Accommodation
ATMs for hotels, motels and accommodation
Guests need cash for taxis, tips, markets and tours. A lobby ATM answers that at reception instead of sending them out the door — and pays your venue for every withdrawal.
Most enquiries receive a response within 3 hours during business hours.
Why hotels and motels
What an ATM does for hotels and motels
A hotel or motel ATM removes the most common front-desk request there is — "where's the nearest ATM?" — and keeps guest spending on site. Eligible properties get the machine, install, cash and servicing free, plus a share of each withdrawal.
- Answers the most frequent reception question without staff time.
- Overseas guests withdraw AUD on arrival rather than at the airport.
- Supports tipping, tours, taxis and on-site cash purchases.
- Reduces cash handling and float risk at reception.
- Works in 24-hour lobbies, motel breezeways and reception nooks.
What to plan for
Getting the placement right in hotels and motels
24-hour access
Lobby machines in properties with after-hours access earn well overnight. We site them within camera coverage and existing lighting.
International cards
Machines accept international scheme cards, so inbound guests can withdraw AUD without a bank branch visit.
Compact footprint
A free-standing unit needs about 0.5 m² and a standard power point — reception alcoves and lift lobbies usually suit.
Group and chain rollouts
Multi-property groups can be surveyed and installed on a single schedule under one agreement.

Free placement, lease or buy
Three ways to put an ATM into hotels and motels across Australia — pick on cost, volume and how much of the surcharge you want to keep.

| Who owns the machine | ATMcash | Partners or ATMcash | Finance - Lender |
| Best suited to | hotels and motels that want income with zero cost, zero admin and zero cash handling | busier hotels and motels confident of withdrawal volume that want more of the surcharge without buying outright | high-volume hotels and motels — 24-hour sites, highway locations and busy late-trade venues — that are comfortable managing a cash float |

Free ATM placementFixed monthly cost
ATM lease and rental for hotels and motels across Australia

- Fixed monthly rental — no capital outlay
- Larger surcharge share than free placement
- Short and longer rental terms, including event and seasonal hire
- Optional managed cash loading or self-load with your own float
- Upgrade or relocate the unit as your trade changes
Best for busier hotels and motels confident of withdrawal volume that want more of the surcharge without buying outright.
ATM lease & rentalOwn the machine
Buying an ATM machine for hotels and motels across Australia
Buying means you own the ATM and keep 100% of the surcharge. ATMcash supplies new and refurbished units with delivery, installation, staff training, cash-management guidance and ongoing technical support.
- Keep the full surcharge on every withdrawal
- New units with Tap & Go, HD screens and current security standards
- Refurbished units for the lowest entry price, typically 6–12 month payback

Free placement, lease and purchase questions
Yes. For eligible hotels and motels there is no charge for the machine, delivery, installation, cash loading, monitoring or servicing. ATMcash is paid from the transaction surcharge, and you receive an agreed share of it.
About 60cm x 60cm of floor space (or a suitable wall for a through-the-wall unit), a nearby power point, and normal public access during trading hours.
Leasing usually wins once withdrawal volume is high enough that the extra surcharge share outweighs the fixed monthly rental. We model both options from your actual hotel traffic before you decide.
Yes. Once we have several months of real transaction data we can move you onto a rental or purchase arrangement if the numbers work better for you.
Refurbished machines commonly pay back in 6–12 months at moderate volume, and faster at 24-hour or highway sites. We forecast payback from your expected withdrawal count before you buy.
Yes. Purchased machines come with technical support, parts and service options, plus guidance on cash management and reconciliation.

FAQs
ATM for hotels & motels — common questions
Eligibility is based on expected transaction volume rather than property size. Motels on highways, near events or in tourist towns often perform strongly. We assess each site before committing.
Yes. The machines accept international Visa, Mastercard and other scheme cards, so inbound travellers can withdraw Australian dollars in your lobby.
Machines are anchored, alarmed and monitored, and we recommend siting within your CCTV coverage. Cash levels are tracked remotely and replenished on a risk-managed schedule.
Hosts receive a share of the surcharge on each withdrawal, paid regularly. Properties with high overnight and tourist traffic earn the most.
