Arizona Tribune - ePayResources and ATMIA Announce Intent to Merge

"This action comes after thoughtful discussions with our boards and leadership teams focusing on how we can best serve our members and the broader financial services community," said Jeff Foote, President & CEO of ePayResources. "By combining our strengths, we will amplify our collective impact, advance payments innovation, expand educational opportunities, and support payment choice."

Under the proposed structure, both ePayResources and ATMIA will continue to serve members under their respective brands, and all member resources and events for both organizations will continue uninterrupted. ATMIA will become a division of ePayResources in a unified organization committed to blending the best of their programs, cultures, and traditions as they empower their members and strengthen the payments industry.

"We are incredibly proud of what both associations have accomplished independently, and we are equally excited by what we can achieve together," said Lonnie C. Talbert, President & CEO of ATMIA. "Together we are taking an exciting step toward a more connected, knowledgeable, and future-ready industry."
