ATMIA hosts Middle Eastern ATMs conference

October 23, 2007

LONDON - Although it is often assumed that the fastest growing ATM markets in the world are in Asia, Retail Banking Research has shown that the Middle East and Africa, taken as one region of emerging markets, is growing at the highest rate. In response, RBR and the ATM Industry Association are teaming up for their first ever ATM conference in the Middle East.
 
"Middle Eastern ATMs" takes place in Dubai Dec. 3-4.
 
The conference is set to kick off with a case study by Al-Rajhi Bank that examines ATM-network management challenges and best practice in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Later in the conference, branch transformation in the kingdom will be discussed.
 
From there, Bank Sepah (Iran) will give an overview of the Iranian ATM market and Bank Saderat will address rapid ATM deployments in the country. By analyzing data collected via the Iranian national interbank switch, Shetab, an 8-year forecast for the future of the country's electronic banking business can be put together. And the Central Bank of Iran will highlight the great need for ATMs in Iran.  
 
Morocco's Hightech Payment Systems also is slated to host a presentation about payments networks, and a presentation from De La Rue will tell the story of the world's fastest banknote order in history - the Iraqi Dinar.
 
Arab Banking Corp. will share insights into remote retail banking channels in Egypt. Qatar National Bank will look at aspects of retail banking in Qatar. There also will be bank case studies from the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
 
ATM and card developments in Turkey, EMV migration in UAE and the migration to Windows-based ATMs will be important topics covered during the conference. Payment system implementation success stories across the Middle East will provide a panoramic view of payments developments in the region. Other conference topics include the future of the ATM in the Middle East, Outsourcing of ATM and debit card management in the Middle East and high-level ATM security issues. RBR will provide professional forecasting for the Middle East and Africa and present statistics and insights into how the region's ATM markets are evolving.
