‘How come you’re so young?’: Gen Z couple takes on Singapore’s established bullion dealers
Big Bullion wants to carve a niche for itself in a gold and silver industry dominated by established players
In Singapore, a young couple is making waves in the gold and silver industry, a sector traditionally dominated by long-standing players. Ian Chan, 26, and his fiancée Charmaine Chua, 25, are the dynamic duo behind Big Bullion, a startup they launched online in December 2025.
The couple pooled around half a million dollars to kickstart their venture, drawing funds from family, friends, and the earnings Chan made from his side job as a financial adviser. Their ambitious endeavor aims to carve a unique space in a market dominated by established entities.
The entry barriers in this industry are high, but the Gen Z couple is determined to make their mark. They have set up a physical store for Big Bullion, a move that could potentially challenge the status quo. The couple's innovative approach and fresh perspective are setting them apart in an industry where tradition has long reigned supreme.
