity, complete purchases online and view holdings through a clear account experience. At every stage, the underlying product remains 24 karat, 99.99% pure, Swiss-made physical gold.

To start purchasing and managing physical gold from just one gram, visit FinMet.sg today.

A Seamless, Secure Purchasing Journey

This approach is intended to make physical gold easier to access and manage for customers who value clarity, convenience and the option of delivery. Rather than requiring customers to begin with a larger bar, complete an entirely offline purchase or arrange storage independently, FinMet.sg brings the principal stages of gold ownership into one online platform designed for use in Singapore. Gold purchased through the platform is professionally vaulted in Singapore, and customers can request physical delivery within Singapore once their holdings reach 10 grams.

The customer journey incorporates services that people in Singapore already use and recognise, including Singpass for identity verification and PayNow for payment. This straightforward online process includes:

  • Accessible Entry: Customers purchase gold in whole-gram quantities, beginning at one gram.
  • Transparent Pricing: Before confirming a transaction, customers review the live price per gram in Singapore dollars and the total amount payable. 
  • Clear Ownership: Once a purchase is completed, legal title to the corresponding physical gold passes to the customer, reflected immediately in their platform balance.
  • Flexible Management: Customers can hold, purchase more, sell through the platform, or request physical delivery within Singapore once their holding reaches 10 grams.

How Does FinMet.sg Make Physical Gold More Affordable?

FinMet.sg's direct-to-consumer model reduces the overheads associated with operating a conventional network of brick-and-mortar stores. These efficiencies are passed on to customers, helping make physical gold more affordable and accessible while retaining professional vaulting and the option of physical delivery or collection.

"We took a customer-first approach to make the buyer's entry into gold ownership the easiest part of the experience," says Anirudh Menon, Co-Founder and CEO of FinMet Technologies.

"Price matters, but affordability should not come at the expense of clear ownership," adds Sunil Kashyap, Managing Director of FinMet Pte. Ltd. "Gold that is identifiable rather than held within an undifferentiated pool gives customers greater clarity over what they own and makes taking physical delivery more straightforward."

Professional Vaulting and Uncompromised Purity

The physical gold is held in the form of 99.99% pure, Swiss-made CombiBars. These physical bullion bars are individually minted into individual one-gram segments that can be separated without reducing their stated metal weight or purity. This structure supports FinMet.sg's whole-gram ownership model while retaining a clear connection between the quantity shown on the platform and the underlying physical asset.

The gold is professionally vaulted in Singapore by Helveticor, an international Swiss-based provider of security logistics, storage and transportation services. Helveticor provides the professional vaulting arrangement, while FinMet.sg provides the website through which customers purchase, view and manage their gold.

Designed for Ease of Use

Ease of use was treated as a product requirement rather than a secondary design consideration. The customer journey was developed to present the essential information clearly, from the quantity and price of a purchase to the customer's current holdings and delivery eligibility.

The team behind FinMet.sg developed the platform with a clear understanding that trust must extend beyond the gold itself to every part of the customer experience. The aim was to create a service that feels straightforward and familiar to people in Singapore, including those purchasing physical gold for the first time.

"This is a platform that I wanted to make sure my mother could use without anyone else's help," says Anirudh Menon, Co-Founder and CEO of FinMet Technologies. "That was my benchmark for success in the user experience."

For customers unfamiliar with physical gold, practical considerations—such as deciding how much to buy, understanding purity, arranging storage, and determining resale options—can make an initial purchase difficult to navigate. FinMet.sg addresses these barriers through a one-gram starting quantity, professional vaulting, and an online management platform.

FinMet Group's leadership brings decades of experience in the global precious metals market.

"Gold has always been trusted. What has been missing is an experience that matches that trust with the standards people now expect from any financial platform. That is what FinMet.sg is built on," noted Sunil Kashyap, Managing Director, FinMet Pte. Ltd.

Commitment to Industry Standards

FinMet follows the Seven Retail Gold Investment Principles developed by the World Gold Council, covering areas such as fairness, transparency, protection of customer assets and regulatory compliance. The company clarifies that adherence to the framework does not amount to certification or endorsement by the World Gold Council.

FinMet Pte. Ltd. is also an Associate Corporate Member of the Singapore Bullion Market Association (SBMA), reinforcing the company's connection to Singapore's professional bullion-market community.

FinMet Pte. Ltd. is registered under Singapore's Precious Stones and Precious Metals Act as a regulated dealer. Regulation by Singapore's Ministry of Law is for anti-money laundering and countering terrorism financing purposes only, and does not constitute product endorsement.

As a precious-metals dealer—not a bank or MAS-licensed financial institution—FinMet does not accept deposits or provide financial advice. Gold prices can fluctuate, and customers should review all applicable terms before completing a transaction.

FinMet.sg Launches a More Affordable Way to Own Physical Gold in Singapore

SHANGHAI, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 17 at HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Huawei released the Huawei AIFW Technical White Paper during the session themed "Solidifying Network Security Foundations to Safeguard Industrial Intelligence Implementation." The White Paper systematically presents the architectural concept and key technologies of next-generation AI firewalls (AIFW) tailored for the AI era. Richard Wu, President of the Security Product Domain of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, and Jeff Wang, President of Huawei Cyber Security & Privacy Dept, jointly attended the launch ceremony.

From Rule-Driven to Intent-Aware: Reshaping Security Defense Logic

As LLMs, AI agents, and compute clusters scale across industries, the cyber threat landscape is fundamentally shifting. Confronted with emerging risks like prompt injection, sensitive data leakage, and compute misuse, traditional rule-matching systems fall short due to delayed rule updates and limited semantic understanding.

According to the White Paper, AIFW integrates AI-native hardware, LLMs, and intelligence and security knowledge bases to shift defense focus from traffic protection to behavior governance. Leveraging full-spectrum awareness, semantic understanding, risk reasoning, and intent recognition, AIFW accurately pinpoints AI-specific risks such as DGA domains, prompt injection, and unauthorized content exfiltration. This marks a transition from rule-driven to intelligence-driven and from static policies to policy autonomy to protect AI computing centers, enterprise AI agents, and LLM operations.

AI-Native Hardware Foundation: Building Native Security Resilience with High Reliability

The White Paper details the AIFW's native hardware architecture. Leveraging hardware-software synergy, performance across post-quantum cryptography, rule matching, and AI inference achieves order-of-magnitude improvements. Featuring 99.999% carrier-grade reliability, the product utilizes hardware decoupling, software isolation, and an engine-level root of trust to deliver robust survivability and rapid recovery. By preventing vulnerability exploitation and establishing native security immunity, it ensures uninterrupted core operations during extreme network attacks or failures.

Policy Autonomy and Intelligent Operations: Advancing Toward Human-Like Closed-Loop Defense

Addressing traditional security operation pain points—such as outdated rules, insufficient synergy, and complex management—AIFW achieves policy autonomy through unified security semantics and intelligent reasoning. The AIFW automatically identifies and remediates policy gaps and dynamically optimizes policies alongside service shifts. This establishes a human-like closed loop across awareness, decision-making, and response, significantly easing the operational burden on enterprises.

Moving forward, Huawei will continue collaborating with customers and partners to build an intelligent, efficient, autonomous, and trustworthy next-generation network security ecosystem.
