Jason Cozens Reveals How Glint is Disrupting The Traditional Gold Market

In our latest FF News Studio interview, we had the pleasure of talking to Jason Cozens, Founder & CEO of Glint. Glint is revolutionizing the way people access and use gold as an alternative to traditional banking and payments.

“When I first came across the reason for setting up Glint, it was because in 2008 I saw the global financial crisis, [and] for the first time [it] made me realize that a bank isn’t a risk-free deposit of funds. We came hours away from [really] the whole financial system just completely breaking down.”

“We’ve enabled gold as money in everyday payments with the Glint app and the Glint MasterCard. It’s acceptable anywhere in the world. So I literally pay for everything, including my taxi here today with gold. I’m on my own personal gold standard.”
