The new machines will enable customers to purchase gold bars without visiting a bank branch. Payments will be made with bank cards, after which buyers will be able to collect the bullion from the ATM immediately. The system will also include a buyback option, allowing customers to sell gold back through the same machines.
Tolibzoda noted that the initiative aims to make gold more accessible to the general public.
According to the TajikNational Bank, more than 200 kilograms of gold bullion were sold in Tajikistan in 2025, worth $23.7 million.
