Archer ATM · Butler, PA
A free ATM for your store, and a cut of every withdrawal.
I'm Chris Nichols. I run Archer ATM by myself out of Butler. I put the machine in, bolt it to the floor, keep cash in it and fix it when it acts up. It costs you nothing. Each month you get paid for the withdrawals it did, with a statement that shows them.
It fits best in bars, convenience stores, smoke shops and laundromats. Those are places where people walk in wanting cash and then spend some of it with you.
Or call or text me at (724) 264-8181. I answer that phone myself.
What you do and what I do
You give me about two square feet of floor near an outlet. That's the whole list.
I buy the machine, bring it in, install it and register it. I load the cash, change the receipt paper and handle repairs. When something breaks you call me, not a 1-800 number, and I'm the one who drives over.
The person using the machine pays the surcharge. Your share is either a cut of each surcharge or a flat amount per withdrawal, whichever we agree on, and it's written down in a short agreement you can read in one sitting. You're paid monthly.
Already have an ATM in the store?
A lot of convenience stores do. Send me your last statement or just tell me what you get per withdrawal. If I can't pay you more, I'll tell you so and you keep what you have. If the old machine is worn out, or the company that put it in stopped answering, read buyouts and replacements.
If you'd rather own a machine outright and keep the whole surcharge, I sell them too. See buying an ATM.
What one machine has done
A laundromat in Butler averages around 12 withdrawals a day, and the owner's share has run over $240 a month. Laundromats are about the best fit there is, because so many customers walk in needing cash for the machines. A bar or a store will do different numbers. The laundromat write-up has the details, and the calculator gives a rough monthly figure for your own traffic.
