Why convenience stores, markets and corner stores do well with an ATM
Small tickets are where card fees hurt most. A customer who pulls forty dollars from your machine pays cash for the next three visits.
An ATM sign in the window pulls people in who would not otherwise have stopped, and most of them buy something.
Neighborhood stores serve customers who use cash for everything. Being the block's ATM makes you the block's store.
What fits your store
Most corner stores fit one Genmega machine near the register. If you cash checks, sell lottery or accept cash for bill pay, expect higher volume and tell us so we size the cassette correctly.
Three ways to put an ATM in your store
01Free placement
California Merchant Solutions buys the machine, installs and bolts it down, programs it, handles the processing, loads the cash, monitors it, maintains it and supplies the paper, with 24/7 support. You provide a power outlet and about three square feet of floor. You earn a share of the surcharge on every withdrawal.
02Merchant loaded
We supply and support the machine, you load it with your own cash. Because your money is doing the work, the surcharge split moves in your favor, typically 50/50 or a base amount per transaction. Withdrawn funds are redeposited to your account within 48 hours.
03Buy your own
Own the ATM outright, keep the whole surcharge and use our processing with no contract. Processing is free once the machine does 300 or more transactions a month, which is ordinary volume for a busy store. We ship in five to ten business days with express shipping and lift gate included, and every machine carries a parts warranty.
