From their About page:
Our mission is to make gold accessible and useful in digital payments and secure savings.
We're advancing the digital payments revolution by helping people securely acquire, store, and now spend gold with unprecedented simplicity. Accounts are free and can be opened in minutes. We provide users with a secure vault account to purchase and hold gold, the ability to make and receive instant gold payments, and a prepaid card for spending gold at traditional points of sale. Through our network of ATM's customers can fund their accounts with local-currency. All gold is fully redeemable as 1kg Bullion Bars or 10g GoldCubes®
