ATCS 8.2.4G
  1. (1)

    1A designated firm may not be in a position to give a definitive date under ATCS 8.2.2R(8). For example, it may still be negotiating a lease of premises. In such circumstances, the designated firm should provide its best estimate of the date or range of dates, explaining why it is unable at that point to be more definitive.

  2. (2)

    Examples of where the published information should be updated are where there has been a review under ATCS 9, where no additional cash access services will be provided as a result of ATCS 8.1.11R or where the cash access assessment has been updated under ATCS 8.1.12R.
