WHAT TO EXPECT IN SEPTEMBER 2020

A follow-up to the Strategic Direction Teleconference held last month in relation to ATMIA’s Industry Position Paper calling for a ban on cashless retail establishments.

Some background information:

In July ATMIA produced an Industry Position Paper to ensure cash remains available as a payment option for in-person transactions below $10,000.

Cash payment options have been undermined during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which some businesses and retail establishments have chosen to ban cash as a payment option. This represents a significant threat to payment choice, the stability of the payment system and discriminates against all cash-users as well as the elderly, disabled and less technologically able people.

ATMIA has been reaching out to numerous associations and organisations outside the ATM Industry to gain their support for a ban on cashless retail outlets in order to keep payment choice alive.

A short survey has been forward to members in this region to provide us with their opinions on the direction of advocacy in this region. Please contact [email protected] for a copy of the survey or the Postion Paper.

Important Notice:

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and in the interest of our industry stakeholders, ATMIA has changed the Sydney event to a virtual platform, this event will be on 8th-10th December and we encourage all industry stakeholders to diaries these dates as we release further details in the coming weeks. Feel free to contact Reena Kaur anytime for further information regarding sponsorship packages.
