Read the article: Think Your ATMs are ADA A-OK? Think Again

Every year, numerous financial institutions are hit with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) lawsuits which can cost up to $55K just for the first violation. However, there are some concrete steps financial institutions can take to keep themselves out of trouble.

FTSI was able to get some assistance in navigating these compliance pitfalls from Chris Palamountain, an attorney with experience dealing with ADA lawsuits.

In this article, “Think Your ATMs are ADA A-OK? Think Again,” you’ll learn:

  • ATM reach requirements
  • How to plan for ADA compliance
  • How to combat fraudulent ADA claims

Keep in mind that it takes constant work to meet ADA compliance standards and you can find detailed specifics on them here. Additionally, if you have not phased out certain older ATMs like Personas, which NCR is ending service for in 2017, they will be hard-pressed to meet compliance standards. 

Your financial institution’s brand must be maintained for each and every customer interaction at every ATM which is why FTSI offers a Standards and Compliance program that establishes a consistent appearance by conducting a complete field audit. Our personnel then recommend repairs and/or painting of the exterior fascia, signage, and ensure compliance for all ADA and network requirements.

FTSI strives to protect your ATMs from all threats including ADA fines. Keep an eye on our blogs and social media posts for the latest updates on this and other industry trends!
