ATCS 2.1 Closures of facilities of designated firms

When a cash access facility of a designated firm is the subject of a relevant closure, the designated firm must give notification in writing to:

1. (1)

   the FCA;

2. (2)

   any designated coordination body; and

3. (3)

   any non-participating designated firm.

Notification under ATCS 2.1.1R must:

1. (1)

   in the case of a planned relevant closure, be given as soon as reasonably practicable once the designated firm has made its decision;

2. (2)

   in the case of an unplanned relevant closure, be given as soon as reasonably practicable once the designated firm is satisfied that it will happen; and

3. (3)

   give details of the relevant closure, including:

   1. (a)

      the address or location of the cash access facility;

   2. (b)

      details of the specified cash access services that will be lost if it is a full closure, or how they will be impacted if it is not;

   3. (c)

      details of any specified cash access facility features that will be lost if it is a full closure, or how they will be impacted if it is not; and

   4. (d)

      the expected date of the relevant closure, if known.

Where a designated firm has given notification under ATCS 2.1.1R but decides or is satisfied at any time thereafter that the relevant closure will no longer happen, it must promptly give notification of the change in writing to the persons set out in ATCS 2.1.1R.
