Before jumping into purchasing an Atm motor be sure to do your home work. Once you purchase one you still need an Atm business to process the transactions (similar to credit card processing). This narrative will discuss how to pick an Atm business to best service your Atm processing needs and how to make sure you select the right Atm machine.
Hand Held Credit Card Machine
Atm machines have come way down in price since first being introduced to the sell segment in the early 90's. With advances in technology and the whole of beyond doubt good machines still in service we see many used machines for sale on the internet together with auction sites. I urge you to beware of any used motor unless you know exactly where it came from, when it was processing last and who serviced it. Many of these used machines we see for sale are not 3Des (Triple Des) compliant, nor do they have keys or management passwords.
3Des is an encryption process in the key pad and firmware that protects the consumers Pin whole from being stolen when the Atm is dialing the Processor and requesting a transaction. 3Des became a requirement some years ago so we are finding older machines for sale that are very cheap. These Atms are just boat anchors or want expensive upgrades.
If you see any Atm machines for sale that are less than ,000 used be very wary. My guidance is Not to purchase a used Atm unless it is from a reputable business and includes a warranty. I strongly advise staying away from Atm machines sold by secret parties or individuals unless you are very familiar with the brand, model, health and compliant status of that model.
You can get new Atm's for about ,000 (as of this narrative writing) and some refurbished 3Des compliant Atm's for ,000 and up which should include a parts and labor warranty.
Once you purchase an Atm motor you still need Atm processing. Look for an Atm business that specializes in Atm processing (I advise you Google the words "Atm Processing" or check out the author annotation links below).
A reputable Atm business should offer Atm's with or without processing. They would also offer Atm processing only if you already have an Atm Machine. If you have a working Atm motor and know all the passwords and have all the keys a good business should be able to plainly re-program your Atm motor onto their Atm processing platform. To find out if an Atm motor you're inspecting purchasing is compliant we recommended calling some Atm processing Companies.
A Reputable business will typically want a processing business transaction to protect you and them legally as required by sponsoring banks and networks. These agreements are typically 3- 5 years but there are some associates that negotiate fewer years and some that offer just a 2 year business transaction with no sign up fee. We know of a few Atm associates that have an 84 month term (that's 7 years). A lot can change in 7 years, I would advise you keep shopping around if anything tries to make you sign an business transaction longer than 36 months.
Atm Agreements protect you since these associates are inviting your funds when one of your customers withdraws cash from your Atm. They move the funds from that Atm customers bank inventory into your bank account. That should be done nightly except for weekends. Agreements protect the Atm business because many of them don't charge set up fees but incur costs to set up your ideas so it takes them a few months to a year to recapture those costs.
Atm processing rebates range from 85% of the surcharge plus .20 - .25 cents (bank-end revenue) up to 100% of the surcharge plus .20 cents depending on your Atm motor usage volume. Some Atm associates offer a Tiered rebate which is tied to Atm performance.
Some Atm associates also offer Atm equipment at drastically reduced prices to get you to sign a long term processing agreement. This is typically a loss leader so you only look at how cheap the Atm equipment beyond doubt is and don't beyond doubt pay attentiveness to the Atm processing quantum of the deal. Watch out for a deal on Atm equipment that seems "to good to be true". This is certainly case of "you get what you pay for".
If the Atm motor you found is economy than everyone else, make sure you read the term of the processing agreement. Most Atm associates that offer crazy deals on the Atm motor will make you sign a very long term business transaction for Atm processing.
If an Atm business is selling Atms too cheap or offers a rebate that's too high, then something has to suffer. They can't give Atm machines away and give you a high rebate and give you proper service or stay in business. This is a red flag. Remember, they are handling your money. You want them to make money so they stay in business to handle any issues that arise.
The thing that suffers the most when associates give away to much is ordinarily service. Think about what it would cost you if your were getting .10 every time person used your Atm and 300 population per month used it. That's 0 per month. Now, what if your Atm has a problem and you can't get help, or parts or service for a week or longer -- it's costing you per day --- or over 0 a week.
Look for an Atm business with 24 hour 7 day maintain with a toll free number. Then, if you're a business that counts on help late evenings or weekends you should test it and call the whole at 11pm or on a Sunday and see if they answer the phone.
If the phone is answered live that's a pretty good indication of good service. If it goes to voice mail, leave a message -- tell them you're not a buyer yet but you are testing to see how good or fast their 24/7 tech maintain beyond doubt is.
If your call goes unanswered or takes hours to be returned, that is probably a sign of a deal to good to be true.
Summary:
When shopping for an Atm motor expect to pay 00 - 00 for a reliable one.
When shopping for Atm processing look for a deal where you get at least 100% of the surcharge. And if you have or expect to have high volume negotiate for a puny of the "back-end" of the deal (maybe an extra .10 - $.20).
Try not to sign an Atm processing business transaction longer than 2 - 3 years.
Ask for references of other Atm customers and Call them.
Check the Atm business tech maintain claims, is it beyond doubt 24/7 service
Ask how Atm discrepancies "chargebacks" are handled (a good Atm processor will handle them for you).
Ask what if any fees are required to get started (sign up fee, application fee, rebates, etc.)
Watch out for secret fees, bait and switch, etc.
Read the Atm processing business transaction and make sure withdrawn funds are deposited daily (business days).
