Australian ATMS upgraded to take ‘chip and pin’ smart cards
Cashcard Australia will overhaul or replace 6000 ATMs to make the network compliant with Europay MasterCard Visa (EMV) technology. Starting this month, ITS will handle the $250 million national upgrade and will ensure the ATM network accepts new microchip cards now being issued by banks and credit card companies. ITS will replace the majority of existing Cashcard ATM models from multiple manufacturers with Wincor Nixdorf ATMs, the first ATM manufacturer to be officially accredited by the Australian Payments Clearing Association (APCA). ![[end]](/resources/bullet/secureidnews-4.gif)
