ABOUT EAST
Founded in February 2004 EAST is a non-profit organisation whose National Members are committed to
gathering information from, and disseminating EAST outputs to, ATM deployers and networks within their
countries/regions. While the main focus of EAST is on ATMs, the Group also focuses on all payment
terminals that have a direct impact on crime perpetrated at ATM locations.
Our mission is to gather and provide information to the European ATM industry and to facilitate effective
representation of ATM related security issues at relevant European central institutions, through a panEuropean co-ordination of ATM security resources.
EAST has set up a framework network structure to improve co-operation with industry, law enforcement, and
in particular Europol, in order to achieve awareness and better results in the fight against organized crossborder crime. EAST National Members represent 34 countries with a total deployment of 1,332,228 ATMs.
The EAST Expert Group on ATM Fraud (EGAF), formed in May 2013, provides a European specialist expert
forum for discussion of ATM related fraud trends, fraud methodologies and counter-measures. Through a
system of ATM Fraud Alerts EAST EGAF is able to communicate important and timely information to its
National and Associate Members.
The EAST Expert Group on ATM Physical Attacks (EGAP), formed in May 2014, provides a European
specialist expert forum for discussion of ATM related physical attack trends, attack methodologies and
counter-measures. Through a system of ATM Physical Attack Alerts EAST EGAP is able to communicate
important and timely information to its National and Associate Members.
The EAST Payments Task Force (EPTF), launched in January 2016, provides a European specialist forum
for discussion of security issues affecting the payments industry and for the gathering, collation and
dissemination of related information and statistics.
