If you have any sort of business that deals with money, then there is a very high chance that you could really benefit from an ATM Machine. Everyone has heard of ATMs before, and more than likely used one. They are, of course, Automatic Teller Machines. The customer sticks in their bank card, pays a small fee, and out comes money! Magnificent. Installing an ATM Machine can be a source of income in itself because by installing and managing an ATM in your business, you will get a portion of the fees that are paid when people take money out. It may only be a dollar or two, but if you see a high amount of foot traffic in your business, then this can really add up.
ATMs are great, however, they also come with risk (as does anything great that has the potential to make you money). There is a lot that can go wrong when you are responsible for an ATM. It can get vandalized or robbed, it can malfunction and cause serious issues for you and the customer, and it can simply break down. There is so much more to running and managing an ATM than physically installing it. And if you do rely on your ATM as a source of income, any downtime will cost you money (and potentially customers). After all, how many times have you gone to purchase something, and then changed your mind because the closest ATM was not working? Believe me, it happens. But it shouldn’t happen to you. Because there are companies out there who have the specialized skill to manage and maintain ATMs for you. One of these companies is Sectran Security.

Difference between ATM and Self-Service Teller Machine.
Most businesses can benefit from having an ATM on their premises, and some businesses will want to go one step further with a self-service teller machine. Specifically, banks and financial institutions. If part of your business involves the use of a teller (like at a bank), then you can benefit from the installation of a self-service teller machine. The difference between the self-service teller and an ATM is simply the functions that they can do. ATMs have one or two purposes: Withdrawal and/or deposit money. Many times, a simple ATM that only allows withdrawal of money is necessary. Sometimes you will want the customer to be able to deposit money. But if you also want them to complete other teller functions such as cash or print checks, then you will want to upgrade to a self-service teller machine.
As mentioned, it is really only financial institutions that will benefit from the extra teller machine, but it is good to know that if you do require it, that Sectran Security has the expertise to help.
How does Sectran Security manage your ATMs and self-service teller machines?
Exactly what services you will require from Sectran Security will depend on your business, and how busy you expect to be. Sectran Security offers weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, on call replenishment and emergency ATM services, and the same for self-service teller machines. They also take charge of the relationship with the second line maintenance (SLM) service provider to lower your overall costs and maximize the uptime on your machines. So, no matter what is going on with your machines, they will have a solution. As they say, time is money, but what they really meant is that ATMs are money! And having one that doesn’t work is basically the same as not having one at all. So put your money where your mouth is, and contact the experts and watch as the customers and their ATM and teller fees come rolling in!
