ATM Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — qualifying New York locations can receive a free ATM placement with no equipment cost, no installation cost, and no monthly fee. You receive a monthly revenue share from surcharge transactions.

Most performing retail ATMs in New York generate between $150 and $1,200 per month for the location owner on a free placement program. Nightlife and high-volume venues earn more; lower-volume locations earn less. The number is driven by transaction count and the surcharge level.

Most qualifying locations see 75+ customers per day. Bars, restaurants, smoke shops, gas stations, and event venues often qualify even with lower daytime traffic if they have strong evening or weekend volume.

Bars, nightclubs, smoke shops, convenience stores, bodegas, gas stations, restaurants, barbershops, nail salons, hotels, event venues, and laundromats consistently perform well. Cash-friendly customer base + daily foot traffic is the formula.

Most installations are completed in 60–120 minutes on site. Through-wall and drive-up installations take longer because of sleeve fitting and weather sealing. Scheduling typically lands within one to two weeks of approval.

A standard 110V outlet within reach of the chosen spot. ATMs connect to processing wirelessly — no phone line or internet required.

Yes — under the Full-Service free placement program there is no equipment, installation, monthly, or service fee. The operator (us) absorbs all costs and earns revenue from the same surcharge that pays you a monthly share.

Reputable ones do, yes. Our split is negotiated per location — it depends on who loads the cash, who owns the machine, and the location's transaction volume. Locations that load their own cash earn a larger share, and if you purchase the machine outright you keep 100% of the surcharge (you just pay processing fees).

Monthly direct deposit at the end of the month, along with a detailed transaction statement that ties to the revenue calculation.

No. You don't pay if the machine underperforms. We earn from the same surcharge that pays you — if the machine doesn't perform, neither of us makes money.

New retail ATMs range from around $2,200 for entry-level countertop units to $5,500+ for full-feature free-standing models. Certified refurbished units can save 30–50%. Ownership makes sense at higher-volume locations.

No. Our placement program has no monthly fee, no contract minimum, and no early-termination penalty. The only money that changes hands is the monthly revenue share we pay you.

Under the Full-Service program, we do — either via armored courier or technician load, depending on the route. Under Merchant Cash Loading, you load your own cash and keep a larger revenue share.

Most retail ATMs need a cash refill every 2–4 weeks and a service callout once or twice a year for paper jams, card reader cleaning, or minor parts. We monitor uptime remotely and dispatch before issues become customer-visible.

Remote monitoring usually alerts us before customers notice. Same-day technician dispatch is standard during business hours for placement program locations.

Vaulting is the broader cash supply chain — forecasting, armored coordination, balancing, settlement, and reporting. Cash loading (physically loading the cassettes) is one step inside vaulting. We handle vaulting end-to-end on managed locations.

Yes. Online transaction reporting is included so you can verify transaction counts and reconcile revenue share against your bank deposit.

Remote balance monitoring should prevent this under the managed program. If it does happen, request an emergency fill and we'll dispatch the same business day where possible.

Somewhere visible from the entry without crowding service or registers. Common spots: near the front entry, end of bar/counter, restroom corridor, end-cap aisle, or near the host stand.

Free-standing retail ATMs are about 24″ x 24″ at the base and around 50″ tall. Countertop models are smaller. Through-wall models embed into the wall and are accessed from outside or inside the building.

No. Modern ATMs connect to processing via secure wireless cellular — you don't need to provide internet or a phone line.

Generally the ATM carries standard branding from the manufacturer and operator. Custom branding decals and toppers are available for higher-volume locations and venues.

Yes — we coordinate relocations as needed. Routine layout changes are a non-issue.

Yes. Provider switches are routine. We coordinate removal of the old machine and same-visit install of the new one so there's no visible downtime for customers.

We help you read and exit your current contract cleanly. Many ATM contracts are month-to-month or have low-cost exit terms — and the math after switching usually justifies any small early-exit fee.

Typically no. We schedule the swap during off-peak hours, pull the old unit, install the new one, and validate transactions in the same visit. Most customers never notice.

Yes — old-machine removal is included when we install a replacement.

Nautilus Hyosung (Halo II, Force), Genmega (Onyx, G2500, NOVA), Triton (RL5000), and Hantle/Tranax. We sell new and certified refurbished units.

Yes. All machines on our platform run current EMV firmware, and we keep firmware updated as new network requirements are released.

Yes — through-wall installation including sleeve, exterior facia, and weather sealing is part of our standard service offering, especially common at gas stations and standalone retail.

Yes — countertop units (Triton RL5000 Countertop and similar) are available for bars, smoke shops, and tighter retail footprints.

Drive-up installations are available for qualifying locations, primarily at standalone retail and service stations.

All of New York State — from Buffalo and Western NY to NYC and the boroughs, Long Island, the Capital Region, the Finger Lakes, and the Hudson Valley.

When a placement falls outside our direct service area, we connect it to a vetted ATM operator in our partner network. You still work with us; on-the-ground service comes from a partner closer to the location.

We provide ATM placement, installation, sales, vaulting coordination, repair, maintenance, and location acquisition services. If we cannot directly service your location, we may connect you with a trusted ATM operator, installer, vaulting provider, or service partner — without losing the relationship.

Yes. We accept independent operators across New York into the partner network and route geographically matched leads. There's a free operator sign-up on the Partners page.

Surcharge levels are set per machine based on local market norms. We'll recommend a level that maximizes revenue without driving customers away.

Most operators leave this to us based on market data — but if you have a strong preference we'll work with you. Surcharge can be adjusted later if market conditions change.

Yes. Online transaction reporting lets you see every transaction with timestamp, amount, and surcharge so you can reconcile revenue share against your deposit.

Yes — surcharge revenue share is income and should be reported the same way you'd report any other business revenue. We issue annual statements for tax filing.
