Upcoming ATMIA Events:

Although it is often assumed that the fastest growing ATM markets in the world are in Asia, Retail Banking Research (RBR) has shown that it is the Middle East and Africa, taken as one region of emerging markets, which is growing at the highest rate. And that is only one reason why RBR and ATMIA are teaming up for their first ever ATM conference in the Middle East.

 “Middle Eastern ATMs” takes place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Dubai on 3rd & 4th December, 2007

It kicks off with a case study by Al-Rajhi Bank looking at ATM network management challenges and best practice in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Later in the conference, branch transformation in the kingdom will be assessed. Bank Sepah (Iran) will give an “inside” overview of the Iranian ATM market and Bank Saderat will address the issue of rapid deployment of ATMs in the country. By analysing data collected via the Iranian national interbank switch "Shetab", the future of the country's electronic banking business can be forecast up to 2015. This analysis by the Central Bank of Iran will highlight the great need for ATMs in Iran.  There will also be presentations on payment systems implementation from Morocco’s Hightech Payment Systems and a presentation from De La Rue telling the story of the world’s fastest banknote order in history – the Iraqi Dinar.

Arab Banking Corporation will share key insights into remote retail banking channels in Egypt. Qatar National Bank will look at aspects of retail banking in Qatar. There will also be bank case studies from the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. ATM and card developments in Turkey, EMV migration in UAE and the migration to Windows-based ATMs will be important topics covered during the conference. Payment system implementation success stories across the Middle East will provide a panoramic view of payments developments in the region. Other conference topics include the future of the ATM in the Middle East, Outsourcing of ATM and debit card management in the Middle East and high-level ATM security issues presented Graham McKay, Executive Director, ATMIA Europe and Middle East. RBR will provide professional forecasting for the Middle East and Africa and present statistics and insights into how the region’s ATM markets are evolving.
