HONG KONG, July 18, 2025 — Ant Bank (Macau) and the Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX) have entered into a strategic partnership to create a one-stop platform for gold trading, aiming to revolutionize the precious metals trading experience with a blend of physical gold transactions and digital services.
The partnership was formalized during the inaugural board inauguration ceremony of HKGX, which also marked the 115th anniversary celebration of the Gold and Silver Exchange Society, HKGX’s predecessor. The collaboration will focus on integrating physical gold trading with a digitally enabled service model, enhancing transaction efficiency and user experience, while fostering greater financial market synergy between Hong Kong and Macau.
Ant Bank (Macau), regulated by the Monetary Authority of Macao, brings to the table its strengths in digital finance and a strong user base. HKGX, as Hong Kong’s sole spot gold and silver exchange, leverages its century-long industry foundation and strict regulatory framework to provide a secure and reputable platform for precious metals trading.
According to the signed memorandum, both parties plan to build a hybrid online-offline trading model that significantly lowers the entry threshold for gold investment. The service will enable more flexible transactions and facilitate easier redemption of physical gold, promoting the popularization and accessibility of gold investments among retail users.
Mr. Wang Lan, President of Ant Bank (Macau), remarked, “HKGX is a century-honed industry leader, while Ant Bank (Macau) is a fintech pioneer. This collaboration is a key step toward making physical gold trading more accessible and gradually building a more open and diverse gold finance ecosystem.”
Mr. Fung Wai-nang, CEO of HKGX, added, “The digital wave presents new opportunities for traditional gold trading. With Ant Bank (Macau)’s digital innovation strengths, we look forward to co-developing more digital service applications in the precious metals space, injecting new vitality into the industry.”
