An ATM operator is required to comply with specific prescribed requirements as set out in regulatory guidelines. Failure to adhere to these requirements can result in the operator committing an offence, which is subject to legal scrutiny and potential enforcement actions.

The regulatory framework establishes the parameters within which ATM operators must operate, ensuring compliance with security, operational, and reporting obligations. Non-compliance not only exposes the operator to penalties but also undermines the integrity of the financial system.
