Gold, being given as a gift by people to each other in order to support each other is being used by our women both as jewellery and as investment whıch has led to the creation of "under-the-pillow" concept in our economy by storing their gold at home which became a tradition of Turkey.

IGR has made agreements with several Turkish banks and has been operating for years trying to integrate off-the-record gold under pillow into the financial system. Through the process of "gold collection", customers' gold is analysed and the corresponding amount of pure gold is then deposited in the customers´ gold account at the bank. This provides customers with safe storage for their gold with no fee, as well as the opportunity to earn interest; while the banks have gold at their disposal to use as a financial source.

Turkish economy benefits from this integration since off-the-record gold became a part of the official financial system.
