Surcharge Revenue

2-5 percent of foot traffic will use your ATM. The ATM owner and vault cash provider receive the surcharge revenues. Your overall strategy should be to get as many potential customers to use your machine as possible. It's better to have 400 people a month use your ATM at $1.50 per transaction, than to have 300 people use it for $2.00. While both scenarios generate $600 a month in surcharge revenue, the $1.50 machine gives you an extra 100 customers a month, while putting thousands of dollars into their spending hands.
