That’s right – ATMIA USA concluded its 6^th annual Washington, DC Fly-in last week, March 25-26, meeting with senior staff of seven members – four on the Senate side and three from the House. All of the participants agreed that our discussions were very productive. Those meetings included the offices of Senator Tim Scott (SC), Chairman, Senate Banking, and Congressman Jim Jordan (R-M-03), Chairman, House Judiciary.

The group expressed ATMIA’s appreciation for support of current and future bills addressing key concerns of the ATM industry.  These included:

• Support for H.R.1631 and a companion Senate bill to make ATM crime a felony.

• Support for S.875 and a companion House bill to eliminate de-banking of ATM operators.

• Support for H.R.1138 and a companion Senate bill to require that retail merchants accept cash for in-person transactions.

• Action to Increase competition between debit networks, by allowing ATM operators to route their own transactions.

ATMIA would like to thank NYPD Detective James Lilla and U.S. Secret Service Financial Analyst Vincent Porter for their participation in our meetings.  James and Vincent provided perspective during our discussions that would not have been possible without them. 

Thanks to our 2025 Washington, DC Fly-in Sponsor

Best regards to all.
