The ATM Industry Association (ATMIA) recognised exceptional contributions to the global ATM and payments industry during its Europe and Emerging Markets (EEM25) Summit, held at the Park Plaza Victoria in London.

The Exceptional Achievement Award was presented to Axel de Blok from dormakaba, honouring his steadfast loyalty, leadership, and long-standing support for ATMIA and the wider industry.

A brand-new category, the ATMIA Game Changer Award, was awarded to Euronet for their groundbreaking Technology for Social Good initiative. By using ATM infrastructure to help locate missing persons across Europe, Euronet has demonstrated how technology can be harnessed to make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
