ATMs for petrol stations and service stations
Install an ATM at your fuel site with no upfront cost. We supply, install, load and maintain the machine — you earn from every withdrawal and keep cash spending inside your shop.
Most enquiries receive a response within 3 hours during business hours.
Direct answer
Can a petrol station get an ATM installed for free?
Yes — eligible Australian petrol stations, service stations, roadhouses and truck stops can have an ATM supplied, installed, cash-loaded and serviced at no cost, and receive a share of the surcharge on every withdrawal. Operators who prefer full control can lease or buy the machine instead and keep the entire surcharge.
Fuel retail is one of the strongest ATM environments in Australia. Sites trade long hours, sit on main roads and highways, and serve customers who want cash for tolls, markets, tradespeople, tips and travel. When there is no ATM on site, that customer drives to a shopping centre and spends the cash — and the shop basket — somewhere else.
ATMcash places and manages ATMs for independent fuel sites, branded franchise service stations, multi-site groups, roadhouses, truck stops and convenience-led forecourts in every state and territory. Whichever model you choose, the machine, the signage and the cash logistics are handled to a national standard.
Why fuel sites
What an on-site ATM does for a service station
Extra revenue with no stock risk
Surcharge income per withdrawal, with no inventory to buy, no wastage and no margin squeeze from fuel pricing.
Higher shop spend
Cash withdrawn on the forecourt is routinely spent on the forecourt — drinks, tobacco, snacks, ice and car wash.
More walk-in traffic
Being the nearest cash point in the area brings in non-fuel customers, especially after hours when banks are closed.
Fewer card-fee headaches
Cash-paying customers reduce merchant fee load on low-value shop transactions.
24-hour suitability
Hardened units, anchored installation and remote monitoring suit late-night and unattended-shop trading.
Multi-site consistency
Groups get identical hardware, reporting and service levels across every site in the network.

FAQ
Petrol and service station ATM questions
Can I get a free ATM for my petrol station?
Yes. Eligible Australian petrol stations, service stations and roadhouses can have an ATM supplied, installed, cash-loaded and maintained at no cost, and receive a share of the surcharge on every withdrawal. Eligibility is based on customer volume, trading hours and site security rather than fuel brand.
How much can a service station earn from an ATM?
Earnings depend on withdrawal volume and the agreed revenue share. A typical suburban service station processes several hundred withdrawals a month; a highway roadhouse or 24-hour site processes considerably more. We forecast expected monthly income from your traffic before you commit.
Should I buy, lease or take free placement for a fuel site?
Free placement suits sites that want zero cost and zero admin. Leasing suits operators who want a fixed monthly cost and a larger surcharge share. Buying suits high-volume highway and 24-hour sites where keeping 100% of the surcharge pays the machine off fastest.
Does an ATM increase shop sales at a petrol station?
Cash withdrawn on site is very often spent on site. Drinks, tobacco, snacks and car-wash purchases commonly rise once customers no longer have to drive elsewhere for cash, and the ATM also draws non-fuel walk-in traffic.
Who loads the cash and who handles faults?
On free placement and managed plans we do. Cash replenishment is scheduled to your withdrawal pattern, machines are monitored remotely, and faults are logged and attended without your staff having to open the machine.
Do you install ATMs at regional and highway sites?
Yes. We place and service ATMs at regional service stations, highway roadhouses and truck stops across all states, on scheduled service runs rather than metro-only coverage.
How long does installation take?
Most petrol station installations are completed in a single visit of two to three hours, with no need to close the shop or the forecourt.

Free placement, lease or buy
Three ways to put an ATM into petrol and service stations across Australia — pick on cost, volume and how much of the surcharge you want to keep.
| What matters | Free placement | Lease / rental | Buy outright |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Nil | Nil | Purchase price |
| Ongoing cost | Nil | Fixed monthly rental | Cash float and servicing |
| Your share of surcharge | Agreed revenue share | Larger share | 100% |

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

Free ATM placement means ATMcash supplies, delivers, installs, cash-loads, monitors and maintains the ATM at no cost to eligible petrol and service stations across Australia. You provide roughly 60cm x 60cm of floor space and a power point, and earn a share of the surcharge on every withdrawal.

- Cash loading and replenishment scheduled to your withdrawal pattern
- 24/7 remote monitoring with first-line fault response

Free ATM placementFixed monthly cost
ATM lease and rental for petrol and service stations across Australia
Leasing or renting an ATM gives petrol and service stations a fixed, predictable monthly cost and a larger share of the surcharge than free placement, while ATMcash still handles installation, monitoring and technical support.
- 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 petrol and service stations confident of withdrawal volume that want more of the surcharge without buying outright.
ATM lease & rentalOwn the machine
Buying an ATM machine for petrol and service stations 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
- Delivery, installation and staff training included
- You supply and manage the cash float, or we quote managed loading
Best for high-volume petrol and service stations — 24-hour sites, highway locations and busy late-trade venues — that are comfortable managing a cash float.
Buy an ATM machineAnswers
Free placement, lease and purchase questions
Is a free ATM really free for a service station?
Yes. For eligible petrol and service stations 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.
What does my service station need to provide?
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.
Is leasing better than free placement for a service station?
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 service station traffic before you decide.
Can I switch from free placement to a lease later?
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.
How long before a purchased ATM pays for itself at a service station?
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.
Do I still get support if I own the machine?
Yes. Purchased machines come with technical support, parts and service options, plus guidance on cash management and reconciliation.
