The Canada chapter of the ATM Industry Association has formed a new committee that will focus on government relations.The committee will provide a forum to deal with the rising tide of proposed legislation and to keep ATMIA members informed about legislation affecting the Canadian ATM industry.
"Over the last few months, ATMIA and the Canadian Bank Machine Association have been working on a plan to unite the industry — to create one single, strong voice to monitor legislation and regulatory issues that could hurt our industry and the bottom lines of ATM businesses," said Curt Binns, executive director of ATMIA Canada. "As an industry we are stronger when we work together than we are separately."
Founding members of the GRC committee include Access Cash General Partnership, Cash N Go ATM Network, Direct Cash Management Inc., Stanley Frisco ATMs and Threshold Financial Technologies Inc.Chris Chandler, president of Access Cash, will lead the committee.
"I am looking forward to serving the ATM industry as Chairman of the Canadian GRC," Chandler said in the announcement. "I believe by working together we can affect positive change that will help protect the future health and vitality of our industry."
