Brian McLean, Executive Director of ATMIA Africa, has announced reduced member rates for ATMIA Africa members with immediate effect. These new rates form part of ATMIA’s currency compensation policy and willl lead to savings ranging from $125 to $850 for ATMIA Africa members depending on the level of membership chosen.
ATMIA recognises that countries whose currencies are weak relative to the US dollar, particularly those in emerging markets, will find the global fees less affordable.

“As ATM markets tend to be much smaller in the developing world, the companies themselves are smaller, or are local agents or distributors for the multi-nationals,” explained Brian.”They therefore don't have the infrastructure or ready access to finance that is common-place in Europe, USA, etc. We are a capital intensive business, after all.. These new rates make the offering attractively more affordable for such companies in these markets.”
