Preamble to USA ATM Communication Campaign
To prevent possible future reductions in the service to consumers, gaps need to be addressed through education campaigns, which can be focused on 1) educating consumers and general public on the many benefits and security features of an ATM and 2) promoting understanding of the business models and governance of the vast off-branch ATM sector in America, where the majority of the nation’s ATMs are located.

ATM Industry White Paper - 2010
Tremont Capital and ATMIA have published a white paper analyzing the business model of the off-branch ATM, which now dominates the U.S. ATM market. Tremont Capital Group’s new endorsed study concludes that any further interchange rate reductions by networks or any legislation restricting deployer profitability would severely constrict convenient consumer access to cash. This new white paper can be a standard industry reference for outlining the economics of the ATM in the United States.
You can purchase this white paper by completing the form and returning it to ATMIA.

Legislative & Regulatory Council
Re: Breaking News – Senate Passes Wall Street Reform Bill
Date: July 15, 2010
The Senate just passed the conference report to H.R. 4173, the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The bill passed by a vote of 60 – 39.
In order to secure passage, the bill needed the support of three Republican Senators; Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine. Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin was the only Democrat to vote no, insisting that the bill does not go far enough. The House passed the conference report prior to the July 4 recess. President Obama will likely sign the bill into law next week.
The President’s signature will start the clock on an estimated 250 rule-makings by nearly a dozen federal agencies. Included will be the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Federal Reserve Board’s rule on debit interchange (to be fully implemented one year after enactment). The rule-making process will occur over the next 18 months and some rules may not take effect for over a decade.
During the Legislative & Regulatory conference call scheduled for July 29, we will undertake a deeper analysis of 4173 and develop a strategy to ensure that EFTA’s voice is heard in the rule making process. If you wish to participate on this call please email
