How to Buy an ATM Machine with Boston North Company
Adding an ATM to your business is more than a convenience—it’s a revenue opportunity. From retail shops and gas stations to cafés and clubs, having an in-house ATM makes it easier for customers to access cash, often resulting in increased spending.
For business owners across New England, Boston North Company provides expert guidance on how to buy an ATM machine that fits your space, customer base, and budget. Whether you’re buying your first machine or expanding to multiple locations, Boston North Company can help streamline the process from selection to installation.
Why Buying an ATM Is a Smart Business Move
Purchasing an ATM machine offers multiple benefits, especially for high-traffic businesses. ATMs create passive income by generating surcharge revenue every time a customer makes a withdrawal. Unlike leased or shared machines, owning your ATM means you keep up to 100% of those fees.
ATMs also increase foot traffic. When customers know they can grab cash onsite, they’re more likely to stop in—and more likely to spend. Research suggests up to 30% of the money withdrawn from a store-based ATM is spent at that location. Plus, offering ATM access enhances your customer service by reducing their need to visit an off-site bank.
What to Consider Before Buying an ATM
Before diving into how to buy an ATM machine, it’s important to understand a few key considerations. First, evaluate your available space. Boston North Company offers freestanding units, wall-mount options like the Genmega Onyx-W, and through-the-wall machines like the Genmega GT5000 and Nautilus Hyosung 2800T—ideal for maximizing floor space.
Next, estimate expected traffic and usage. High-volume spots like convenience stores may require larger-capacity models with robust vaults, while boutique or seasonal shops can benefit from compact units like the Hantle 1700 Series.
Also, consider tech features. Do you need EMV chip readers? Digital wallet compatibility? Multi-currency support? Machines like the Genmega G2500 or Hyosung HALO II offer different combinations of features and price points.

How to Buy an ATM Machine Step-by-Step
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to buy an ATM machine with Boston North Company:
- Step 1: Choose the Right Program
Select between full ownership (you buy and load the machine, keeping 100% of the surcharge) or the Client Assist Program, where Boston North Company stocks the machine and you receive a share of the surcharge. - Step 2: Select Your ATM Model
Choose from top-rated brands like Genmega, Hyosung, or Hantle based on your location, volume, and feature requirements. - Step 3: Installation and Setup
Boston North Company handles the installation, programming, and training so your staff knows how to operate and manage the machine. - Step 4: Monitor and Maintain
Stay informed with remote monitoring and rely on our 24/7 support team if issues arise.
With Boston North Company’s expertise, this process is straightforward and designed to be stress-free for business owners.
Understanding Costs, Revenue, and ROI
Buying an ATM does involve upfront investment—machine cost, installation, and any desired upgrades like touchscreen displays or electronic locks. However, the return on investment is often fast. Businesses with steady traffic can break even within months through surcharge revenue alone.
Owning your ATM also gives you pricing control, so you determine the fee per transaction. Machines that are EMV compliant and PCI-certified offer additional value, ensuring long-term reliability and data security. Whether your business earns from 50 or 500 transactions per month, the revenue potential is solid and recurring.
