Asia Pacific
The year of 2015 for the Asia Pacific region has been one of progress, growth and change. This has been reflected in a long list of major achievements for the Association, especially for this region  
  • Constant updates from the RBA on Next Generation Banknote
From late 2014 the Association has been working closely with the Reserve Bank of Australia in order to ensure an effective deployment of the Next Generation Banknote Programme, with respect to the needs of the ATM industry. In particular, throughout this year ATMIA has maintained close communication with the RBA, providing direct contact details to the relevant staff, allowing all stakeholders of the ATM industry that will be involved in these significant changes to be well informed and prepared of the adjustments associated with the introduction of new currency. The Reserve Bank has also become a regular fixture of our quarterly Government Relations teleconferences, providing regular updates to members of the issues facing the rollout of the programme; this will also continue into next year until the full completion of the Programme.
  • Strong growth in membership numbers
In 2015 the Association in Asia Pacific grew its membership base by over 20%, allowing us to also grow as an engaged and relevant industry association that is able to advocate, represent and work for the interests of the ATM industry. In addition to strong growth in Australia, a significant number of new Indonesian members have also become members subsequent to the Jakarta conference, and the Association looks forward to working more closely with this region in the future. 
  • South East Asian conference
ATMIA together with the RBR hosted our 1st conference in Jakarta, with over 300 delegates attending the event,  the success has now lead to ATMIA producing a regular SE Asian Newsletter to this region. During the course of the event issues discussed included: Crime and theft, the need for physical currency, technological developments and regional integration in areas of industry standards.
  • General 
In 2015 members participation with our GRC’s teleconference has strengthened and I look forward to keep this momentum going next year. 
ATMIA intends to hold a teleconference early in the New Year to discuss the industry issue on DC signage at ATMs-details (TBA). It must be emphasise that this is a RBA-lead initiative involving consultation with ATMIA and other industry bodies and stakeholders.   
Next year, ATMIA will continue to work closely with the Law enforcement agencies, especially with the NSW Police Force as we strive to provide our members with vital criminal industry information. 
A highlight for 2016 inevitably will be our ATMs in Australia event on 10th & 11th August at The Grace Hotel. At this point, I would like to invite any potential speakers to this event to submit your proposal on related topics of interest to members, industry colleagues and conference attendees to Sandra.Smith@atmia.com. We do request that any vendors wanting to present at this event need to support the programme by taking either a booth or a sponsorship.   
Finally, I would like to thank-you all for your continual support this year and I wish you all a Merry Xmas & Happy New Year.  
Warm Regards
Sandra

NSW Police Force publish their highly anticipated Crime Risk Assessment for cash dispenser machines

In May 2015 the NSW Police force published their highly anticipated Crime Risk Assessment for cash dispenser machines, in which members will be able to complete a set of tests and questions in order to assess the risk of crime to their machine. The risk assessment document also contains suggested minimum security standards for all future Cash Dispenser installations, upgrades or change of location in New South Wales. In particular it was noted that the minimum security standards would als be flexible according to the proposed location, and the crime risk rating determined by a variety of risk factors as outlined in the document.

Business Empowerment Portal
Make sure to bookmark our newest resource to all ATMIA members. The business Empowerment Portal is focused on ATM business operation. It includes collections of links to relevant resources, like Best Practices, as well as an interactive map that will take you to regional pages of industry data
ATMIA Committees
As our ATM world changes due to reasons such as IT,  hardware, regulatory, fraud, operator changes, etc. ATMIA is continually ramping up or winding down committees as necessary to keep its members well informed of impending changes. Committees are made up of a cross section of  members and subject matter experts. The work effort on behalf of committee members is minimal but of high caliber. Please take a look at the existing working committees to see if you are interested in becoming involved to guide change.  .https://www.atmia.com/committees/ 
Next Generation ATM Architecture Committee 
Are you interested in joining ATMIA’s new Next Generation ATM Architecture Committee? This committee meets to share next generation projects in the industry, pilots and case studies in order to encourage innovation. It is an interesting and stimulating forum for exploring evolving software, hardware and network architecture in the ATM industry. Please drop Mike Lee a line at mike@atmia.com if you wish to join.
The ATM Industry Association has announced that it has created a new level of membership specifically for financial institutions.  Although FIs have always been an important segment of the membership, this new level combines selected benefits into a package that ATMIA expects to be of particular interest to banks and credit unions of all sizes. 
“ATMIA supports the professionalism of ATM deployers primarily because they take care of the customer touchpoint. The association is proud to announce a customized membership package for Financial Institutions to cater to their unique needs as ATM deployers in a demanding marketplace. Banks and credit unions are likely to find the package of benefits we’re offering both useful and educational,” says ATMIA CEO, Mike Lee. 
One of the objectives of the new level is to allow for more individual members, which means that numerous FI departments can now become fully engaged in ATMIA activities and resources.  Committee groups and Best Practices address ATM-related issues and processes for security, risk management, business development, and compliance, as well as operations.  Financial Institution Members may also designate one representative to participate in their Regional Advisory Board.
“With a growing group of over 90 banks and other organisations amongst our existing members already qualifying for this new category, the ATMIA can rightly claim to represent the whole ATM industry, including Financial Institutions", says Ron Delnevo, ATMIA Europe Executive Director. 
Sharon Lane, Global Director, Finance and Member Services noted that “New benefits are being introduced for the Financial Institution membership level that will be attractive to banks and credit unions globally; including one free course from the ATMIA Academy certified on-line education program.  ATMIA members also gain from the support and knowledge of other members through their membership.” 
More information about Financial Institution Membership is available on ATMIA’s website, as well as from the Executive Director of each ATMIA Region.
