How to Choose the Perfect Spot for Your ATM in a Small Business

Published August 15, 2025 by Archer ATM

Placement Best Practices

  • Position the ATM near the entrance or checkout so customers see it immediately
  • Ensure bright lighting and visibility to enhance safety and comfort
  • Keep the area clean and accessible, with clear signage guiding customers
  • Place near a power outlet and ensure the back of the machine is secure

High‑Performing Locations

  • Next to point‑of‑sale counters in bars and convenience stores
  • By the entrance of laundromats or lobbies of apartment complexes
  • In high foot traffic corridors where people naturally gather

Data‑Driven Optimization

Our team monitors transaction data and can suggest repositioning your ATM to maximize usage. We look at foot traffic patterns and customer behavior to help you get the most from your machine.
