TRADITIONAL ATM's:
If you are in a business with a large
volume of cash sales, ATM's are hugely beneficial. These
cash-dispensing machines will increase your sales by giving your
customers access to the cash that they have available to them both on
deposit in their bank accounts and on their credit cards. These
customers often want to spend cash, but they may not have that cash
with them at the time. ATM's are perfect
for convenience stores, grocery stores, malls, bowling alleys,
nightclubs, skating rinks, arcades, and many other types of
businesses where cash is the primary form of payment. The machines are
identical in look and function to the ATM's that your customers
regularly use at their own banks, so they are more than familiar and
comfortable with using them.
Here are just some of the benefits to you:
-
Increased sales. Your customer is not
limited to just the cash already in his pocket. He will be able to
spend additional money with you.
-
Keep your customer there in your business.
Do not gamble on him coming back to spend money with you if he has to
leave to go to a bank ATM, or even worse to one of your competitors,
to get the cash he needs.
-
Customers will come into your business
more often. Just having the "ATM Here" sign outside will bring
customers in who otherwise would not be coming in. Many of these
customers will then spend money with you, not just on that occasion,
but repeatedly in the future.
-
You will make additional fee income by
charging a surcharge, which normally ranges from $2.00-$6.00 for each
transaction. You determine the amount of the surcharge according to
the type of business you are in, along with a number of other
circumstances that you will want to consider. The final decision,
however, is yours.
ATM's come in a variety of types and
sizes, including full size, compact, free standing, wall-mounted,
countertop, and more. One of our experts will consult with you on the
type that is right for you.
CASHLESS ATM's (SCRIP MACHINES):
Get all of the benefits of a traditional
ATM as listed above, but without most of the hassle, and for a lot
less money. With this countertop machine, which is about the size of a
credit card terminal, your customer operates it just like a
traditional ATM. However, rather than dispensing cash directly to the
customer, the machine prints out a receipt that the customer then
gives to your cashier for cash reimbursement.
Advantages Over Traditional ATM's:
-
COST: Traditional ATM's cost
5-10 times more.
-
SIZE: The machine is the
size of a credit card terminal.
-
MOBILITY: Can be easily
moved to any location.
-
CONVENIENCE: No dedicated
phone line needed. No maintenance, care, or feeding necessary. Simply
re-circulate the cash that is already there from your normal operation.
-
INCOME: Merchant may charge
a fee as well, just as on traditional ATM's.
