New member: First Data International – Board Members           

As a result of the Life Cycle & Compliance teleconference ATMIA together with the security division of E-Bay has been successful in stopping the sale of ATMs via E-Bay. ATMIA will continue to monitor this situation.

Minutes to Life Cycle/Compliance and Asia Pacific teleconference is now available on the ATMIA website

We would like to congratulate Sharon Waterhouse from Newcastle Permanent Building Society on her new position as a Global Member on the ATMIA Board.  

With the announcement of the Victorian Government that ATMs will be excluded in gaming venues by 2012, the ATMIA has been proactive by working together with a committee to develop a message to Australian Politicians on the need to still have ATMs in these locations. We are in the process of finalizing this message on a unified front for the industry developed by this Committee.

Please Note: The latest criminal statistical information on ATMs for NSW.2008 is now available on our website.
