Eying the precious metal segment, Amazon Pay recently started allowing users to purchase digital gold on its platform. While existing players like Paytm, MobiKwik, and PhonePe allow you to buy gold for Re 1, Amazon Pay has kept the minimum amount at Rs 5.
Digital gold is essentially an avenue for investing in physical gold. Terence Lucien, head of mutual funds and gold, PhonePe, said: “While the purchase is done digitally, our partners actually hold 24-carat pure physical gold for every purchase made by a customer.” These platforms have made it easy for customers to start accumulating gold by investing small amounts. They also take care of purity-related concerns.
