About Us
Aurum Marketing Limited was formed in August 2021 to prioritise the promotion of a specific part of the Kinesis Monetary System – Kinesis Pay (K-Pay), a unique QR code Payment System where the currency is Gold and Silver.
Aurum Marketing Ltd. is actively promoting to all businesses using merchant services. Their mission is to encourage the use of complementary ‘Asset Backed Currencies’ that function seamlessly alongside the existing GBP EUR & USD monetary systems.
With our support, merchants will benefit from our considerable knowledge by assisting with the integration of ‘Kinesis QR Code Payments’ and familiarisation with the ‘Kinesis Virtual Debit Card’ on Apple Pay and Google Pay. Along with the ‘Kinesis Physical Debit Card’ are all component parts of a full ‘Kinesis Banking Service’.
Meet the team
We are a focused team with knowledge and experience to help and support UK merchants onboard with Kinesis Money and add Kinesis Pay to their existing suite of payment options.
Gavin Coates
Co-founder/CMOGavin has nineteen years of experience in retail, wholesale and head office environments.
Diverse operational and commercial experience proved invaluable when Co-Founding a retail marketing agency in 1997.
Upon sale of the agency, Gavin applied his accumulated capital and experience of equity investing into a new vocation in portfolio management.
Following the ill-conceived response by Central Banks to the 2007 Global Financial Crisis, Gavin shrewdly shifted focus to the inflation protection qualities of precious metals.
In 2018, Gavin learned of the ‘Kinesis project’ to reinstate Gold and Silver as inflation-proof currencies, ‘unretiring’ in 2021, Co-Founding Aurum Marketing Ltd.
