Trust and security remain central to the platform’s proposition. OGold partners with established refineries, banks and auditing firms, while also providing insurance policies tied to users’ holdings, he says. These measures are critical to building confidence in a market where authenticity and asset security are paramount.
Beyond spending, Abdeltawab highlights wealth-building features within the OGold app. Users can earn returns on their gold through yield-generating programmes, receiving additional gold annually. He also reveals upcoming features such as gold-backed lending, allowing users to take loans against their holdings.
Geographic expansion is also on the horizon for OGold, with plans to launch in Egypt and Hong Kong.
As OGold reimagines gold for the digital age, Abdeltawab emphasises that the broader goal of fintech is not just innovation for its own sake, but solving real market problems. As adoption accelerates across the region, he believes platforms that prioritise transparency, accessibility and trust will play a defining role in the future of financial services.
