Auratus introduces a new Gold standard for individuals and global merchants through its global TAS Card & Business
Helvetic Digital Finance AG today announced the launch of TAS Card Individual and TAS Business Accounts for merchants, at the event in Hong Kong.
The only gold-based payment solution and gold savings platform, which has transformed the global cross-border payment experience by enabling business owners, freelancers, and sole proprietors to request and accept business, such as consumer payments in vaulted-gold bullion, enabling instant cross-border value settlement and reducing risks and delays in global gold commerce.
“We’ve upgraded the underlying infrastructure and transformed the process-flow to a new gold standard that optimizes cross-border payments” says Vice President of Sales Asia, Terry Lee.
Traditional payment systems and regional currencies are laden with friction, delays, and high cross-border processing fees when exchanging value in an increasingly connected and global marketplace. TAS Individual & Business Accounts, has optimized global gold commerce by reducing friction of value exchange in cross-border payments and enabling merchants to seamlessly use vaulted-gold bullion as a universal and efficient payment rail.
The new technology includes a suite of payment applications that will include invoicing, payroll, e-commerce and checkout solutions. TAS Business Accounts makes global business and consumer payments, using gold, simple and cost-effective. Built on a highly scalable infrastructure, the Switzerland-born platform now allows merchants to transact to and from 160 countries, in more than 40 currencies globally, in gold, for near to positive processing fee.
“We want to accelerate business growth by making it easy to request and accept payments, including micropayments, around the world instantly using a secure, closed-loop network,” said Vice President of Sales Asia, Terry Lee.
“In our view, every business should only have to consider two forms of money when accepting payment for a transaction – a local currency integrated, with their local banking system, and gold, historically the world’s most recognized, stable and best performing global money”
Auratus’s global network is empowering merchants and individuals, through it’s TAS Card, who might otherwise be limited by their location. This advance reduces the fees and costs traditionally associated with gold, through handling, security, transportation of gold, creating the “hassle” experienced in ‘foreign’, when foreign exchange happens. Helvetic Digital Finance technology utilizes a ‘hub and spoke’ model for cross-border payment flows, with vaulted-gold enabling low-risk and low-volatility settlement options for all transactions.
Auratus’s closed-loop network of TAS Card enables instant value- settlement of any transaction into vaulted gold. Businesses can easily settle back to a local currency or bank account, or push supplier payments and payroll out anywhere in the world.
“We’ve upgraded the underlying infrastructure and transformed the process-flow to a new gold standard giving new meaning to THE AURATUS STANDARD when talking about the choice of name, TAS. This upgraded infrastructure optimizes cross-border payments, in gold bullion,” said, CEO of TAS Helvetic Gold Trading LLC, J.B. Tukhtam . “We’re obsessed with injecting efficiencies into global commerce, so we created a better way for people, and now businesses too, to take advantage of the benefits of using gold safely and securely using our network.”
The AURATUS platform decreases volatility and enables payments in gold, the world’s best performing currency, which won’t be impacted by exchange rates, fees or inflation.
Suite of Payment Solutions – Earn. In Gold.
The TAS Business Accounts provides merchants with access to a suite of tools that make global payments easy and efficient, using gold. Customers can pay securely via TAS Card, or bank transfer, from any currency, and send gold as payment. Merchants can retain the gold to store earnings securely, transfer to pay suppliers, instantly settle to a verified bank account, or spend with the TAS Card PrePaid MasterCard, VISA or Union PAY.
Auratus international customers can enjoy a completely customizable back office profile CRM account, in the currency of their choice. Approved customers purchase Gold securely via TAS Card, or bank transfer from any currency for almost zero fee, and send the gold value as payment, never sharing their financial information.
Any gold transaction made through the Auratus / TAS Card platform can be transparently tracked through the in-house developed G/TAS global scanner.
