CurrentLIV DIGITAL BANK BY EMIRATES NBD
Liv Primary Account
Monthly fee: AED 25/month, waivable
Transfers: Quick Remittances
No minimum balance

A savings account denominated in gold rather than dirhams. Buy from 0.001 XAU at live rates, hold it fee-free, or take delivery as physical gold.
Opened from inside the Liv app. You need a Liv Primary Account first.
Liv asks for this on the Contact details screen when you open your account.
The Liv Gold Account is a gold holding priced in XAU rather than dirhams. The minimum purchase is 0.001 XAU, a thousandth of a troy ounce, recently around AED 15, bought at the live rate shown before you confirm. There is no tiering, so no balance level changes what the account offers.
The account pays no interest and no profit share. The holding gains and loses with the gold price. If the objective is a return on savings rather than exposure to a metal, a Goal Account pays a published rate and carries no price risk.
Fractional From 0.001 XAU
About AED 15 at recent rates, so the entry price is not the barrier
XAU is a troy ounce of gold, so 0.001 XAU is a thousandth of an ounce. You buy an amount of metal rather than a number of dirhams, at the live rate shown before you confirm.
24/7 Trading
Buy and sell 24/7 in the Liv app, not just market hours
Pricing follows international spot markets. You fund a purchase by transferring from your AED account, and selling credits AED back to it.
Physical Gold Delivery
Convert your holding to gold and have it delivered
Choose a weight in the app and Liv arranges home delivery of certified gold. This is what separates the Gold Account from the Silver one, which is digital only.
No Holding Fees
No account, maintenance or transfer fee, and no minimum balance
There is no custody or vaulting charge for holding the metal. Your cost is the spread between the buy and sell price at the moment you trade.
Liv charges nothing to hold gold: no maintenance fee, no transfer fee, no custody or vaulting charge, and no minimum balance. The cost of the account is the conversion spread applied to the trade amount, which Liv puts at approximately 0.75% and varies from time to time.
That is charged on the way in and again on the way out, so a round trip costs roughly 1.5% of the amount traded. The exact figure for any given trade is on the order confirmation in the app, and on a small holding traded often it will exceed anything a monthly fee would have come to.

The account carries restrictions a savings account does not. There are no ATM withdrawals, and XAU cannot be transferred outward to anyone outside Liv, Emirates NBD or Emirates Islamic. Gold in this account cannot be sent to another institution as gold. To take value out, the holding is sold back to dirhams or converted to physical delivery.
A holding can be converted into physical gold and delivered. Choose a weight in the app and Liv arranges delivery of certified gold. This is what separates the Gold Account from the Silver Account, which is digital-only, and it is the reason to choose Liv over a purely synthetic exposure if holding the metal matters.
