How Payouts Work

Every ATM withdrawal includes a surcharge paid by the customer. Archer ATM shares that surcharge with you. Your payout arrives monthly with a statement that lists total transactions, uptime, and your share.

  • Typical share: a portion of a $2–$3 surcharge per withdrawal. Exact splits depend on location and model.
  • Payment method: ACH deposit with an emailed statement.
  • Transparency: access to reporting and support for any questions.

What Drives Earnings

  • Foot traffic & visibility: clear signage and a high‑visibility placement matter more than almost anything else.
  • Business type: cash‑leaning environments (laundromats, smoke shops, bars) see higher utilization.
  • Cash management: with a vault‑cash model, faster replenishment can increase completed withdrawals.

Earning Ranges

Results vary by location, but a realistic starting point for many small businesses is 75–150 withdrawals/month. At a $2–$3 surcharge with a shared split, this often translates to a few hundred dollars in monthly passive income—while card fees trend down.

Flat Fee vs. Revenue Share

Some hosts prefer a predictable flat monthly fee; others choose a revenue share for higher potential upside. Archer ATM can model both so you can pick what aligns with your cash‑flow goals.
