G-Banker

G-Banker was a financial technology company headquartered in Beijing, China, that developed and operated an online platform for gold investment and trading. Founded in 2014, the company aimed to provide a one-stop service for investors, focusing on features like "buy gold at low prices" and "deposit gold to earn interest". The platform's pricing was directly linked in real-time to the Shanghai Gold Exchange, and it allowed users to trade in small units, with a minimum of 1 milligram.

The business operated on an O2O (online-to-offline) model, providing its services through both a website and mobile applications. G-Banker targeted individual investors in the precious metals market. The company went through several funding rounds, including a Seed Round in May 2014, a Series A of $1.61 million in July 2015, a Series B in October 2015, and a Series C in May 2017. Investors in the company included notable firms such as SB China Capital (SBCVC), BOC International Holdings, Radiant Venture Capital, and China Everbright.

Despite its early-stage funding success and revenue generation, G-Banker ceased operations. The company was officially registered as out of business on August 26, 2020.
