ATM Processing - Merchant F.A.Q. |
- Who gets the surcharge?
The owner
of the ATM determines how the surcharge revenue is distributed.
None of the surcharge goes to ATM Express.
- How much is the surcharge?
The average
surcharge is $1.75, but can be setat any amount, depending
on limitations set by the law in your area. Without limitations,
surcharge is determined by the ATM Owner.
- When do I get my money?
The money
dispensed by the ATM (vault cash) and the surcharge revenue
are deposited into your account via the Federal Reserve
the next business day. Funds from Monday will be available
on Tuesday; Tuesday's on Wednesday; & Thursday's on Friday.
Weekend transactions that on Friday (occur after normal processor
business hours), Saturday, and Sunday deposit on Monday.
- What happens when someone
does not get enough money?
This is extremely rare, but if this does
happen, the customer should call their bank to verify the
completion of the transaction on their account. If a withdrawal
was made from the account and you did not get the money, a "Regulation
E Claim" should be filed with the issuer of the card. ATM
Express should be contacted with continued problems. Our
toll free phone number is on the ATM surcharge sticker.
NEVER give the customer money; you may not get it back!!
- What happens when the
ATM does not work?
Contact your local representative.
- What are my expenses?
If you have
a free placement you will have no expenses. If you purchase
or lease an ATM you will need to pay one-time charges for
the ATM or your monthly lease payment. The ATM will require
a standard telephone line and a standard electrical outlet.
One roll of receipt paper is provided with the machine and
typically lasts 5-6 months; additional rolls cost less than
$10.
- Are there additional expenses
not covered here?
No. There are no additional statement fees,
service charges, or transaction fees.
