The European ATM Security Team creates new membership category

The European ATM Security Team (EAST) has created a new Associate Membership category.  Banks and other approved ATM stakeholders from any country can now apply to join EAST through this category.  For more information visit the Associate Membership page on the EAST website.  According to the related EAST press release:

"In 2011 EAST embarked on a long term strategic planning process designed to take the Group to the next stage of its development. Up to now the focus has been on strengthening our national membership. As many of the threats we are facing are global, and with European ATM related fraud losses now increasingly seen outside of Europe, EAST decided to open the new Associate Membership category globally. It is hoped that this will help to further improve flows of information into and out from the Group. In 2013 EAST is planning to hold its first annual conference, with an Agenda set by our national members.”
