You are correct that TallyMoney Limited is not a FCA regulated entity in itself. It is as you say only and agent of Payrnet for the purpose of sending and receiving electronic payments. However, once the funds are received into their client account there is a direct transfer of cash for Tally (gold, a commodity). FCA regulation does not cover physical commodities and so at that point it is the LMBA approved gold vaulters that is effectively the 'regulator' as it were, which is also audited by the auditors. However the gold is insured to its full value and stored in a custodian arrangement. Once you own the Tally you will receive 99%-100% of the value of the gold back in any circumstance, even if you decided you didn't want to go throught the app and liquidate the gold, you would be able to arrange for delivery of the gold directly from the vault (see FAQs on the app). I see any short period of them holding customer funds as very low risk, especially if you are making small regular deposits and the majority of your holding is already in Tally. Hope this helps.
