The ATM Industry Association has announced that it will form a new committee to monitor developments regarding EMV for the U.S. market.
The committee will listen to and address concerns and issues about proposed EMV implementation in the U.S. in order to ensure a strong coordinated response throughout the industry.
CEO Mike Lee explained that the new committee was ATMIA's response to a number of ATM industry concerns that have already been raised.
"Now that Canada, along with most countries, is far down the road of EMV migration, there is a need to manage possible fraud migration to the U.S. and to keep our members informed of developments in this space. It is also important to hear concerns from our members, whether about costs or new technologies that might 'trump' EMV, so that we can create a collective industry voice on this vital issue."
Industry members interested in joining the committee can contact Mike Lee at mike@atmia.com. There is no fee involved. Committee members will meet via conference calls on a quarterly basis.
