Tooker added: “With many investment options being extremely volatile we can see gold has proven to hold its purchasing power over time and be a good hedge against inflation.

“Gold is a safe haven, and we want to encourage a habit in people to diversify and save in an asset that is stable.”

So far, over 12 million Australians are said to have adopted PayID, which is capable of offering instant payments to its customers.

PayTo, which is a one touch payments, is designed to facilitate instant wallet top-ups that helps minimising missed payments and processing expenditures.

Azupay chief product officer Tom Rundle said: “Instant and easy to use PayTo and PayID payments help Nauggets’ deliver the promise of investing in gold being as easy as saving in your regular bank account.”

In May this year, Azupay announced a partnership with Australian Forex and OTC derivatives trading broker Mitrade on real-time payments in Australia.
