Honest Guide

Do You Actually Need an ATM?

Published August 22, 2025 by Archer ATM

Everyone says you need an ATM. Let’s be honest about whether it actually makes sense for your business.

Not for everyone.

If your customers exclusively use cards, skip the ATM. But if cash still moves at your location, an ATM can quietly turn convenience into monthly income.

Who Typically Benefits

  • Convenience Stores: lottery, small purchases
  • Bars: tips, cover charges, cash-only specials
  • Laundromats: coin changers & machines
  • Skill Game Parlors & Dispensaries: cash-first models

The Real Benefit

An onsite ATM means customers don’t leave to find cash elsewhere—they withdraw and spend right inside your four walls. It boosts basket sizes and keeps the line moving.
