Partnership Between Emirates Gold and Public Gold

Emirates Gold and Public Gold formalised their partnership in May 2025, combining refinery expertise with a fintech-driven distribution system. 

Emirates Gold manages physical bullion production, replenishment, and customer support, while Public Gold provides the technology platform that powers the ATM network.

As per news reports, the first unit will be installed at Almas Tower, with more locations planned across the UAE.

 Key features include:

• 24/7 availability
• Over 70 options in gold and silver bars
• Payments via e-wallets or credit cards
• Ability to withdraw bullion linked to digital holdings

Future updates are expected to include online order pickups, cryptocurrency conversion, and redemption of tokenised gold backed by secure vaults.

Expansion Plan for 2026

Between 35 and 40 ATMs are scheduled for deployment in 2026, forming what is expected to be the country’s largest network of gold-dispensing machines. 

The rollout aims to increase accessibility for both new and experienced investors while maintaining quality standards associated with Emirates Gold products.

Designed for a Wider Investor Base

The machines offer a curated range of precious metal bars suitable for investors, collectors, and individuals seeking commemorative items. The focus remains on enabling seamless purchasing experiences while ensuring security and product authenticity.
