e-Bullion is a digital gold currency founded by Jim Fayed and his wife, Pam Fayed. The company was incorporated in December, 2000, and launched on July 4, 2001. Similar to competing systems such as e-gold, e-Bullion allows for the instant transfer of gold and silver between user accounts. e-Bullion is a registered legal corporate entity of Panama.
