Dear Member,
I am so appreciative of your ongoing support, especially during the challenging times in which we currently live and operate. I am proud of our industry bouncing back from the nadir of the pandemic in April when transaction volumes were at their lowest. The multi-year Next Gen ATM project is nearing fruition at just the right time, with its potential to transform our industry, creating richer customer experiences, quickening transaction times and time-to-market for ATM products and services, adding new functionality at the ATM and driving down the Total Cost of Ownership for ATMs. At the same time, solid progress is being made in the ATM Hygiene and Safety Committee to write best practices for a global ATM hygiene protocol, to showcase technologies emerging in our industry for cleansing the ATM fascia and cash before it’s dispensed. You will notice below a link to our Advocacy Plan for COVID-19 and Beyond which amounts to an ATM and Cash Revival Plan. Please join us in relaunching awesome ATM technology in a way that will excite consumers and provide win-win-win scenarios for stakeholders across our industry, blowing away the cobwebs of this interminable lockdown!
Stay well, stay strong and keep pressing onwards towards further progress and success.

BNP Paribas: Covid-19 prompts rise in social considerations in investment decision-making
BNP Paribas Asset Management (‘BNPP AM’) reveals key findings of its study on the importance of ESG criteria for investors in the Covid-19 environment.
“The Covid-19 crisis has clearly prompted a shift in investor perception of social factors, which are now widely seen as having a critical and positive impact on long-term value creation and risk mitigation. It has also highlighted the interconnection between the way in which companies approach social issues such as treatment of employees or addressing inequalities in their long-term sustainability strategy. At BNPP AM, we engage with the companies in which we invest with regard to social issues and all aspects of ESG. We encourage companies to evolve and improve their social behaviour, thereby reducing risk and enhancing the sustainable returns that we can deliver to our clients.“
