ATMIA Responds to ISO Audit Request

V isa International's request for audits of ISOs and independent contractors and the registration process has spurred ATMIA to address the concerns.

As part of its conference on Feb. 19-22 in Hollywood, Fla., "ATMs Hit The Big Screen," the association will include a presentation focusing on the responsibility of VISA members to manage agent relationships, the integrity of the Visa payment system and important PIN security issues.

A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation and panel discussion. In a time when resources are stretched, ATM industry members are concerned with the possible long-term effect of an audit, especially on smaller, independent companies.

Conference organizers hope the meeting will increase understanding of the audit's full context and allow a forum for industry members to discuss the issues.
