Kara Gold

Discover the nature, storage and security of the gold you hold on Kara

Nature of Kara gold

The gold you hold on Kara is physical gold with a purity of 999.9‰ (24 carats).

On the Kara app, it is fractionalised and displayed in grams to facilitate buying, selling and transferring, but it always corresponds to physical gold stored on your behalf.

Shared gold tokens

The grams you own are part of a pooled gold token stock. These tokens are 24-carat gold coins (999.9‰), allocated to purchases made on the platform. You therefore own grams of gold distributed across the coins stored in our vaults.

Storage

Your gold is physically stored in Switzerland, in a secure Helveticor vault in Zurich, through our partner Godot & Fils (established since 1933).

The storage benefits from the highest level of security: 24/7 surveillance, restricted access zones and regular audits.

Security & insurance

All the gold is fully insured against theft, loss and damage by Godot & Fils' partner insurers. This insurance covers 100% of the value of the stored gold.

Traceability & ownership

At any time, you can:

  • download a purchase or holding certificate;
  • request the physical delivery of gold coins (minimum 5 g) at a Godot & Fils branch.

Direct access to the vault is not possible: you cannot withdraw gold in raw form from the reserve. Any physical collection is done exclusively through the delivery of gold coins (minimum 5 g) operated and secured by Godot & Fils.
