Option one (1) - Full Turn Key Operation whereby an ATM company provides a complete service back to the merchant including vaulting the ATM with cash and in most cases the ATM company will pay the merchant a commission on a monthly basis based on the numbers of ATM cash withdrawals during a one month cycle.

Option two (2) - the merchant can choose to purchase their own machine.

Option three (3) - the merchant can apply for a Lease from an ATM Leasing company.

Q.: Under a Full Turnkey services option.  What would the commission structure be back to me the business owner?

 

A.: The commission structure can vary based on the business type you are in and the amount of the surcharge being assessed to the end customer. Locations such as night clubs may carry a higher commission structure due to the fact that these types of locations carry a much higher surcharge amount. Other factors that may come into play are hours of operations and how many days the merchant is open for business.
