First, you need to download the Qenta app from the Apple or Google Play Stores. Then, you will be prompted to register for your Qenta account. You will need to provide your email and country/state of residence as it appears on your government issued ID.
There are a few reasons why you might consider including gold in their portfolio:
- Diversification: Gold tends to have a low or negative correlation with other asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. This means that gold can potentially help to diversify an investment portfolio and reduce the overall volatility of returns.
- Inflation hedge: Gold is sometimes seen as a hedge against inflation because it tends to retain its value over time, even when the purchasing power of paper currencies declines.
- Safe haven: During times of economic or political uncertainty, gold is sometimes viewed as a safe haven asset because it is widely recognized and accepted as a store of value.
It’s important to note that gold is not a risk-free investment and can fluctuate in value. As with any investment, it’s important to do your own research and carefully consider your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and overall financial situation before deciding whether to invest in gold. Qenta does not provide tax, investment, or legal advice or advisory services.
 | Because gold prices often do not trade in the same direction as the stock market, some compare buying gold to buying insurance. You may not need it, but it may be beneficial in some circumstances. |
| This diversification means that under normal market conditions gold prices may have low correlation to most asset classes and in times of stress, such as during “tail events” and financial crises, gold prices’ correlation may be negative. |
| Gold may protect against the wealth decay of inflation and currency devaluation. |
| There is no credit risk associated with owning physical gold. |
| The drivers behind gold supply and demand tend to be independent of, and sometimes opposed to, other traditional reserve assets (like currencies, securities, and bonds), making physical gold an effective diversifier for investment portfolios. |
Everything you need to know about the price of gold in the Qenta App and any fees associated with your account
In the gold market, and in financial markets in general, the difference between the buy price and the sell price is known as the “bid-ask spread”. It is the amount by which the Buy Price is greater than the Sell Price. This spread is how we cover our costs and make a profit.
The responsibly sourced gold (Responsible Gold™), purchased on the Qenta App is currently not redeemable for physical gold. However, in the near future we will update the list of countries where this service becomes available.
There will be no additional cost for the redemption of a kilobar (1,000 grams) however if redemption is required in smaller denominations, then 10 gram bars will be available at a manufacturing cost of 5%. In all cases shipping charges will be at the cost of the redeemer. You will be able to request the physical redemption of your gold through the Qenta App once the service is available in your country.
You can sell your gold or cash out at any time, 24/7 via PayPal or ACH or Swift bank transfer, and Payoneer (*coming soon) at the latest or real-time market price of gold.

G-Mint S.à.r.l., a Swiss limited company (“G-Mint”), acts as your bailee for the gold associated with your purchases on the Qenta App. In such capacity, G-Mint keeps the gold in safe deposit with one of the licensed gold storage facilities for the benefit of each gold owner. In order to ensure G-Mint’s continued financial viability, G-Mint collects storage fees directly from each Qenta wallet, which are used to cover the cost of storing and insuring your gold.
