Dear Valued Member,
The pandemic showed us how to rally together like never before in our industry and I’m sure we will go from strength to strength in 2022, having proved, beyond any reasonable doubt, how resilient the ATM industry is. I salute this strong industry.
Thanks to your support throughout 2021, ATMIA is now in a position to hire a European Content and Advocacy Manager. We are looking for a strong, but diplomatic, person, highly skilled in verbal and written communication, to take our European chapter to the next level, especially in the area of advocacy and communication of industry content. It’ll be a brand new post which will be all about addressing industry issues, while providing vital intelligence to our members in the region.
It’s sad and tragic that a war has recently broken out on the continent; but now, more than ever, we must keep the wheels of business, trade, economic production and the cash cycle turning. This includes our industry, which plays such a vital role in the day-to-day lives of citizens across the world. ATMs and cash help to keep economies ticking. May peace prevail as its time comes.
In just over 200 days, we will meet together again in Berlin for ATMIA’s Europe 2022 ATM & Payments Innovation Summit. This in-person conference in Germany takes place on 19 - 20 October. Celebrating our 25th anniversary of service this year, ATMIA remains deeply committed to Europe. If you wish to speak at this event, please let me know.
Meanwhile, let’s do all we can to keep a level playing field for all our members.
Looking ahead, the architectural blueprint for the future of ATM technology has been agreed upon globally. We have standard APIs for a new API App Model for ATMs. Our industry’s future-proofing over the past few years has been second to none and I haven’t seen many big industries like ours progress so far down the path of reinvention. We are in a GOOD SPACE. Expect more and more innovation: it’s coming on the wings of our Next Gen ATM template.
The industry’s first global intelligence system for combating ATM crime and fraud has been unleashed, too. I’m talking about the ATM Security Association’s Crisis and Crime Management Intelligence System (CCMIS), with over 7,000 global incidents recorded so far. Going beyond reports on national and regional trends, we now have the opportunity to use a powerful worldwide database for a much truer global picture of crime and fraud threats. In addition, the CCMIS provides free access to bona fide law enforcement officers, to enable law enforcement and the industry to work together on combating, at an international level, the real global migration patterns of crime and fraud.
At ATMIA, we have lots of hope for the years that lie ahead. Together, always together, we can achieve so much more than what we can do when divided. It’s time to stay united behind the only international trade association serving all segments of the industry on our level playing-field.

CaixaBank makes quantum computing breakthrough
CaixaBank has joined forces with vendor D-Wave Systems to apply quantum computing in investment portfolio hedging calculation in the insurance sector.
In a proof-of-concept, the Spanish bank's life insurance and pensions company, VidaCaixa, used D-Wave’s Leap quantum cloud service and quantum hybrid solvers to build an application within their investment portfolio selection and allocation, and within their portfolio hedging efforts.
Using D-Wave’s quantum hybrid solver services enabled the bank to code a faster algorithm, which markedly reduces the computing time necessary to improve the investment portfolio hedging.
What normally took the bank several hours of compute time was reduced to just minutes, which, says CaixaBank, meant increased modelling complexity, allowing for a more dynamic model that is better adapted to real-time markets.
The bank is now evaluating putting the application into regular production not only in VidaCaixa but in other areas in the organisation, over the coming months.
“We have always been an innovation-first organization, and very early on we recognized that investing in quantum computing could help us more efficiently provide state-of-the art products and services in order to offer the best client experience," says Gonzalo Gortazar, CEO, CaixaBank.

Tesco Bank brings biometric onboarding to new Pay+ shopping app
Tesco Bank is using biometric authentication technology from Onfido to speed up onboarding for its Clubcard Pay+ account, through which users can ring-fence their grocery spend from any existing bank account.
Launched in January, Tesco Clubcard Pay+ enables members to pay with their Clubcard and pick up extra loyalty points wherever they shop. Clubcard Pay+ also gives shoppers the power to save while they shop by rounding up their purchases to the nearest pound, saving the difference into a Round Up account.
Tesco says the partnership with Onfido streamlines the process for customer onboarding. Rather than filling out postal applications, customers can apply directly through the Tesco Bank mobile banking app using a photo of a government-issued identity document (ID) and a selfie. Onfido first checks that the ID is genuine and then matches it with the user’s face. Additional features, such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Autofill, extracts data from the ID to prefill the application form to streamline the account opening process further.
“The world of banking and e-commerce has changed significantly in recent years and customers are increasingly looking for integrated, seamless experiences,” says Sigga Sigurdardottir, chief customer officer at Tesco Bank. “By partnering with Onfido, we’re building on our reputation as a trusted high street bank with the addition of innovative technology that gives customers the best digital experience possible.”
