The Dong A Commercial Joint Stock Bank inaugurated its first automated teller machine (ATM) specifically for selling gold at its Tran Phu branch in district 5, Ho Chi Minh City.

Tran Phuong Binh, General Director of the bank, said this ATM is the first of its kind in Vietnam and the second in the world;. the other one is in Dubai.

Banks will issue buyers a card and, when they decide to make a purchase, they will pay using their cards, not cash. Prices will be updated at the ATM on a real-time basis.

Dong A bank currently has almost 5 million customers and a nationwide network of more than 200 branches and transaction offices plus around 1,300 ATMs.

It plans to manufacture and install 50 Gold ATMs by the end of 2011. (VNA)
