As e-gold Users are aware, by agreement with relevant authorities including the U.S. Department of Justice, e-gold has suspended all e-metal Spend activity subject to meeting certain licensing requirements. As a result, e-gold Users have been unable to engage in any transactions, including exchanges, that would require either receiving or making an e-metal Spend from the accounts they control.
We are, however, working diligently to develop a means by which account Owners will be able to access the value in their account. Included in this effort have been intensive discussions with various US Federal and State government authorities, including the Florida Office of Financial Regulation, the state where e-gold’s Operator is located. We hope in the very near future to finalize a Value Access Plan that satisfies the requirements of the Office, at which point we will engage with other jurisdictions where e-gold Owners reside. Subject to the prerequisite discussed below, the Value Access Plan will allow account Users on accounts with Owners residing in jurisdictions in which the Plan is not prohibited or otherwise restricted by law to direct the exchange of value in the e-gold accounts they control for US dollars.
The prerequisite to participation in e-gold’s Value Access Plan is full compliance with e-gold’s Customer Identification Program (CIP), Customer Due Diligence (CDD), and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) requirements for the accounts you control. For additional information on this topic, please click here.
Further updates will be announced as they become available via the e-gold blog; therefore, please visit regularly.

Effective immediately, e-gold requires additional information from all e-gold account Users in compliance with US legal requirements and e-gold’s “Customer Identification Program” (CIP).
e-gold requires all Users to provide information about the Owner of the e-gold accounts in User’s control. ALL USERS ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE ACTION AT THIS TIME.
Completion of User CIP is a prerequisite to completing Owner CIP. It is imperative for any User who has not yet completed User CIP to do so immediately.
Collection of information for identification and verification purposes is only one part of e-gold’s broader “Customer Due Diligence” (CDD) process. In compliance with US requirements, e-gold requires additional information about e-gold account Owners and the intended usage of their e-gold account(s) to prevent e-gold accounts from being used for money laundering, terrorist financing or other financial crimes. ALL USERS ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE ACTION AT THIS TIME TO PROVIDE REQUIRED INFORMATION.
As part of its “Enhanced Due Diligence” (EDD) efforts, e-gold may request other information for accounts with Owners or activity meeting certain criteria. For example, money transmitting businesses will be subject to EDD.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF CIP, CDD OR EDD INFORMATION IS REQUESTED, IT MUST BE PROVIDED BEFORE ANY INITIAL OR FURTHER TRANSACTIONAL ACTIVITY MAY BE PERMITTED. FAILURE TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE CIP, CDD, OR EDD INFORMATION WHEN REQUESTED COULD RESULT IN YOUR ACCOUNT BEING TREATED AS ABANDONED PROPERTY AND ESCHEATED TO GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES OR FORFEITED TO THE US GOVERNMENT.
Effective with the next Agio fee collection:
Agio fee schedule is available here.
Advance notice of next Agio fee collection date and time is available here.
The Agio fee is the equivalent of an account maintenance fee. e-gold Ltd reserves the right to make further changes to the Agio fee schedule based on the costs of maintaining and enhancing the e-gold system. e-gold Ltd continues to review the Agio fee schedule in view of these costs and may announce further changes within the next 6 months.
********
EVEN IF YOU BELIEVE THE ACCOUNTS YOU CONTROL TO BE FULLY COMPLIANT WITH ALL OF E-GOLD'S CIP, CDD AND EDD REQUIREMENTS, PLEASE MAKE A POINT TO LOGIN AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK TO SEE IF ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION HAS BEEN REQUESTED. FOR EXAMPLE, E-GOLD INTENDS TO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL OWNER CIP INFORMATION FOR ACCOUNTS WHERE THE USER IS NOT THE OWNER (SUCH AS ACCOUNTS OWNED BY COMPANIES) IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
FAILURE TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE CIP, CDD, OR EDD INFORMATION WHEN REQUESTED COULD RESULT IN YOUR ACCOUNT BEING TREATED AS ABANDONED PROPERTY AND ESCHEATED TO GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES OR FORFEITED TO THE US GOVERNMENT.
