Four ways Tally helps you take back control while managing your money

We should all be managing our money on our own terms.

We work hard for our money. It’s ours. So, we should use it as we please. That’s a no-brainer, right?

Unfortunately, it rarely works out that way.

Most of us store our savings in a fiat currency like the pound, which is issued and controlled by the government.

And when we do that, we quietly hand over control of our money to everyone but ourselves.

To the government, which dilutes the value of our money by increasing the supply…

To the banks, who use it for lending and profits, not to protect our interests…

To the tax system, which takes a slice of our savings interest just because it can…

In short, storing your savings in fiat money means entering a system designed to work against you. But that no longer has to be the case.

Tally gives you a way to manage your money independently. It’s a modern currency, where 1 tally equals 1 milligram of physical gold securely stored in Switzerland. This is gold you own, with digital access and everyday usability.

Here’s how Tally helps you manage your money on your terms.

1. Tally helps protect your money from inflation

There are two major issues with fiat currency:

  1. It’s issued by the government
  2. Its supply is unlimited

That means more money can be created at will, driving up prices and eroding your purchasing power.

Inflation isn’t just a statistic, it’s a quiet thief. Unless your money grows as fast as inflation, you’re getting poorer by the day.

Gold, on the other hand, can’t be printed. Its supply is naturally limited. That’s why it’s been trusted for thousands of years as a store of value.

And since Tally is a currency directly tied to physical gold, it holds purchasing power over time. When inflation hits fiat currencies, gold tends to perform well in comparison. That means your tally balance can keep up with, or even benefit from, inflation.

According to the World Gold Council, gold has consistently outpaced inflation over the past 50 years.

2. Tally removes bank risks from the equation

Most people aren’t aware of the fractional reserve banking system. But it matters.

It means banks only keep a fraction of your deposits on hand. The rest? They lend it, invest it, and profit from it. 

What Is Rehypothecation – and Why Should You Care?

It gets worse. If you post assets as collateral, say, for a loan or financial product, the bank can reuse that collateral again. And again. This process is called rehypothecation.

Essentially, your assets could be pledged multiple times over for trades you have no control over. In a crisis, this creates phantom liquidity, a system built on the illusion of wealth that doesn’t really exist. Where customers discover their “safely held” securities have been rehypothecated into oblivion, leaving them as unsecured creditors watching their assets vanish.
Which is why you should demand segregated custody where your assets are actually ring-fenced, because why should banks get to run a casino with your chips whilst pretending they’re just keeping them safe?

If your bank fails, your deposits are only protected up to £85,000. That’s a sobering reality in uncertain economic times.

With Tally, the gold behind your balance isn’t touched, invested, or leveraged – it is 100% segregated. It sits in a fully insured, secure vault in Zurich. And if anything happens to TallyMoney, your gold can be sold and its value returned to you in fiat.

That’s how you manage your money without the hidden risks traditional banks carry.

3. Tally offers more tax-efficient wealth protection

Interest from fiat savings accounts is taxed as income. And the allowances are small:

  • £1,000 for basic rate taxpayers
  • £500 for higher rate
  • Nothing for additional rate

That means if you manage to earn meaningful interest, a chunk goes straight to HMRC.

Tally doesn’t generate interest. Instead, your value comes from owning a physical asset. This is classified under capital gains, with a higher allowance:

  • £3,000 tax-free allowance
  • 18% tax if you’re a basic rate taxpayer
  • 24% for higher/additional rate

Compared to income tax rates (20%, 40%, 45%), that’s a far better deal for managing your money efficiently.

4. Tally helps you avoid weak returns

UK savings accounts are underwhelming. As of May 2025, the average instant access rate was just 2.66% [source: Bank of England]. That’s before inflation and tax.

In comparison, gold has returned an annual average of 11.2% over the past decade. That means Tally, as digital access to gold, offers far more potential for real-world value preservation.

If you had placed £10,000 into Tally ten years ago, your holdings would be worth over £32,000 today. In pounds? Just over £10,600 in a typical savings account. 

That’s the real difference in managing your money with asset-based value.

H2: Final thought: Your money, your gold, your rules

Tally gives you a new way to think about money. It’s not about speculation. It’s about protecting what’s yours.

By managing your money with Tally, you remove the risks and erosion that come with the fiat system. You own a physical asset, not a promise. And you can spend, transfer, and access your funds just like any other currency.

It’s time to manage your money on your terms, starting today.

How to get a TallyMoney account

Real World Examples

  1. Fancy a coffee? Use your TallyMoney Mastercard. Boom – paid. (Yes, you’re buying a flat white with gold. How amazing is that?)

  2. Need cash? Use any Mastercard ATM worldwide or spend across the globe. ZERO fees from us, ZERO markup. (When you spend or withdraw, your gold converts instantly at the global spot price. No catches, no hidden charges – just straight-up Mastercard exchange rates. Because your money shouldn’t cost you… more money.)

  3. Want some money back in your bank? Just tap ‘transfer’ in the app. (Though after a while, you might wonder why you’d want to…)

    Zero faff. Zero waiting. Zero fees when you spend tally.

Meet Cameron Parry

Meet the guy who wouldn’t accept being trapped in a ‘heads they win, tales we lose’ government-run monetary system that protects and benefits the financial institutions, to the detriment of the public. Where people’s deposits are constantly at risk, and losing value through inflation caused by central bankers and politicians.

If necessity is the mother of invention, then frustration may be the roommate’s cousin of motivation. In any case, he decided to stop getting mad and start a new monetary system with sound money. Where deposits serve the depositor, where savings build wealth for savers, and transactions are made in a familiar way. And he called it TallyMoney.

TallyMoney: Gold upgraded

With TallyMoney:

  • Your pounds instantly become physical gold (1 tally = 1mg of real gold)
    Stored in Swiss vaults (not under your bed)
  • Fully insured and allocated (actually yours, not a paper promise)
  • Spend it anywhere with your TallyMoney debit Mastercard
  • Transfer back to pounds instantly if needed (but why would you?)

We’re not anti-bank because it’s trendy. We’re anti-bank because the current system is rigged against you. Every day you leave money in a “savings” account, you’re funding their profits while your wealth evaporates.

Enter gold: the original currency

Why gold? It’s value is universally acknowledged.

  • It’s not controlled by any single government
  • It can’t be printed or manufactured
  • It’s actually scarce 
  • It requires effort to extract it 
  • It doesn’t rust, decay, or disappear
  • It has remarkable properties

So while the pound’s lost 50% of its value since 2004, gold’s grown by 146% in the last decade alone. While your bank savings got mugged by inflation, gold owners were laughing all the way to… well, not the bank.

But here’s the rub: Traditional gold ownership is a right pain. Buy physical bars? Prepare for storage fees that’ll make your eyes water, insurance premiums that never end, and a 5-10% haircut when you need to sell. Plus, try buying your weekly shop with a gold ingot.
Paper gold ETFs? They’re classed as Tier 3 assets for a reason – that’s financial speak for “risky as hell.” You don’t own gold, you own a promise. A tradeable IOU. And when everyone wants their gold at once? Good luck with that. So you’re stuffed either way: real gold that’s impossible to use, or fake gold that might not be there when you need it.
Until now.

The truth about inflation

How? Well, when politicians overspend (and they invariably do), they need more money to ‘stimulate the economy’. But raising taxes makes voters angry. So what do they do? They fire up the money printer, and boy do they love to print. To give you a sense of the scale, since 2015 the Bank of England has created £520bn out of thin air through “quantitative easing” (electronic money printing) plus £86bn in physical currency. 

Thing is, more pounds in circulation = each pound is worth less. Think about it: In 2004, £100 could buy you a decent night out, theatre tickets, and a cab home. Today? That same £100 barely covers the theatre tickets. Your money didn’t disappear – it was diluted, like someone’s been topping up your whisky with water when you weren’t looking.

The “2% inflation target” they bang on about? That’s them telling you they plan to steal 2% of your wealth every single year. And calling it healthy.

How TallyMoney actually works?

  1. First things first: we’ve got actual gold bullion* (none of that paper-promise nonsense) locked up tight in a Brinks vault in Switzerland. Yeah, those Brinks – the security legends who’ve been protecting valuables since Queen Victoria was on the throne.

  2. You send your pounds to your TallyMoney account (bye-bye, inflation-addicted fiat!).

  3. We use the global gold spot price to instantly turn your currency into its weight in gold. No hidden or fuzzy exchange rates, just the real market gold price + 1.49% gold purchase fee.

  4. Each milligram of your physical gold = 1 tally (we keep it decimal because no one wants to faff about with troy ounces – the specific unit for measuring gold).

  5. That’s it! Your app shows your balance in tally, but remember – those aren’t just numbers on a screen. That’s your solid gold, in milligrams, sitting pretty in Switzerland.
  6. You can now save and spend your gold as you see fit.

*All Tally gold is sourced from LBMA-accredited providers because we’re rebels with a cause… and standards. Instead of tracking the gold price per kg, your money is directly converted based on the real-time global gold spot price.

TallyMoney is 
real money

  1. Store of value
    Your gold sits in a Swiss vault (not getting ‘quantitatively eased’ away)
    Evidenced by 5,000 years of holding its value
    Can’t be inflated by government whim and fingers on the ‘currency print’ button
  2. Medium of exchange
    Spendable at 150+ million shops worldwide (thanks, Mastercard)
    Currency converts instantly at market rates (no sneaky margins)
    Moves as quickly as sending a text 
  3. Unit of account
    1 tally = 1mg of gold. Simple
    Stable enough to actually plan your future with
    Speaks every currency’s language (gold’s kind of a big deal everywhere)

This is why TallyMoney is so much more than just owning Gold – it’s a real financial revolution. We’re not just helping you own gold; we’re bringing back what money was always meant to be. Sound Money for a Brighter Future. Because your hard work and wealth deserve better than being slowly robbed by external forces.

We want you to have real money

  1. A store of value:
    Keeps its value over time
    Insulated from devaluation/inflation
    Actually rare and can’t be created out of thin air
  2. Medium of exchange:
    Easy to use for everyday transactions
    Widely accepted
    Can be transferred efficiently
  3. Unit of account:
    Works like a proper value-measuring stick (imagine if your ruler shrunk every year – mad, right?)
    Splits nicely into useful bits
    Reliable enough to plan your future with

Why does this matter? Because your hard work deserves better than being turned into monopoly money by someone else’s actions. Every time your currency loses value (inflation) its stealing from your past work, which harms your present savings, and your future dreams.
