We are all aware that gold holds a special place in every Indian household. It is considered a symbol of security. However, the way to save money for the future has been evolving with time. Now, it is handy to purchase or sell pure gold anytime, anywhere. That means, you don’t actually have to step into a jewellery shop. Digital gold is the safer, smarter, and more convenient way to start your gold savings journey.
Today’s goal is to unveil digital gold vs traditional gold…. Let’s check it out.
What is EG Gold?
EG gold is the 24K digital gold you buy on the EG Payment App. This trusted application offers you two ways to buy gold – Gold SIP or a One-time purchase.
Digital Gold-SIP: You can set a daily, weekly, or monthly gold SIP starting from as low as ₹10.
One-Time Gold Purchase: In this option, you can purchase as much gold as you require. You can buy as much as you want, from anywhere.
Both of the options allow you to purchase 24K gold at the current market price. The gold is 100% safe and secure because it is in the authorized locker. There is 100% transparency and you can always check the real time value of your gold, and sell it whenever you want.
Difference between Digital Gold and Traditional Gold
Let’s break down how traditional and digital gold actually compare.
| Buying Method | Buy from a jeweller or bank | Buy instantly through apps like EG Payment |
| Minimum Amount | Usually in grams or jewellery form | Start from just ₹10 |
| Storage | Needs lockers, insurance | Stored safely in insured vaults |
| Purity Check | Has to be verified manually | Guaranteed 24K, 99.9% pure |
