Tuesday, June 23, 2026

At the end of July, Michael Bauer, Product Manager at BECU, will retire after an incredible 45 years in the ATM industry. As he embarks on this next chapter, we would like to recognize his many contributions and thank him for his longstanding involvement with ATMIA and the industry as a whole.
Reflecting on his career, Michael shared:
"Throughout my career, the ATMIA community has played an important role in my journey. The conferences, the shared insights, and the resources available through the web portal have all contributed greatly to my professional growth. Equally meaningful has been the chance to build relationships with so many outstanding individuals across the industry—connections that I will always appreciate.
It has been remarkable to see how ATMIA has grown and the value it continues to provide to the industry. Thank you all for your dedication, support, and the many years of collaboration."
Michael also shared that one of the things he will miss most is staying connected to the conversations, education, and networking opportunities that have helped shape the ATM industry throughout his career.
On behalf of everyone at ATMIA, we extend our sincere thanks to Michael for his years of leadership, support, and friendship. We wish him a fulfilling and well-deserved retirement and look forward to seeing where his next adventure takes him.
