Is Kinesis Money trustworthy?
A digital platform can easily say 'your gold is safe'. We explain how — and where you can check it yourself. This is not marketing; it is a list of facts with names, refs and links to public reports.
01 — Audit
Independently inspected twice a year.
The physical gold and silver in the vaults is inspected twice a year by Inspectorate International, part of Bureau Veritas — the global inspection firm that also audits commodities, refineries and central-bank vaults. The latest audit report (October 2025) is publicly available at kinesis.money/audits.
Between the half-yearly audits, the digital records are verified monthly against the physical balance in the vault — a statement that the two match. Both the audit reports and these monthly checks are public.

02 — Supervision
Registered under the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.
Kinesis Cayman is registered as a Virtual Asset Service Provider — a provider of digital-asset services — under the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (reference 1877923). That authority supervises anti-money-laundering practices, KYC procedures and business operations. The Cayman Islands is a Tier-1 financial centre where most international hedge funds are also based.
For that reason, services are not available to residents of the United Kingdom — there the FCA has required additional licences that Kinesis does not yet hold. For Dutch users, no additional restrictions apply to the basic account.
03 — Ownership
No debt claim. Your gold is literally yours.
Most 'digital gold' products are debt claims: you have a claim on the company, and the company promises to return physical gold to you. In the event of bankruptcy, you stand in line with the creditors.
Kinesis works with allocated bullion — assigned, physical gold that is serialised in your name in the vault. One KAU token represents one gram of physical gold with 99.99% purity (LBMA standard); one KAG represents one ounce of physical silver with 99.9% purity. This holding is not on the Kinesis balance sheet — in the event of a bankruptcy of the platform, your metal remains your property and a liquidator cannot distribute it to creditors.
From 100 grams of gold (or 200 ounces of silver) you can have your holdings physically delivered to your door via Brink's or Loomis Zurich. No redemption fees beyond the standard shipping costs; no waiting time because the metal is already there.
04 — Vaults
Thirteen vault locations. Two leading security firms.
The physical metal is held across 13 vault locations worldwide, managed by Brink's and Loomis Zurich. These are the two largest private vault operators in the world; they also hold reserves for central banks and bullion banks. Every vault is climate-controlled, physically secured and insured by the standard bullion insurers in the market.

Background
Built on a decade of bullion infrastructure.
Kinesis did not appear out of nowhere. The platform runs on the pricing infrastructure of Allocated Bullion Exchange (ABX), founded in 2011. ABX is an institutional exchange where large bullion dealers, refineries and banks have traded gold and silver under wholesale terms for years. Because Kinesis sits directly on that infrastructure, all users — including those who buy 1 gram — get access to the same prices as large buyers.
Alongside the pricing infrastructure, Kinesis runs its own 5,600 m² mint and refineryfor producing gold and silver bars to LBMA standard. The combination of in-house refining, Brink's/Loomis vaults and the ABX market price makes the chain from bullion to user payout fully in-house.
At government level, Kinesis is publicly integrated with the Indonesian state postal company PT Pos (point-of-sale payments via the POS Pay integration) and the Jakarta Futures Exchange. Both partnerships are described in the Indonesia case studies at kinesis.money/governments.
