Top Benefits to Having an ATM in Your Business
Alicia Blanda • April 1, 2022

Credit card companies have been waging a war on cash, and so far they have failed. According to the Brinks CEO Doug Pertz, Americans still want to pay with cash, and what they really need is access.

 

Would your business benefit from having an ATM on site? Odd are the answer is yes! Here are the top 5 reasons you may want to have an ATM installed in your business: 


Encourage New Customers

With more than 4,000 financial institutions closing branches in 2021 and experts predicting closures won’t slow down in 2022, Americans need independent ATMs more than ever. While it’s nice for a retailer to draw customers into their store to use the ATM and receive income from it, the real benefit is increased sales. Once inside your store, ATM users often see something they want, or remember something they were intending to pick up. Since they are already inside, they frequently make a purchase. Statistics provided by the Javelin 2020 Health of Cash study show that 65% of ATM users spend as much as 40% of their cash in the store where the ATM is located. Not only have you provided a vital service – easy cash access, but you’ve likely gained a new customer who knows where they can reliably pick up cash.

 

Consumers Want Payment Options

A vast majority of Americans (82%) feel it’s important for a store to accept cash payments. Given that a quarter of Americans are unbanked or underbanked, and many Gen Z consumers are opting for cash as a better way to manage their budget, businesses that provide an ATM are more likely to see a boost in traffic. No matter what type of business you own, chances are you attract a wide variety of customers from different backgrounds. Many prefer to use cash, and for many, it’s their only option. For your store to cater to all of your community, having card and cash options is a must, so why not go a step further and provide an ATM too?

 

Keep Customer in Your Business

When a cash-paying customer finds themselves with an empty wallet, what are their options? Without an ATM on hand, they will be forced to abandon the purchase and seek cash elsewhere.  But why take the risk of directing a customer to another location? Chances are they might find what they need along the way or rethink their purchase due to lack of convenience. Having an ATM in on-site protects you from losing sales.

 

Additional Income Stream

In addition to providing convenience, an ATM brings in extra income. Having an ATM installed in your business not only increases your store sales, but you get a nice bonus to your income every time a user swipes their card at the machine.

 

Reduce Expenses

Most credit card companies charge a merchant fee between 1.5%-3.5%. By encouraging your customers to take advantage of the ATM and pay in cash, you not only earn money when they use the machine but you save by not having to dish out money towards card processing fees.

 

No matter the type of business you have, chances are you’ll benefit in the form of increased sales and extra revenue, customer loyalty and savings on card processing fees with an ATM on-site.  Contact us to find out if you qualify for a FREE, turn-key ATM.

That's exactly why partnering with BFC Enterprises to select and manage your amusement games is a smart move. You get expertly matched equipment that maximizes fun, keeps customers engaged, and hits your revenue goals, without any of the guesswork or hassle. Game Selection Backed by Real Experience BFC Enterprises has spent decades placing games in all kinds of business environments. We've seen what works in shopping centers versus family restaurants. We know which games draw teenagers at youth sports facilities and which ones keep adults entertained at bars while they wait for their food. When we evaluate your location, we're looking at your customer base, your foot traffic patterns, and your available space. We're thinking about who's walking through your doors, how long they typically stay, and what kind of entertainment matches their vibe. Then we match game styles to those factors for optimal performance. You shouldn't have to figure this out through expensive trial and error. We already know what works. Maximize Play and Profit Here's a truth every business owner should know: not all amusement games perform equally in every location. Some games get tons of attention and consistent play. Others just take up space. We use data and hands-on experience to choose games that will actually get played. We place the ones that grab attention, generate consistent activity, and deliver the highest revenue return. This means more passive income for you without spending months testing different machines to see what sticks. Think of it this way: we're not just dropping random equipment in your location and hoping for the best. We're strategically placing proven performers that match your specific environment. That's the difference between a few extra bucks a month and a meaningful revenue stream. Regular Rotation Without the Hassle Even the best games can get stale after a while. That's why we don't just set it and forget it. BFC Enterprises actively monitors game performance at your location. When we notice engagement dropping or when there's an opportunity to refresh things, we rotate games to keep your customers interested and having fun. We also select seasonal prizes that keep people playing longer and coming back to see what's new. The best part? You don’t have to track any of this yourself. We handle the strategy, the swaps, and the prize selection. Your customers stay entertained, and you keep earning, all without lifting a finger. Full-Service Support You Can Count On When you partner with BFC Enterprises , you're not just getting equipment delivered and left behind. You're getting complete, ongoing support. We handle compatibility issues, maintenance, prize stocking, and repairs. If something breaks, you're not scrambling to fix it or figure out who to call. Our team takes care of everything while you focus on what you do best – serving your customers and running your business. This is truly passive income. No headaches, no technical problems to solve, no wondering if you picked the right equipment. Just steady earnings from games that work. The Bottom Line Adding amusement games to your location is a smart way to increase customer engagement, extend dwell time, and create an additional revenue stream. But only if you choose the right games and manage them properly. When you partner with BFC Enterprises, you get the best-performing, highest-return amusement setup – customized specifically to your business and your customers – without any of the work. We bring the expertise, the equipment, and the ongoing support. You bring the space and the customers. Together, we create more fun, more engagement, and more profit. Ready to get started?
