For Business Hosts
Does it cost anything to host an ATM?
No. Hosting is completely free in most cases. Archer ATM covers the machine, installation, insurance and ongoing maintenance. You simply provide a power outlet and a small amount of floor space, then enjoy added foot traffic and optional revenue share.
How do I get paid?
We offer flexible payout options. If you choose a flat‑fee or revenue‑sharing model, surcharge earnings are deposited into your bank account each month. You can select the plan that best fits your traffic level and goals.
What if the machine breaks or runs out of cash?
Our ATMs are remotely monitored 24/7. If there's a technical issue or the cash level drops, our team is notified immediately and dispatches a technician or refills the cash. You never have to worry about maintenance or downtime.
How big is the ATM? Does it need special setup?
Our machines are roughly the size of a standing water cooler and plug into a standard power outlet. They sit flush against a wall and do not require any special construction or wiring.
Can I host more than one ATM?
Yes! If you operate multiple locations or have high foot‑traffic areas within your business, we can place additional machines. We'll work with you to determine the best placement and payout structure.
For ATM Vendors
What kind of placements do you offer vendors?
We partner with established ATM vendors to place machines in verified businesses across Western Pennsylvania. Placements come with pre‑approved contracts and clear revenue‑sharing terms, ensuring long‑term partnerships that benefit both parties.
Do I need to handle cash loading?
No. Archer ATM handles all cash loading and machine maintenance. Vendors simply provide the hardware and occasional technical support if required. Our full‑service approach keeps your operational burden low.
How often do you need new machines?
Demand for ATMs is growing as businesses look for ways to serve cash‑paying customers. We add machines organically based on new host applications and population growth. If you're interested in supplying machines, we'd love to hear from you.

More Details
What types of businesses benefit the most?
High‑traffic locations such as convenience stores, bars, smoke shops, laundromats, car washes and dispensaries often see increased sales when customers have easy access to cash. However, any establishment with regular foot traffic can benefit.
How secure are your ATMs?
Our machines are EMV and PCI compliant, equipped with encrypted pin pads and tamper‑resistant enclosures. We also insure every ATM against damage or theft and monitor them 24/7 for unusual activity.
What if our customers need help using the machine?
ATMs are designed to be intuitive, but if a customer runs into issues, our support line is printed on the machine. We can remotely troubleshoot most problems or dispatch a technician when necessary.
