TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug. 31, 2016) - Goldmoney Inc. (TSX:XAU), a financial technology company operating a global, 100%-reserved gold-based financial network, today introduced a new closed-loop network integration that enables instant gold redemption and expedites direct-to-bank value settlement for 87 countries and 44 currencies, accelerating global commercial transactions and supporting small business growth. Goldmoney Personal and Business users can now redeem gold balances to supported local currencies instantly and receive value settlement denominated in local currencies within 48 hours for a fee of only one percent.

"We're continuously strengthening our partnerships and improving the functionality of the Goldmoney network making it one of the most efficient methods for global transactions. With this new integration, we're making personal and business global gold payments and redemptions faster and easier than ever before," said Darrell MacMullin, CEO, Goldmoney Personal and Business.
