Banking Features
Deposits
Tally isn’t a cryptocurrency. It functions as mainstream money that can easily be determined when you deposit € or £ into your account. This is done through the prevailing gold price.
The Tally Card
The Tally Card is a debit Mastercard. It is synchronised with the price of gold on the global markets, and the value of your physical holdings of gold bullion (denominated in your account in Tally) is exchanged for fiat currency when spending on your card at home or abroad. When using your Tally Card, there are no added charges, fees, or commissions on the foreign exchange rate.
Savings Growth
All savings are tethered to the value of gold – a tangible asset. Since it is difficult to increase the supply of gold, the value of your Tally savings remains relatively stable. Over the past five years, the value of gold has almost doubled – significantly better than the value of silver. That’s why it’s an inflation-beating safe-haven asset and preferred over fiduciary currency.
Tally Withdrawals
Tally doesn’t charge account holders any fees or commissions to withdraw funds from cashpoints anywhere globally. But those ATMs may charge fees at their discretion. The Tally Card is convenient and easy to use.
Funds Transfers
Customers can quickly process funds transfers between the Tally Everyday Account and their traditional Bank Account. The conversion is determined at the prevailing exchange rate, based on the global wholesale price of gold, regardless of the amount, allowing access to the 1kg bar price for small deposits Your Tally Account is always debited in tally, not fiat currency.
Payments Processing
There are two ways to process payments with Tally. You can pay merchants online or in-store using your Tally Debit Master card or use the Tally App to transfer funds to Tally and non-Tally accounts. For transfers to merchants and traditional banks, the requisite tally is converted into the fiduciary currency that the merchant or individual is expecting. These include but are not limited to GBP, USD, or EUR. Once again, there are no fees, commissions, or other expenses.
Easy Access Safes
Tally makes it easy for customers to set funds aside with up to 3X Easy Access Safes. Customers can transfer funds back and forth between the Everyday Account and the Easy Access Safes. As a result, you can enjoy the ease of use, flexibility, and a no-fee structure.
