On September 23, 2011 (August 26, 2011 lunar calendar), China's first gold ATM machine was unveiled in Beijing. The first customer can withdraw gold from the gold ATM machine by operating and purchasing gold on site. This gold ATM machine used in high-end venues in the United States, Germany and Dubai was unveiled at Wangfujing Gongmei Building yesterday. This is also the first "gold" ATM in our country. On September 23, 2011, Gongmei Gold Company also officially opened. "The business of Gongmei Gold Industry is responsible for the production and sales of gold in Gongmei Group, including the operation of gold ATM machines." Li Weizhou, technical director of Gongmei Gold Industry, said that unlike foreign gold ATMs, which only have simple sales functions, the gold ATM machines launched by Gongmei Gold Industry can not only sell gold by themselves, but also have the functions of automatic repurchase, automatic detection, electronic money data exchange, and agent custody. At the scene yesterday, a consumer swiped a debit card and withdrew 10 grams of gold bars on the spot. The gold bar withdrawn is still a gold bar with "account". "Gongmei Gold ATM gold bars have pioneered the use of QR code identification technology on non-standard gold bars". Li Weizhou introduced that the "non-standard gold bar" records the product name, production batch, production batch, quality report and other information of ATM gold bars in detail. The current handling fee is 10 yuan/gram. It is understood that Gongmei Gold has strategically cooperated with the gold coin sales agency of the People's Bank of China. The first gold ATM machine launched this time can place more than 10 different precious metal gold and silver coins and gold bar products. Li Weizhou introduced that the gold sales price is also charged according to the real-time gold price of the Shanghai Gold Exchange plus the handling fee. The real-time gold price is updated every 10 minutes, and the handling fee is basically the same as the current gold store investment gold bar, which is charged 10 yuan per gram. " But this fee is not fixed. "Li Weizhou said that the gold ATM machine will open in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen this year, and the fee will change according to different locations. However, the first gold ATM to operate has not yet set up a repurchase function," in a very short time, this function will be opened. "Li Weizhou said that many services will be opened one after another. What is a gold ATM machine? Gold ATM machine refers to the machine that can automatically sell gold bars and coins.
