Operating 24/7, the smart Gold ATM integrates digital payments and bullion dispensing
Emirates Gold, in collaboration with Public Gold, Malaysia’s leading fintech-driven gold solutions provider, has announced the launch of the world’s first fintech-enabled Gold ATM in the UAE.
The unveiling took place at the landmark 13th edition of the Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC) 2025 at Atlantis, The Palm, marking a major innovation milestone for both the UAE and the global gold industry.
The launch was inaugurated by Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO, Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, alongside Abhijit Shah, CEO, Emirates Gold, and Jerry Ng, Chief Marketing Officer, Public Gold.
Strategic collaboration
In May 2025, Emirates Gold and Public Gold entered into a strategic collaboration combining refinery excellence with fintech capability. Under this partnership, Emirates Gold supplies and secures the physical gold and silver, and manages operations and customer service, while Public Gold supports the fintech platform and ATM infrastructure.
Together, they bring certified Emirates Gold bullion into a rapidly expanding network of smart ATMs across the UAE, improving access for consumers, investors, and institutions.
The first ATM will be introduced at Almas Tower, with additional units planned across key destinations in the UAE. Each ATM can hold over 70 designs of gold and silver bars, offering users convenient access to purchase bullion at any time.
Operating 24/7, the smart Gold ATM integrates digital payments, bullion dispensing, and advanced security features into one seamless platform. Users can currently purchase gold or silver using e-wallets or credit cards and withdraw physical bullion from their digital accounts.
Partnership
“Our partnership with Public Gold brings together Emirates Gold’s trusted refinery expertise and operational strength with modern fintech innovation, setting a new global benchmark for secure and transparent bullion accessibility,” asserted Shah.
“Our fintech-powered Gold ATM breaks traditional barriers and makes physical gold ownership simpler, safer, and more accessible. We are proud to build this vision alongside Emirates Gold within the trusted DMCC ecosystem,” commented Ng.
Emirates Gold, in collaboration with Public Gold, will deploy between 35 and 40 Gold ATM units across the UAE in 2026, forming the region’s largest network of its kind. Starting with the initial installation at Almas Tower and expanding to major destinations across the UAE, the rollout reinforces the nation’s position as a leader in modern gold-market infrastructure, a press communication concluded.
