FinMet.sg Launches a More Affordable Way to Own Physical Gold in Singapore

Published

on

Customers can purchase 24 karat 99.99% pure Swiss-made, LBMA accredited gold from one gram, manage their holdings online and request physical delivery or pick-up in Singapore.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FinMet Pte. Ltd. has announced the launch of FinMet.sg, a fully transactional platform created specifically for customers in Singapore who want a simpler way to purchase, own and manage physical gold. FinMet’s global presence began in Singapore, and FinMet.sg builds on that foundation with a service designed around how customers in Singapore identify themselves, make payments, store their gold and take delivery. Customers can begin with one gram, monitor their holdings through a clear account experience, buy or sell at any time, and request physical pickup/delivery once their holdings reach 10 grams.

The purpose of FinMet.sg is simple: to remove unnecessary friction from purchasing physical gold without changing what the customer ultimately owns. The platform makes it possible to begin with a smaller quantity, complete purchases online and view holdings through a clear account experience. At every stage, the underlying product remains 24 karat, 99.99% pure, Swiss-made physical gold.

To start purchasing and managing physical gold from just one gram, visit FinMet.sg today.

A Seamless, Secure Purchasing Journey

This approach is intended to make physical gold easier to access and manage for customers who value clarity, convenience and the option of delivery. Rather than requiring customers to begin with a larger bar, complete an entirely offline purchase or arrange storage independently, FinMet.sg brings the principal stages of gold ownership into one online platform designed for use in Singapore. Gold purchased through the platform is professionally vaulted in Singapore, and customers can request physical delivery within Singapore once their holdings reach 10 grams.

The customer journey incorporates services that people in Singapore already use and recognise, including Singpass for identity verification and PayNow for payment. This straightforward online process includes:

Accessible Entry: Customers purchase gold in whole-gram quantities, beginning at one gram.Transparent Pricing: Before confirming a transaction, customers review the live price per gram in Singapore dollars and the total amount payable. Clear Ownership: Once a purchase is completed, legal title to the corresponding physical gold passes to the customer, reflected immediately in their platform balance.Flexible Management: Customers can hold, purchase more, sell through the platform, or request physical delivery within Singapore once their holding reaches 10 grams.

How Does FinMet.sg Make Physical Gold More Affordable?

FinMet.sg’s direct-to-consumer model reduces the overheads associated with operating a conventional network of brick-and-mortar stores. These efficiencies are passed on to customers, helping make physical gold more affordable and accessible while retaining professional vaulting and the option of physical delivery or collection.

“We took a customer-first approach to make the buyer’s entry into gold ownership the easiest part of the experience,” says Anirudh Menon, Co-Founder and CEO of FinMet Technologies.

“Price matters, but affordability should not come at the expense of clear ownership,” adds Sunil Kashyap, Managing Director of FinMet Pte. Ltd. “Gold that is identifiable rather than held within an undifferentiated pool gives customers greater clarity over what they own and makes taking physical delivery more straightforward.”

Professional Vaulting and Uncompromised Purity

The physical gold is held in the form of 99.99% pure, Swiss-made CombiBars. These physical bullion bars are individually minted into individual one-gram segments that can be separated without reducing their stated metal weight or purity. This structure supports FinMet.sg’s whole-gram ownership model while retaining a clear connection between the quantity shown on the platform and the underlying physical asset.

The gold is professionally vaulted in Singapore by Helveticor, an international Swiss-based provider of security logistics, storage and transportation services. Helveticor provides the professional vaulting arrangement, while FinMet.sg provides the website through which customers purchase, view and manage their gold.

Designed for Ease of Use

Ease of use was treated as a product requirement rather than a secondary design consideration. The customer journey was developed to present the essential information clearly, from the quantity and price of a purchase to the customer’s current holdings and delivery eligibility.

The team behind FinMet.sg developed the platform with a clear understanding that trust must extend beyond the gold itself to every part of the customer experience. The aim was to create a service that feels straightforward and familiar to people in Singapore, including those purchasing physical gold for the first time.

“This is a platform that I wanted to make sure my mother could use without anyone else’s help,” says Anirudh Menon, Co-Founder and CEO of FinMet Technologies. “That was my benchmark for success in the user experience.”

For customers unfamiliar with physical gold, practical considerations—such as deciding how much to buy, understanding purity, arranging storage, and determining resale options—can make an initial purchase difficult to navigate. FinMet.sg addresses these barriers through a one-gram starting quantity, professional vaulting, and an online management platform.

FinMet Group’s leadership brings decades of experience in the global precious metals market.

“Gold has always been trusted. What has been missing is an experience that matches that trust with the standards people now expect from any financial platform. That is what FinMet.sg is built on,” noted Sunil Kashyap, Managing Director, FinMet Pte. Ltd.

Commitment to Industry Standards

FinMet follows the Seven Retail Gold Investment Principles developed by the World Gold Council, covering areas such as fairness, transparency, protection of customer assets and regulatory compliance. The company clarifies that adherence to the framework does not amount to certification or endorsement by the World Gold Council.

FinMet Pte. Ltd. is also an Associate Corporate Member of the Singapore Bullion Market Association (SBMA), reinforcing the company’s connection to Singapore’s professional bullion-market community.

FinMet Pte. Ltd. is registered under Singapore’s Precious Stones and Precious Metals Act as a regulated dealer. Regulation by Singapore’s Ministry of Law is for anti-money laundering and countering terrorism financing purposes only, and does not constitute product endorsement.

As a precious-metals dealer—not a bank or MAS-licensed financial institution—FinMet does not accept deposits or provide financial advice. Gold prices can fluctuate, and customers should review all applicable terms before completing a transaction.

Published

on

By

SHANGHAI, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At HUAWEI CONNECT 2026, Leo Chen, Huawei’s Senior Vice President and President of Enterprise Sales, announced the new SCALE partner support system during his “Scaling All Intelligence for Industry Success” keynote address. Huawei intends to use this new system to equip partners with the capabilities they need to help customers move intelligent transformation from individual pilots to large-scale adoption. Chen also shared new insights and practices Huawei has developed on intelligent industry benchmarks.

Chen stated, “The intelligent era is approaching fast. Huawei works with partners to provide products and solutions that solve real business problems. We want to share our own capabilities with partners. By empowering partners, they can bring their unique strengths to bear, and help customers move from compute construction to intelligent application. Huawei is fully committed to helping our customer-centric ‘Huawei + Partners’ collaboration system thrive. We want to help partners solve customer issues more efficiently and help customers achieve large-scale AI adoption.”

Partners face five challenges when scaling intelligent industry projects: solution development, integration verification, solution delivery, O&M, and system collaboration. To help partners overcome these challenges, the SCALE partner support system offers five types of support: Scenario-based Solutions, Co-innovation, Aligned Marketing, Local Services, Consistent Quality, and Efficient Collaboration. These enhanced support offerings provide partners with systematic support from solution development, verification, launch, delivery, and operations, helping them move from benchmark intelligent projects to large-scale AI adoption.

Scenario-based Solutions: Huawei provides open, easy-to-integrate AI foundation products that partners can use to rapidly develop new solutions. These products cover compute, storage, networks, security, and data protection, and include the new SMECE and the DCS AI Solution that help partners more efficiently convert their industry know-how into feasible intelligent solutions. Huawei’s partners have used these products to develop more than 100 scenario-based solutions for eight industries that accelerate AI adoption.

Co-innovation: To help partners replicate benchmark experience and validate solution integration more efficiently, Huawei has opened up its reference architectures and verification environments. This includes the reference architectures for 48 high-value scenarios that partners can refer when designing solutions, setting up test environments, developing applications, and performing debugging and verification. Besides, Huawei provides unified interfaces and development and verification tools through its cloud-based OpenLab to make solution more efficient.

Aligned Marketing: Huawei is committed to helping its partners identify customer needs, launch new solutions, and make standout solutions more visible, verifiable, and replicable so customers can quickly find the solutions they want. Huawei has opened up its Market-to-Lead (MTL) process capabilities to partners and worked together to effectively bring customer-facing solutions to market. Huawei has launched solutions alongside partners, showcased standout solutions at Huawei’s booths and exhibition halls, and built industry showcases with customers. These efforts have enabled customers to better understand the value of solutions and actual validation results. Huawei has worked with partners to build more than 130 showcases with customers globally.

Local Service, Consistent Quality: Huawei is expanding and localizing its partner services, so that partners can offer customers the same high-quality service as Huawei. Partners can access the knowledge, tools, expertise, and service experience through Huawei’s O3 Partner Service Enablement Platform. Huawei offers talent development and certification programs for various service roles, which have been used to cultivate more than 50,000 AI professionals over the past 3 years.

Efficient Collaboration: Huawei provides two one-stop intelligent platforms for partners that simplify the way they work with Huawei. These platforms (HUAWEI eFly and HUAWEI ePartner) serve as unified portals that help partners navigate Huawei’s processes, and provide partners with the data they need to carry out one-stop marketing, transaction, and service operations. Partners gain access to the documentation, tools, IT interfaces, and AI-assisted configuration and intelligent Q&A tools, that help make serving customers more efficiently.

Chen said, “In the era of true intelligence, scaling proven practices across industries will allow more companies to thrive. Industrial intelligence is creating unprecedented opportunities, and Huawei wants to work with our customers and partners to deploy successful benchmarks at scale, and bring the benefits of AI to more industries, organizations, and people.”

Soach Global Set for Nearly 25x Gains in Partial Exit from National Stock Exchange

Published

Fund to sell 20% of its decade-old stake in NSE’s IPO; remaining 80% to be held as a long-term investment

MUMBAI, India, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Soach Global Strategic Holdings Limited, Mauritius, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Soach Global Opportunities Fund (together, “Soach Global”), is part exiting from its decade-long investment in the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (“NSE”). The Fund is selling through the offer for sale in NSE’s initial public offering, which opened today.

The Fund acquired 1,50,000 NSE equity shares from Industrial Finance Corporation of India Limited (IFCI) in January 2016 at ₹3,950 per share, aggregating ₹59.25 crore. Over the following decade, the holding multiplied to 82,50,000 shares through corporate actions, without any additional investment. Adjusted for these corporate actions, the Fund’s average acquisition cost is ₹71.8 per share.

The Fund is now selling 16,50,000 equity shares, which is 20% of its holding, at the IPO price band of ₹1,700 to ₹1,785 per share, valuing the sale at approximately ₹280 to ₹295 crore. This realises nearly five times the Fund’s entire original investment, a return of roughly 25x. The Fund will continue to hold 66,00,000 shares, 80% of its position, valued at approximately ₹1,120 to ₹1,180 crore at the price band.

“Bharat is a fast-growing economy with a large number of growth-aspiring youngsters who are quickly learning the risks and rewards of participating in capital markets. We are participating in the offer for sale and selling a partial stake of what we own because we would like to see a large number of the mass retail population hold some stake of NSE. As these retail investors buy small stakes in NSE, directly or indirectly through mutual funds, they will also benefit from the growth of NSE, the same way we have by buying our stake over ten years ago. Of India’s 1.4 billion people, only about 130 million are registered investors on NSE, and that is the opportunity,” said Anubhav Dayal, Founder & Director, Soach Global Opportunities Fund.

“In our country, we have a culture of buying gold at a festival or for a ceremony. Gold, once purchased by a family, is held for a long time, even generations. It is sold only when in desperate need of money. Retail buyers can compare shares of NSE with buying gold. As a multi-asset-class trading platform, NSE will book growth in revenue while operating at a fixed cost, most of it already incurred. It is a high-technology platform settling trades in nanoseconds, and a multi-asset-class exchange: equity, commodities, electricity futures, bond index futures and coal. As India develops, the list of tradable products will only increase, adding to revenues on a largely fixed cost base. This will reflect in its price per share post-listing. This is a one-way partial exit and we have no plans of re-entering,” he added.

About Anubhav Dayal

Anubhav has over 20 years of experience in banking and investment advisory. He started his career with HSBC Group in India, gaining experience across multiple areas of banking, before moving to Hong Kong to manage HSBC’s Non-Resident Indian business for Asia-Pacific. After over nine years with the HSBC Group, he joined Societe Generale Bank and Trust, Hong Kong, as Director, Marketing, a position he held for over five years.

Beyond his work with Soach Global, Anubhav is engaged with India’s capital market innovation ecosystem. He participated in Manthan Ideathon, organised by SEBI in association with NSE, BSE, NSDL, CDSL, NCDEX, MCX, Link Intime and other fintech companies, where his concept, the Virtual Food Grain Asset (VFGA), was a winning entry. He now plans to set up a VFGA exchange platform at Gujarat International Finance Tec-City Company (GIFT City), enabling teams of farmers to sell tokenised food grain assets to overseas buyers, with transparent global price discovery and foreign currency proceeds that add to India’s FX reserves.

Anubhav holds a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Corporate and Financial Law from The University of Hong Kong, a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from the University of Delhi, a Professional Certificate in FinTech from The University of Hong Kong, a Postgraduate Diploma in Management from Amity Business School, NOIDA, and a B.Sc. (Statistics Honours) from Hindu College, University of Delhi.

EASE Automations Helps Modernize 300+ Collocations in $60 Million Annual Cost-Reduction Initiative

Published

on

By

EASE Automations supported a multi-year TDM modernization initiative designed to eliminate approximately $60 million in annual recurring leased transport costs.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — EASE Automations, a strategic telecommunications workforce, network transformation, and managed-services partner, announced the successful completion of a multi-year TDM Emulation initiative supporting a leading wholesale voice and Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider.

The program was designed to remove approximately $5 million per month in leased TDM transport expense, representing approximately $60 million in recurring annual cost once the targeted transport was retired.

The initiative began in 2023 and gained significant momentum in 2024 as EASE Automations expanded its role and team. From 2023 through 2025, EASE deployed a specialized team that grew to approximately 35–40 telecommunications professionals, taking on ownership across network provisioning, circuit design, implementation, carrier coordination, validation, and legacy transport retirement.

Across more than 300 collocation environments, EASE-supported professionals designed and provisioned the IP and TDM connectivity required to bring interconnections closer to the carrier edge, backhaul traffic over IP, and ultimately retire costly leased TDM transport.

The financial opportunity was significant. The program was designed to remove approximately $5 million per month in leased TDM transport expense, representing approximately $60 million in recurring annual cost once the targeted transport was retired.

“Modernizing a carrier network is not simply about installing new technology,” said Stan Scott, Managing Director of EASE Automations. “The real work is making every interconnection, carrier order, provisioning dependency, activation, and cutover line up without disrupting the business. EASE Automations built and sustained a team that could operate in that complexity at scale.”

Throughout the engagement, EASE professionals worked across carrier organizations, internal engineering teams, vendor systems, and network operations to move locations from design through activation. The team brought expertise in carrier-scale network provisioning, circuit design and order management, TDM-to-IP enablement, implementation coordination, network validation, and legacy transport retirement.

Just as important was continuity. As EASE’s role expanded, its professionals developed significant institutional knowledge of the client’s network, provisioning processes, carrier relationships, and operational dependencies. Maintaining that expertise helped sustain execution as the transformation progressed.

The initiative demonstrates EASE Automations’ ability to provide more than individual technical resources. By assembling and sustaining specialized telecommunications teams, EASE helps clients execute complex network transformation initiatives while maintaining the knowledge, coordination, and operational control required to move projects forward.

About EASE Automations

EASE Automations is a strategic telecommunications workforce, network transformation, and managed-services partner. EASE combines specialized carrier-domain knowledge with sustained execution to help organizations modernize complex networks while maintaining operational control.
