Independent ATMs 2025: Evolution Continues
Bruce Renard, executive director of NAC, and Patrick Conner, chairman, welcome attendees to Las Vegas.
NAC 2025 Serves Up Innovation In Las Vegas
From RetailSystems by Eliot Maras — Attendees who converged on Caesars Palace for last week’s NAC 2025 conference and expo came in search of a better understanding of the role of ATMs in a changing world economy. Three days of education, exhibits and networking in Las Vegas hosted by the National ATM Council certainly delivered plenty of food for thought.
One assumption everyone agreed on is that the independent ATM operator is in a state of change as the economy continues to recover from COVID-19, with operational challenges striking on many fronts.
“As always the industry is very sensitive to the overall economic circumstances in the country,” Bruce Renard, NAC executive director, said in a post-show interview. “As those go up and down, our industry reacts.”
Cash purchases are evolving in the U.S., he said. “As always the industry is very sensitive to the overall economic circumstances in the country. As those go up and down, our industry reacts.”
“As retail generally evolves, we are evolving also,” Renard said. “But I’m not sure how much of that is a transformation as opposed to just current circumstances. For instance, in Los Angeles and California generally, there’s been a very intense effort to address the migrant population there, and it’s been very aggressive and apparently has caused many people to fear going out in their normal daily routines doing shopping and the retail purchasing they normally would do. That whole situation has adversely affected ATM usage in that state.”
There has also been some consolidation in the industry, as well as a stream of new entrants in the industry, he said. “New blood is coming into the industry, and I guess you could call that transformational, but to me, that’s more generational.”
Renard noted that many operator attendees said the show was the best NAC show ever, and cited the following show highlights:
- Remarks by keynote speaker Scott Fitzgerald, a Republican Congressman who offered an update on The Safe Access to Cash Act, which Fitzgerald co-sponsored. “It was very encouraging to hear him say that he thought there was a good chance that we’ll be able to pass the Safe Access to Cash Act this (congressional) session,” Renard said.
- Progress on the antitrust litigation against the credit card companies. “It was also encouraging to hear the lead class counsel on the pending antitrust litigation, NAC versus Visa et al, and in hearing from counsel that we are in the final phas of that litigation and finally being able to look at actually being able to have our day in court and have the matter tried and resolved after almost 15 years prosecuting it.”
- A presentation of Captain Jeff Roberts, head of intelligence operations and founder of the Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center. Roberts offered insights on how ATM operators can better protect their businesses and their people.
- A presentation on diversification opportunities. Renard also heard good comments from a session on diversification opportunities for ATM operators by BodegaAI, which provides a turnkey AI-powered POS for retail that ATM operators can use. The offering includes product recognition, dynamic pricing, margin optimization, SKU level tax automation, retail data analysis, dual pricing and cash discounting compliance tools.
Challenges and opportunities
While research and informal input from operators and suppliers indicate steady growth in ATM use, independent operators face rising costs for data security, theft prevention, regulatory requirements and state-of-the-art management and operational tools.
The more optimistic expectations for the industry are based on aggressive operator adoption of new technology, much of which was evident on both the NAC 2025 trade show floor and during the education sessions.
Grand View Research pegs a 3.6% combined annual growth rate from $26.49 billion in 2025 to $31.64 billion in 2030 for the global ATM market, driven by improved security measures, including biometric and one–time password authentication systems to prevent fraud, and the advent of smart ATMs for users with special needs.
The outlook is especially strong for the ISO (independent sales organization) and IAD (independent ATM deployer) groups as financial institutions find it more economical to outsource ATMs to the independents.
A changing ATM landscape
“In an increasingly low-cash and mobile-focused payments landscape, many of the world’s largest banking groups continue to remove ATMs at scale, while IADs are expanding into areas where cash is still in demand,” Datos Insights noted in a recent research report. “Banks are increasingly migrating branch services to ATMs amid ongoing branch rationalization. For the first time, over half of ATMs worldwide now accept automated deposits, with most of these using recycling technology. As cash withdrawals decline, ATMs are evolving to meet changing customer and bank needs while balancing cost efficiency with service delivery.”
Helen Amos, who led Datos Insights’ Global ATM Intelligence Service research, further remarked: “While we expect to see a continued fall in ATM numbers in coming years, the rate of decline will slow thanks to growth by IADs and expansion projects by banks in emerging economies. At the same time, we will see features such as cash deposit become much more common, meaning that ATMs will continue to play an essential role in the cash flow economy.”
Much of the focus at NAC 2025 was on the expansion of tap-to-pay (NFC), combatting rising ATM theft and new regulatory challenges, all of which will require additional investment.
Tap-to-pay on the move
ATM operators are being driven to embrace NFC by retail POS, which currently surpasses ATMs in tap-to-pay adoption by a considerable margin. NFC integration requires an investment in the necessary hardware and software.
Fortunately, IADs recognize the need to embrace NFC and are responding in kind.
“As more and more processors have certified these (NFC integration) kits, the growth has been pretty steady,” said Scott Weaver, vice president of sales for retail ATMs at Genmega, speaking on a panel about NFC for retail ATMs. “It’s been sort of shocking to see how many of these kits are going out the door now.”
Weaver acknowledged that operators are concerned about the costs of these investments, but he noted that in many instances, it’s the location owners (the ATM operators’ customers) making the requests. And as volume increases, he said, manufacturers may adjust prices.
Theft on the rise
Theft prevention was also a major focus throughout the show, given recent increases in ATM jackpotting, whereby attackers gain access to an ATM’s internal systems and force it to dispense cash on command.
Exhibitor Switch Commerce, a provider of ATM processing and banking solutions, reported that ATM crimes increased from 38,116 incidents in 2024 to 43,757 to date in 2025. The company further noted that cash trapping, where a criminal attaches a device to the dispenser to block cash outflow and then later retrieves it, accounted for 64% of the incidents, followed by 22% from card theft, 7% from skimming and card data compromise, and 7% from transaction reversal.
Fortunately, lock technology continues to offer more ways to prevent ATM theft.
“Locks are really important, and locks are changing,” Renard said during a two-hour session on lock technology which drew an overflow audience. “Locks can do things they couldn’t do before.”
“There have been some substantial technologically advanced products that have come to market during this past year,” agreed session speaker Phil Sutherland, who works in business development at MBA USA, a provider of locks, tools and training for locksmiths and safe technicians.
During the session, Sutherland described different categories of locks, highlighting Sargent & Greenleaf’s new C series cloud based codeless lock that has no keypad and sends a decryption token to a mobile device that unlocks the lock.
Regulatory issues continue
Regulatory challenges, meanwhile, continue to demand industry response, an area where NAC has played a major role.
Nancy Daniels, COO at Hyosung, reviewed the various rules and agencies governing ATM operators during a regulatory update session. Federal initiatives include the Bank Secrecy Act and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, which require businesses considered a Money Service Business to register and follow anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) rules.
In addition, Scott Fitzgerald, a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin, gave updates on the Access to Cash Act and the Fair Access to Banking Act, both of which address access to banking services.
NAC lobbyists Jon Alexander and George LeMaistre, Jr. gave an update on the Payment Choice Act, which would guarantee cash acceptance, in response to financial exclusion of unbanked and underbanked individuals.
Jon Rubin, an antitrust attorney, provided an update on the NAC’s lawsuit against Visa and Mastercard for anticompetitive rules relating to the setting of ATM surcharges.
“We’re at the home stretch,” Rubin said regarding the case, which was originally filed in October of 2011.
The 2026 NAC conference and expo will be at Paris, Las Vegas Oct. 13 to 15.
