The ATM Industry Association has created a new membership classification for financial institutions. According to a press release from ATMIA, this new membership level combines selected benefits into a package specifically tailored for banks and credit unions.
"The association is proud to announce a customized membership package for financial institutions to cater to their unique needs as ATM deployers in a demanding marketplace," ATMIA CEO Mike Lee said in a statement. "Banks and credit unions are likely to find the package of benefits we're offering both useful and educational."
One of the objectives of the new membership category is to encompass more individuals — allowing a wider range of FI departments to become fully engaged in ATMIA activities and resources. Committee groups and best practices for the category address ATM-related issues and processes for security, risk management, business development, compliance and operations. Financial institution members also may designate one representative to participate in their regional advisory board.
"With a growing group of more than 90 banks and other organizations amongst our existing members already qualifying for this new category, the ATMIA can rightly claim to represent the whole ATM industry, including financial institutions," ATMIA Europe Executive Director for Europe Ron Delnevo said in the release.
Further information about financial institution membership is available from the ATMIA website, and from the executive director of each region.
The ATM Industry Association, founded in 1997, is a global non-profit trade association with over 10,500 members in 65 countries. The membership base covers the full range of this worldwide industry comprising over 2.2 million installed ATMs.
