Get Paid to Host an ATM – Is It Worth It?

Heard about businesses getting paid to host an ATM and wondering if it’s legit? Good news: it is — and it might be one of the easiest ways to earn hands-free, recurring income from your existing foot traffic.

💰 How Do You Get Paid?

Every time a customer uses the ATM inside your business, they pay a small convenience fee (called a surcharge). Archer ATM shares that fee with you. That means:

📊 How Much Can I Make?

It depends on your traffic. But here’s a basic estimate:

Some hosts make even more — and they never touch the machine once.

🔄 What Do I Need to Do?

Almost nothing:

  1. Contact Archer ATM and we assess your space
  2. We install the machine and signage
  3. We handle restocking, insurance, tech support
  4. You get paid monthly — no fees, no obligations

⚙️ Optional: Vault Cash Partnership

Want to earn more? Some business owners choose to load the ATM with their own cash, keeping more of the surcharge revenue. We call this a vault cash model — higher payout, a bit more responsibility.

🏆 Is It Worth It?

If you’ve got foot traffic, it’s almost always a yes. Hosting an ATM gives your customers more payment options, brings in extra cash flow, and costs you nothing upfront.
