Kinesis - anyone know about them?

You can buy physical gold with them as I understand and will be given a debit card to send the gold to anywhere. I don't understand how this works?

From there website:

We pay a yield on your gold savings
Kinesis is the only gold savings account that shares revenue to pay a monthly return on your bullion.​

This really sounds like a good way to earn money without doing anything?

How does Kinesis pay a monthly yield?​

Each time a Kinesis client buys or sells gold, a share of the transaction fee goes towards your monthly yield.
You hold full legal title of your gold bullion, at all times – and can sell your precious metals, any time you wish.

As far as I can read from their website, you can use their debit card to make purchases. They then simply "sell" your gold. Instead of a cash back, you are then paid out a "yield" in gold.

I am not sure how the yields are apportioned to the users, but their website suggests that the more gold you store, the more you get. Their fees of 0.22% on gold transactions is rather low, but they promise to give a part back to the users in the form of yields. I do not think it will be substantial, but probably you get back 0.05% per year of the amount of gold you store, unless their debit cards are excessively used in which case I would expect more.

I wonder if one can buy gold with crypto ... for those who are looking to "cash out" or pay their living expenses....

Looks like:

But there is a 0.95% transaction fee on the card?

It's been around for a while... had a few associates who bought their yield returning
token... last i checked which was a few years ago... they said their yields were not as promised.

I did almost sign up, and was follow up calls for a good year, despite not committing to them.

that's all i know, never really dove in.
