8 Tips On How To Safeguard The Used Of ATM Machines Canada

By Scott Thompson


For over 45 years Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) have been owned and operated by banks and financial institutions. The first ATMs caused resistance in the banking community as they cost over $30,000.00 each and the annual costs of running them were more than the yearly salary of a bank employee. To many businesses, the initial acquisition cost and the cost of running ATM Machines Canada outweighed the potential benefits.

But over time and with recent government deregulation of the teller industry, private investors have been able to buy an ATM and profit from the transaction fees generated from it. As their initial costs have lowered, smaller sites, including general stores and other smaller businesses, have become targets for sites by the private investors in the industry of teller Machines Canada.

Always be alert. Some ATMs are located inside a mall or beside its major bank but, there are some, which are located in dark areas of the city and thieves might be roaming around to look for victims. It is not smart to be careless and unorganized while making a transaction. It is highly advisable to make transactions during the day but, when you need to do it after daytime then, look for someone who can accompany you or look for other people in the area, it's much better if it isn't like a ghost town.

Look for a site with good traffic where the teller will be visible and promoted by the shop owner. Restaurants are not normally good sites, neither are sites where most purchases are paid for on credit cards. Busy cash businesses where customers recognize the need to refill their wallets when they empty them when buying goods in the shops are your target.

Ensure that the teller Company you purchase the tellers from provides you with any siting brochures and sample siting contracts for you use.
