Glint or Kinesis card?

Dunnsdale

I'm thinking of getting a Glint or Kinesis card. I'm fairly bullish on precious metals versus fiat currency. Kinesis don't yet take deposits in gbp. I understand this may be changing soon. Anyone have any personal experience of either of these cards?

I've got Glint. Nice concept but I'd like to see independent verification of their claims (punters own physical gold, client funds protected) before I put a proper amount of money into it. The fact that everything was in found to be in place when they were in administration during a hostile takeover bid a couple of years ago is encouraging though.

Takes a day to transfer funds into your account (so not faster payments) - could be better.

Debit card transfers only available on Apple phones app at the moment - boo !, I'm on Android.

Glint Mastercard took just over a week to arrive - OK

Buying Gold is instant & painless - good.

I haven't sold yet or tried to withdraw funds (they say 3 day BACS or you can pay for same day) so can't comment on that.

Glint is best. I tried to like Kinesis.
I have Silver with them but they've failed miserably in many ways. It's almost impossible to send money to them and my balance is in American Dollars and they can't change it to British pounds. It's a shame because their YouTube channel is quite informative.
