Africa can only achieve true financial inclusion by combining digital innovation with resilient, localised cash infrastructure — with ATMs serving as the primary bridge between the two worlds. Africa’s future financial ecosystem will be hybrid — not digital only. Despite rapid fintech innovation, cash remains foundational across the continent, especially in rural and informal economies. ATMs therefore evolve from simple cash dispensers into critical financial access infrastructure, acting as the bridge between the informal cash economy and emerging digital payment systems.

With Mastercard allowing magstripe-free card issuance beginning in 2027 and the industry’s accelerating shift toward NFC contactless and mobile tap, the question isn’t whether your ATMs support these technologies, it’s whether your entire transaction ecosystem is ready.
Join industry experts for a focused 30-minute discussion exploring the implications for both retail independent and financial institution ATM deployers. We’ll highlight emerging challenges, potential gaps in readiness, and critical questions operators should be asking their ATM vendors, processors, networks, and internal stakeholders.
Designed to spark conversations and help members identify their next steps, this webinar sets the stage for a deeper industry discussion at the ATMIA 2027 Conference breakout session on February 18th, 2027.
Moderator: John Campbell, IV, Sr Director of the US and Americas, ATMIA
