Outdoor ATM FAQ - Frequently
Asked Questions
How
much does an outdoor ATM cost?
Our least expensive model is $4795 and shipping is extra.
It includes the mounting hardware.
Do
I keep all of the surcharge money collected?
You get all of the surcharge fees that you place on your
machine. We return the vault cash taken out every 48 hours
into your bank account. We send you the surcharge money
monthly.
Who
provides the money for an Outdoor ATM?
You provide the money for your own ATM. This is called the
vault cash.
How much vault cash should I put into the Outdoor ATM?
Try $5000 at first until you see how fast this is withdrawn.
Some machines hold $20,000 and some financial institutions
prefer to fill up the machine to capacity.
How
much are monthly fees for Outdoor ATM processing?
There are no monthly fees or network access fees with our
ATM processing.
What
is the warranty on an automated teller machine?
Most ATMs have a 1 year warranty and 90 days labor.
What
happens when the ATM runs out of receipt paper?
Usually the first roll of ATM paper comes with the outdoor
cash you purchase. Sometimes this is a starter roll. We
also send you an extra roll within the first week or two
that the machine is operating so a backup is ready for installation.
When the second roll is installed, call us, or call our
paper supplier directly and purchase additional rolls at
the same amount that we pay for it.
Do Outdoor ATMs need programmed like Indoor ATMs?
Yes, outdoor cash machines need programmed with terminal
ID information, master encryption keys, and receipt information.
Some ATM cash machines are programmed with this information
before it leaves the factory. Some banks and financial institutions
will require a technician to come and program the ATM on
location after it is mounted in a walk up or drive up configuration.
How
much is shipping? Is shipping available to every state in
the USA?
Yes, we can get ATMs delivered to every state in the US.
Shipping can be anywhere from $100 on up depending where
the machine will be located and how remote your location
is. Outdoor ATM cash machines are heavier than stand up
machines. Therefore shipping is higher. Also, any upgrades
in cash dispensers, vault design, and vault access can add
the overall weight of the outdoor machine and will carry
a higher shipping charge.
How
do I get service for my Outdoor ATM? What if my ATM breaks?
Service is available nationwide through OutdoorATM.com There
is a large network of ATM techs across the country that
are ready to be deployed in case of an ATM needing repair.
In reality, the ATMs we sell at OutdoorATM.com rarely break
down. And today's ATM is designed to be service friendly.
In some cases a part can be simply taken out and replaced
very easily. The ATM owner can make most repairs themselves
this way, and can save service call fees.
What
if I don't want to buy an Outdoor ATM but I need one in
my business?
It depends on the location, but generally it is difficult
to get an Outdoor ATM placed. First of all a hole must be
cut in the wall. Or an outdoor kiosk must be installed to
accommodate the ATM. This can be costly and usually prevents
most companies from placing outdoor ATMs in other businesses.
Contact us to see if your ATM location warrants an Outdoor
placement.
What if I already have a processor? Can I buy an Outdoor
ATM and have it processed by another company?
Our machines are priced low for a reason. We price them
near wholesale and recoup any profit from ATM networks over
time. For it to be profitable for us, it takes two or three
years of processing your ATM. .
For ATMs we sell and do not process, add $395.
Can
Outdoor ATMs conduct after hours deposits?
Currently, the only machine that we recommend is the Tranax
MBS5000. It is designed for banks and financial institutions
who require deposit capabilities. The optional deposit module
can print the deposit data right on the envelope. The MBS
5000 is available now for this purpose.
Can
a foreign credit card be used in the ATM?
Foreign cards work in our outdoor ATMs, however foreign
credit cards cannot be surcharged.
If a foreign credit card is used in your automated teller
machine you will not receive your normal $1.50 or $2.00
surcharge for that transaction. These cards are considered
surcharge free. There are a few exceptions beginning to
emerge. Keep checking back with OutdoorATM.com and we will
update this information when we get the latest information.
Is there a limit to how much can be taken out of the
machine? Can a limit be set at $100?
ATM banking and processing regulations state that an ATM
customer must be able to take out at $200 if they choose.
You cannot set a limit of $100. The average transaction
is $60 and hardly anyone withdraws $200, however you must
give an ATM customer that ability
What
is the difference between a Weatherproof ATM, a Weather
resistant ATM and a Weatherized ATM?
A
weatherproof ATM and a weatherized ATM are basically interchangeable
terms. They are made to withstand the effects of weather.
A weather resistant ATM is not as suited for outdoor use
as a weatherproof ATM is. Weather resistant ATMs should
be protected by some kind of overhang or awning. All outdoor
ATMs should be temperature protected though. Unless you
live in a state like Southern California, or Hawaii, where
temperatures stay in normal operating ranges.
Do
you sell ATM kiosks for outdoor use?
Yes we do. ATM kiosks are built by various companies for
certain models of outdoor ATM cash machines. Call or contact
us for pricing and availability. Some outdoor kiosks are
heated and cooled to maintain an ATM within it's operating
ranges. Outdoor ATM kiosks are not inexpensive. They have
to be made strong and durable to withstand the rigors of
use and the outdoor elements.
What
if I need an indoor cash machine for my location? Do you
sell Mini-ATMs?
