ATM processing questions, answered.
How do ATM owners make money?
ATM owners earn revenue from the surcharge charged on withdrawals and may receive a share of interchange income, depending on their processing agreement. The amount they keep depends on processing fees, cash handling, maintenance and other operating costs.
Is owning an ATM profitable?
Profitability depends on the location, withdrawal volume, surcharge and operating costs. Compare expected revenue with processing fees, cash replenishment and service costs before deciding. Our team can help you understand the processing side of that calculation.
What does an ATM processor actually do?
An ATM processor connects your machine to the banking networks, authorizes transactions and settles funds to your account. Your agreement defines the fees, revenue sharing and settlement schedule.
How do I choose an ATM processing company?
Compare the surcharge and interchange split, all fees, settlement timing and the support you’ll receive. Ask who handles activation and hardware issues. ATMTrader and NationalLink bring hardware and processing together through one company.
How long does it take to switch ATM processors?
Timing depends on your machine, current processing setup and the requirements for the transition. NationalLink can review your setup and confirm the steps and expected timing before you switch.
