We put ATMs in Western PA businesses. You keep a cut of every withdrawal.
Archer ATM is a one-man ATM company based in Butler, Pennsylvania. I buy the machine, deliver it, bolt it down, keep it loaded with cash, and insure it. It costs you nothing. Your share of the surcharge lands in your bank account daily, and if anything ever goes wrong you call me — not a call center.
Most placements go from application to a working machine in about a week.

How it works
- You apply. The form asks for your address, business type, and a rough sense of your foot traffic. I'll usually call you back the same business day with a payout estimate.
- I install the machine. Delivery is free. The ATM is about the size of a standing water cooler, plugs into a normal outlet, and gets bolted to the floor. I handle the paperwork, the EMV/PCI compliance, and the insurance.
- You get paid. Every withdrawal carries a surcharge, and your share of it is deposited to your account daily. You also get your own login to the processor portal, so you can check transactions and deposits whenever you like — you never have to take my word for the numbers.
Agreements are short and written in plain English. I keep hosts by being good at this, not by locking anyone into a long contract.
What a real placement looks like
A laundromat here in Butler hosts one of my machines. It does about a dozen withdrawals a day and pays the owner over $240 a month, and in its first six months it hasn't been down once. Laundromats are a good fit because so many customers still pay in quarters and cash, but the same math works in bars, convenience stores, smoke shops, social clubs, and anywhere else people need cash on hand.
I wrote up the details, including how the payout is calculated, in the laundromat case study. If your business is a different type, there are notes on bars, convenience stores, laundromats, dispensaries, skill games, VFWs and social clubs, auto shops, and tattoo and barber shops.
The questions everyone asks
- What does it cost me?
- Nothing. No equipment cost, no service fees, no freight bill. You provide floor space and an outlet.
- Who loads the cash?
- I do. The machine is monitored remotely, so I refill it before it runs dry and I know about faults before you do.
- What if it breaks at a bad time?
- Call me at (724) 264-8181. Most problems can be fixed remotely; for the rest, I drive out. I live here — I'm not dispatching a contractor from three states away.
More detail, including payout models and security, is on the FAQ page.
See if your location qualifies
The application takes about a minute and doesn't commit you to anything. If your spot isn't a good fit, I'll tell you that too — a machine that doesn't get used is bad for both of us.
