ATMIA London Summit Shines a Light on Cash and Choice

ATMIA London Summit Shines a Light on Cash and Choice

As autumn settles over London, the community behind the ATM industry will gather at the Park Plaza Hotel in London for a global conversation that puts cash and payment freedom centre stage. The ATMIA Europe & Emerging Markets Summit 2025, October 14–15 will be a place to discuss the future of money, keeping all options open, not just digital ones.

Why Everyone’s Talking About Cash

Forget the hype about a cashless world, this summit is a reminder that cash is still the backbone of financial inclusion. When tech stumbles or networks go out, cash picks up the slack. It protects privacy, gives instant access, and works for everyone, everywhere. “Enabling Choice and Shaping the Future of Financial Inclusion” isn’t just the event’s theme; it’s a statement about keeping payment options practical for real life.

At the Summit, attendees will connect with partners across the cash cycle, including ICA, ESTA, Bargeld Zählt, and many more, adding depth to debates about preserving choice and access.

Expect a diverse crowd:

• Bankers
• ATM manufacturers
• Fintech pioneers
• Regulators
• Tech innovators

Ideas and perspectives will land from across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, and farther afield, showing how payment reality shifts from city centers to remote communities.

On the agenda there will be:

• AI-powered ATMs that rethink how cash is delivered
• Emerging technologies for better access and user experience
• Payment innovation where digital and cash work side by side
• Real talk about financial literacy and consumer empowerment
• Fresh views on regulation and policy
• Collaboration between fintechs and cash specialists
• Cybersecurity and fraud prevention making all payments safer[1]

The Game Changer

Highlight: The ATM Game Changer Award celebrates leaders driving real-world change—whether through innovative technology or expanding access to cash. Nominations have now been submitted, and winners have been selected from both mature and emerging markets. The winners will be officially announced at the Summit.

Stepping Back: Why London, Why Now?

London is the perfect place to ask what payment freedom means. Cash, card, app, true inclusion puts choice first. As headlines chase the next fintech fix, this summit stands up for the value of keeping cash available, accessible, and just plain normal.
