All you have to do is to provide the space (about .6 by .6 meters), a dedicated power outlet and a telephone line or internet connection.

You never have to worry about anything related to the ATM – but you do earn money by having it located at your establishment.

Absolutely! You control how much the surcharge is but keep in mind, the lower the surcharge the less income you make.

The average ATM surcharge in Canada is currently $2.00. Most hotels and tourist areas set their surcharge a bit higher – at $2.50, and most major Canadian banks charge anywhere from $2.50 to $3.00. Virtually all ATMs set their withdrawal limit to $400.00 per surcharge transaction. Customers may check their balance or transfer funds through the machine without paying a surcharge.

Why Place an ATM inside your hotel, motel or resort? Out of town guests may not have a local bank or they may not know where the closest ATM is located. Why not provide the instant convenience of ATM cash machine access for all your guests? Your hotel, motel or resort strives to provide outstanding customer service to your guests. Offering your guests the convenience of an ATM is a significant way that you can enhance guest satisfaction in addition to providing them with a valuable service.

Access to an ATM in your hotel or motel lobby means instant cash in the pockets and wallets of your guests. But it gets better – studies show that the installation of an automatic teller machine facilitates spending money in hotel gift shops, coffee shops, restaurants and lounges. In fact, statistics indicate that typically 25% of the cash withdrawn from an Automated Teller Machine is spent on the premises. This number can be vastly increased in your hotel, resort or inn, if your facility offers other guest services such as dining, bars and night life, pools, gift shops, concierge, laundry rooms, vending machines, a spa or room service.

  • By increasing traffic through your bar, club or pub

Studies show that the installation of an Automated Teller Machine facilitates spending money in the location where the money is withdrawn. In fact, statistics indicate that typically, 25% of the cash withdrawn from an Automated Teller Machine is spent on the premises of the business where the ATM is located. That means more profits for you!

The ATM Fees you earn from providing an ATM at your location will be directly deposited into your bank account.

You will receive a monthly statement, free of charge which shows the daily details of your ATM usage and the percentage of the surcharges that you have earned. We will deposit your portion of the transaction surcharges to your designated bank account.

There are no hidden fees or costs!

The only ongoing expenses you will incur will be for electricity (to power your ATM).

Once your new ATM has been in service for one month, you will receive a detailed monthly report that sets out the total number of transactions, total cash dispensed and total surcharge revenue you earned for the month. **** The actual amount you earn will depend on two factors:

  1. Number of transactions processed on your ATM.
  2. The surcharge amount you choose to charge your customer.
Your revenue is then based on how much the ATM is used. We will directly deposit your earnings to your designated bank account on the first business day of the following month.

The ATM Industry’s rule of thumb holds that generally 3 – 5% of passers by who see an ATM machine in an establishment will likely use the ATM. So let’s assume that you have a total of 300 people a day coming through your doors, and let’s say that you are charging a $2.50 surcharge per ATM transaction.

Lets also assume that your business is open 30 days a month. If you take the middle ground and expect that 4% of the people that see the ATM machine will use it, you can count on your ATM machine to generate a minimum of 360 transactions per month. To calculate your earnings you would take these 360 transactions and multiply them by the $2.50 transaction surcharge. That comes out to $900.00 per month or a total of $10,800.00 per year. All that from one ATM machine at one location.

You should take into account whether your establishment accepts credit cards or gives cash back at the point of sale (POS). If it does then the lower end of the rule would apply and it might even reduce the number by as much as 20%. A similar formula is used for hotels or big commercial buildings. With hotels, we take the number of rooms, times the occupancy rate and apply the same plus or minus 10% rule. So if your hotel has 150 rooms with an 80% occupancy rate you might expect 110 – 135 monthly transactions. If your hotel has any events or banquet rooms, that number would be proportionately higher during those times. Similarly with commercial buildings (office buildings, or meeting facilities for example) you can expect that 10% of the total number of employees working in the building, and / or the number of annual meeting attendees, will use the ATM on a monthly basis. You should calculate the number of days per month that the cash machine will be used based on the number of days that the companies in your building are open, and/or the number of days that meeting facilities are rented.

All our machines are securely bolted to the floor and have advanced devices that can be fitted to thwart theft if required.

Alternatively if you would not like the machine bolted to the floor we do offer other means of securing the machine.

If you feel that your ATM is vulnerable, you can always install additional lighting, security cameras, and an alarm system. Other than adding cameras and alarm systems, there are a some additional common sense security measures you can put in place:

Whenever possible, install your ATM indoors and away from large glass windows and doors.

Ensure that the space around your ATM is well lit. You will significantly reduce the risk of theft or robbery if the area where your ATM is located is brightly lit. Your customers will also feel safer using an ATM in an area that is well lit.

Install an alarm system in the building in which your ATM is located. Thieves will generally avoid ATM locations which are well lit and alarmed.
