ATM Placement: ATM Placement in Your Business- Questions to Ask

So, you are thinking about ATM placement in your business or store. Before you commit to any one machine or supply company, you need to do some homework. As with any new business venture, investing in an ATM machine means committing to some new costs. You want to weigh the possible income against the costs to see if it is a lucrative step to take.

Automatic Card ATM distributors offers some important questions you should ask when shopping around for your ATM placement:

• Should you lease or buy? Automatic Card ATM sells ATM machines because we want our customers to enjoy the full benefit of the profits. This will allow you to take the full surcharge of each transaction. We know that profits are the bottom line.

• How do I choose a machine?

There are several things to take into account when choosing a machine. How much space can you dedicate to it? Will it be inside or outside? Portable or permanent? Luckily, there are machines of all shapes and sizes to suit whatever you need.

• Who maintains the machine?

When you get the machine, the ATM distributor who installs it will typically give you a guidebook and instructions on basic maintenance. However, a package of services is usually available that includes everything from 24-hour tech support to processing the transactions. Most also offer real-time access so you can monitor daily transactions as well as providing you with monthly reports.

• What about insurance and security?

Yes, you need to insure the machine for theft, fire and other damages. Surely you've seen the images of a smashed in storefront where someone has pulled a smash-n-grab on an ATM machine. It may be possible to add it to your existing policy. Alarms can also be installed as well as security cameras.

• Maybe most important: How do you get paid?

When you install the machine, you need to decide how much of a surcharge to place on each transaction. The average is about $2 and you definitely don't want to have the highest fee in town. So, check around, see what other machines are charging and go from there.

When a transaction is processed, the funds from the withdrawal as well as the surcharge are deposited into your account, usually in a day or so.

Of course, there are a lot of questions you need to think about before the ATM placement is complete. These are just a few of the main points you want to address ahead of time to make sure you are making the best decision for your business.

And, of course, you want to make sure it's going to make you money.
