Dear Valued Member,
A strong, safe and successful 2022 to you!
2021 was a miracle year for ATMIA, thanks to a resilient industry and beautiful support from our members, not to mention good timing for our events. I was also deeply touched by the amazing advocacy donations of our members which were at all-time record highs. I will not ever forget this generosity at such a critical time for our industry. And our strong cash flow position resulting from our miracle year of 2021 puts us in a good position to deliver all our member services in 2022 and to continue to serve the industry by encouraging its protection, pre-eminence and growth. It is very pleasing to know that we celebrate ATMIA’s 25th year of service in 2022 in such a solid, well-founded position – a true blessing for all.
Even though the pandemic has a long tail, the end is in sight when we can enjoy a new normal world where the coronavirus has become like a flu we just live with. Our industry is ready and raring to go for a full renewal and even a reinvention. Trust me – I’m a futurist 😊. Seriously, though, certified Next Gen ATMs and Next Gen products are already rolling off the production line and there’s strong, ongoing demand both for cash services and for availability of the premier self-service channel in financial services – namely the ATM. The future for ATMs is no longer just over the horizon – it’s here, in our very midst. The vision we formulated almost a decade ago in March 2012 to take us to the year 2050 is on track to come true!
“Believing in the power and convenience of self-service technology, and in the longevity of cash, we commit our industry to the goal of ensuring that the ATM remains the dominant and best global channel in the payment space up to 2050 and beyond.”

I’m super-proud, too, of the security sector of our industry. The ATM Security Association (ASA), run by ATMIA, has an amazing new Crisis and Crime Management Intelligence System (CCMIS) with 1,676 intelligence reports recorded on this searchable, global database, representing no fewer than 7,083 incidents. This powerful new tool, along with our ASA library of ATM security best practices, and our online security training course, will protect our global ATM assets for years to come. In Q1, the first truly global, data-based crime intelligence report will be produced from the exponentially growing CCMIS.
I can’t wait to see many of you at our in-person events, starting with the US event in February in Orlando.

News From ATMIA Members Worldwide

ASSI Global announces:
ASSI Global Limited announces the launch of a newly patented ATM Cash Spoiling device, NoteBond™, which averts theft by dispensing specially formulated glue on the outer edges of the notes in the ATM cassette, leaving the central portion of the stack unbonded which means that the notes are unusable by criminals.
The significant benefit to ATM owners is that, if the glued notes are recovered, they can be presented to the Central Bank, who can then identify the notes and refund the value to the ATM owner.
NoteBond™ is able to combine DNA markers to our glue to assist in the identification of recovered notes.
