Earn Additional Revenue with an ATM Machine in your Establishment
Having an ATM Machine in your establishment not only increases the average amount that visitors spend but it also allows you to earn additional revenue in your physical location. Every time a customer withdraws funds from an ATM Machine in your location you receive a hefty percentage of the surcharge (typical earnings are from $0.50 cents to over $2.00 per withdrawal!). Some locations even qualify for free ATM placement - where you pay nothing to receive the ATM but still earn nice commissions each time someone withdraws funds from that ATM in your location. - Find out more about our ATM Machine Placement services...
