Buying an ATM

How to Buy an Automated Teller Machine

Step-by-Step Guide to owning an ATM Machine
1. Who gets the ATM surcharge ?

The owner of the ATM can get up to 100% of the surcharge in certain scenarios. If the owner buys or owns the equipment outright and puts the cash inside the machine then they are a candidate to receive 100% of the surcharge profit. Owning your own ATM machine can be a lucrative and worthwhile investment for a business.

If a business owner is looking for a free placement of an automated teller machine or needs a vault cash provider to put the money inside the ATM machine then the percentage of the surcharge profit will be distributed differently. Every scenario will present a different distribution model and all possibilities will be negotiable with the ATM Express local representative.

2. Can the ATM surcharge be split ?

Yes, the surcharge can be split and deposited into any bank account in the USA. The surcharge can be split into multiple bank accounts as well.

3. How much is the ATM surcharge ?

The average surcharge is $1.50 but can be set at any amount. This will usually depend on the ATM owner and the transaction volume of the location.
