Supporting the Future of Our Industry: Why Your Industry Fund Contribution Matters

As the global voice of the ATM industry, ATMIA has always been dedicated to building a strong, sustainable, and forward-looking future for ATMs and cash services. Our members — from banks and independent ATM deployers to manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers — form a united community that shares a common goal: to protect and promote access to cash and maintain a vibrant ATM ecosystem.

A key part of that effort is the Industry Fund, included within ATMIA membership renewals. This contribution directly supports our industry-wide advocacy, research, and thought leadership initiatives — helping us ensure a favourable environment for ATMs and cash services for the benefit of consumers everywhere.

Why the Industry Fund Is Essential

The ATM and cash services industry continues to face increasing challenges — from regulatory changes and financial pressures to evolving payment technologies and shifts in consumer behaviour. These developments make it more important than ever to have a strong, coordinated voice representing our industry’s interests.

The Industry Fund provides the foundation for that voice. Your contributions enable ATMIA to:

• Advocate for fair and balanced regulation that safeguards access to cash and supports the long-term viability of ATM operations.
• Engage with policymakers, regulators, and industry bodies to promote an environment where cash remains a trusted and accessible payment choice.
• Understand the challenges and priorities of our members across Europe and globally, ensuring that our advocacy efforts reflect what truly matters to you.
• Invest in thought leadership, including ATMIA White Papers, market studies, industry reports, and newsletter articles that deliver deep insight into emerging trends, technologies, and best practices shaping our sector.

Your Industry Fund contribution fuels the research and communications that inform, inspire, and guide our members — keeping ATMIA at the forefront of industry knowledge and policy influence.

Thought Leadership: Insight that Drives the Industry Forward

ATMIA’s thought leadership is one of the most valued benefits of membership, and it is made possible in large part by Industry Fund support.

Through comprehensive White Papers, in-depth market studies, and timely newsletter articles, we share expert analysis and guidance on topics such as cash access, ATM innovation, digital integration, security, and the evolving role of ATMs in financial inclusion.

These resources not only keep our members informed but also strengthen the position of our industry in public and regulatory discussions — showcasing the critical role that ATMs and cash continue to play in supporting economies and communities around the world.

By continuing your Industry Fund contribution, you are helping ensure that ATMIA can keep producing these valuable resources and insights that drive strategic decision-making and industry development.

Every Industry Fund contribution, included within your membership renewal, represents a vital commitment to the collective success of our industry.

Together, we can build a more connected, resilient, and forward-looking ATM ecosystem.
