11 February 2003.A leading executive at Cashcard Australia has been elected to serve on the International Executive Board of the global ATM Industry Association (ATMIA). The appointment of Cashcard Sales Director, Ken Gaunt, to a senior role within this global industry body recognises Cashcards influential position within the international ATM sector.
With over 17 years experience in IT and office automation sales, Mr Gaunt is best known for co-founding Electronic Banking Solutions which operated an installed base of over 2500 ATMs around Australia prior to its acquisition by Cashcard in October 2002.
