Dubai-based Emirates Gold, known for its precious metal refining and bullion manufacturing, has teamed up with Public Gold, Malaysia’s leading fintech-driven gold solutions provider, to launch the world’s first fintech-enabled Gold ATM in the UAE, a step that marks a major innovation milestone for both the Gulf major and the global gold industry. The first ATM will be introduced at Almas Tower, with additional units planned for the emirate’s other key destinations.
Emirates Gold will deploy between 35 and 40 Gold ATM units across the country in 2026, forming the region’s largest network of its kind. Each ATM will hold over 70 designs of gold and silver bars, offering users convenient access to purchase bullion at any time.
“The smart Gold ATM also 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, with additional features such as online order collection, cryptocurrency conversion, and redeeming tokenized gold from secure vaults planned for future integration as this initiative continues to evolve,” reported Mubasher, MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region’s prominent financial information and trading platform.
The CEO of Emirates Gold DMCC, Abhijit Shah, said, “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.”
On his part, Jerry Ng, Chief Marketing Officer of Public Gold DMCC, said, “This landmark moment places Malaysia and the UAE at the forefront of global gold innovation. 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.”
As the network expands, Emirates Gold aims to make bullion access faster, smarter, and more secure for users across the UAE, in the pursuit of decisively shaping the future of accessible precious metals.
