BTC Officially Launches Gold and Silver Bullion Vending Machine in Egypt

BTC has officially launched its first vending machine for gold and silver ingots and coins in the Egyptian market, with a new machine installed at the Nile City Towers Mall. The launch marks the company’s official entry into automated retail in Egypt, as part of its efforts to make gold and silver products more accessible to customers and provide greater flexibility in purchasing these products.

The official launch follows a testing phase initiated by BTC in 2025, which included the introduction of vending machines across various locations in Gulf markets, alongside a trial of the model in Egypt. This phase enabled the company to test and further develop the automated retail model in preparation for expanding its offering, with the machine at Nile City Mall marking a new step in bringing the service into its official launch phase in Egypt.

The new machine allows customers to purchase a selected range of gold and silver products using payment cards. The machine features gold ingots ranging from 0.25 – 2.5 grams, silver ingots ranging from 5 – 100 grams, as well as a selection of gold and silver coins.

Hassan Nassar, CEO of BTC, said that moving to the official launch phase of automated retail solutions in Egypt reflects the company’s direction toward diversifying its sales channels for gold and silver products and leveraging technology to provide customers with more convenient and flexible purchasing options.

He added that the testing phase, which began in 2025, helped BTC develop the model in preparation for its official introduction to the Egyptian market. He noted that the placement of the machine at Nile City Towers Mall adds to the company’s existing sales channels and supports its ongoing efforts to expand access to bullion products in ways that cover customers’ needs.
