Wishing You Joy and Prosperity This Holiday Season
Monday, December 15, 2025

Dear Members and Friends of ATMIA,
As we wrap up another year of growth and progress, I extend my warmest holiday greetings to each of you.
2025 has been a transformative year for our organization and our global ATM community. One of our most significant milestones was unifying the ATM Security Association and ATMIA into a single, inclusive membership—bringing all our resources, expertise, and collaboration under one roof. As part of this integration, we also expanded access to the CCMIS database, enabling all members to report ATM crime, view current trends, and leverage a centralized resource to support security awareness and prevention across the industry. This shared visibility strengthens our collective ability to respond proactively to emerging threats while delivering a more seamless and valuable experience for every member.
We also launched the new ATMIA Chatbot, AVA, offering instant support, faster responses, and easy access to the information you need. This tool reflects our commitment to modernizing how we serve you and ensuring help is always at your fingertips.
These achievements—alongside ongoing progress in advocacy and security initiatives—are possible because of your engagement, expertise, and unwavering support.
Looking ahead to 2026, the opportunities before us are exciting. We remain dedicated to enhancing member value, advancing global ATM security and reliability, and championing the future of cash access worldwide. With your partnership, I am confident that the coming year will bring even greater success for our industry.
May this holiday season bring you joy, peace, and meaningful time with loved ones. Thank you for being an essential part of the ATMIA family.
Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
Lonnie C. Talbert
