Dear Valued Member,
Thank you for your continued support throughout the pandemic disruption we’ve all experienced to some degree or another. The good news is that our industry is gearing up strongly for a reinvention, with Next Gen ATMs on track to be launched in Q4 and ATMIA’s new global ATM hygiene best practices and protocol recently published to enable deployers to provide an additional comfort level for hygiene-conscious ATM users in the “new normal”.
I was proud of ATMIA for transitioning to virtual events until the pandemic is truly over, in order to continue providing excellent educational material by the industry, for the industry – check out our upcoming virtual events here, which you can enjoy from the comfort and safety of your own desk space, comfortably fitting each day’s sessions into your daily workload.
I’m equally proud of the ATM industry for fighting back against the challenge of this once-in-a-century public health emergency. Together, we can keep our industry growing while monitoring the threats we face through our work in the international ATM Security Association.
Let’s continue to protect the present while building the industry’s future. It’s safe in our hands.

Africa Virtual Conference 2020
| |
|
ATMIA is pleased to announce a 2020 virtual industry conference for the Africa region.
The evolution of the ATM industry continues to move forward at a powerful pace, however. It is expected that the first certified NextGen ATM will be deployed in Q4. Learn how this new architecture will change the customer experience and shape the future of ATM deployment in the years ahead.
Learn how Next Gen ATMs could work in Africa and about all the IAD (Independent ATM Deployer) markets across Africa. Find out how SADC is creating a regional Southern African payments network and infrastructure to stimulate economic growth and innovation in the region.
Security is also a key aspect of the NextGen movement – customer-owned mobile devices will be at risk in ways never imagined a few years ago. And while these new risks are being addressed, the very nature of ATM crime in the current time frame has been changed by the pandemic. These topics and more will be covered during the 2020 ATMIA Africa ATMs Virtual Conference.
The programme of speakers includes thought leaders and industry experts from across the spectrum of the ATM industry, who will address these and other relevant and timely topics..
Especially under the current circumstances, you will not want to miss this important event. Don’t wait until next year to get up-to-date on technology and events that are already changing the ATM world.
The multiple emerging markets of Africa are beckoning the future: find out the ATM industry is ready for future growth by registering for Africa ATMs 2020 Virtual Conference.

ATMIA Launches New Membership Level to Support the ATM Industry During Current Economic Downturn
ATMIA has announced a new STARTUP Membership Level that will provide ATM businesses with all the benefits of a Regional Associate Level membership for just $500 ‒ in order to provide cost-savings during this economic downturn.
“Typically, we only extend a special membership offer once a year,” said ATMIA Global Director, Finance & Member Services Sharon Lane. “But this is certainly not shaping up to be a ‘typical’ year and we wanted to do something special to provide extra support to members, just like we did during the financial crisis of 2008-2009.”
The best offer ATMIA has ever put forward, this limited time membership represents a 60 percent discount from regular prices and is $100 less than the Small Business Level membership, but with more benefits. Contact Erika Navarrete to join!

Self service : 5 reasons for retail to embrace self-service
Nothing boosted digital channels and delivery mechanisms the way an innocent looking virus did. But because of this scourge, in the retail environment the customer experience evolved overnight from a feely-touchy, smell and feel, sociable, in-store adventure to a near contactless affair. While the 20-year olds are busy placing their orders online, some customers actually miss ‘going shopping.’ So, it is great to know that there is a way in which we can have the best of both worlds.
Innovation in the form of self-checkout jumps to the rescue. Although this technology has long been used in the UK and the USA, it has yet to find sufficient traction in SA. There has never been a better time than now. Self-checkout offers a host of advantages.

Innovation in Community Access to Cash Pilots unveiled
The Community Access to Cash Pilot (CACP) initiative has today announced the plans for the nine Cash Pilot locations across the UK, where trials are being tested to help address challenges of improving cash access and acceptance.
In June, eight locations were chosen based on the location, the issues the communities faced, and the local people willing to lead the pilots. A further pilot has now been confirmed in Millisle, County Down, Northern Ireland.
