Why gas stations do well with an ATM
Gas stations already attract cash customers who come inside to prepay at the pump. An ATM turns that trip inside into a withdrawal and often a snack, a drink or a pack of cigarettes.
Stations near freeways, casinos, event venues and border crossings see steady ATM traffic from people who need cash for the next stop.
A high traffic station can support a higher capacity machine or a second unit. We size and restock to match your volume.
What fits your store
Place the machine inside the store where it is visible from the pumps and covered by your cameras. We bolt it to the floor and program it on site.
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 Withdrawn funds are redeposited to your account within 48 hours.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.

What we handle on a full service placement
We buy the ATM, deliver it, install and bolt it down, program it, run the processing, load the cash, monitor it remotely, maintain and repair it, supply the paper and answer the phone 24/7. Your part is a power outlet and about three square feet of floor.
Where we place
Across Southern California, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire.
Venues we put ATMs in
Beyond storefronts we place and service machines in dispensaries, gas stations, night clubs, shopping centers, hotels, stadiums, airports, resorts, golf courses, parking lots, public spaces and any cash only business. If people are standing somewhere and paying cash, a machine belongs there.
Frequently asked questions
Does the gas station pay anything for the ATM?
No. Under full service placement we buy the machine, install it, load the cash, process the transactions and maintain it. You provide power and about three square feet of floor.
How much does a gas station ATM make?
A machine doing 300 withdrawals a month at a $3.25 surcharge produces about $1,000 a month in surcharge. Under free placement you receive a share. Busy stations can do far more.
Can we load our own cash to earn more?
Yes. The merchant loaded program pays a larger split, typically 50/50 or a base amount per transaction, because your cash is doing the work. Plan on loading about $4,000 every four days at a typical location.
What about vandalism or theft?
Machines are bolted down, monitored remotely and placed inside within view of the counter. We recommend keeping the ATM in camera view and we handle repairs on full service machines.
Can you support a chain of stations?
Yes. We place, monitor and service multiple locations under one account and one statement.
