Why shopping centres
What an ATM does for shopping centres
A shopping centre ATM keeps cash inside the centre instead of sending shoppers to a bank across the road. Eligible centres and centre retailers pay nothing for the machine, the install, the cash or the servicing, and earn a share of every withdrawal.
- Through-the-wall units use zero leasable floor area.
- Concourse and food-court placements catch shoppers mid-visit.
- Cash withdrawn in-centre is overwhelmingly spent in-centre.
- Supports market stalls, food courts and cash-only specialty tenants.
- Free supply, installation, cash loading, monitoring and maintenance.
What to plan for
Getting the placement right in shopping centres
Siting and sight lines
Best performance comes from entries, travelators, food courts and near cash-preferring tenants. We survey the centre before recommending a position.
Centre management approvals
We work with centre management on licence terms, power, signage and after-hours access, and provide public liability documentation on request.
Through-the-wall option
Where floor space is leasable and precious, a through-the-wall unit serves the external footpath 24/7 without occupying retail area.
Security and lighting
Machines are anchored, camera-covered and sited under existing centre lighting and CCTV coverage.
Choose your model
Free placement, lease or buy
Three ways to put an ATM into shopping centres 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 | Largest Share |
| Cash loading | Managed by ATMcash | Managed by Partners -ATMcash | You or a managed plan |
| Who owns the machine | ATMcash | Partners or ATMcash | Finance - Lender |
| Best suited to | shopping centres that want income with zero cost, zero admin and zero cash handling | busier shopping centres confident of withdrawal volume that want more of the surcharge without buying outright | high-volume shopping centres — 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 shopping centres across Australia
Leasing or renting an ATM gives shopping centres 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 shopping centres confident of withdrawal volume that want more of the surcharge without buying outright.
ATM lease & rentalOwn the machine
Buying an ATM machine for shopping centres 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 shopping centres — 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
Yes. For eligible shopping centres 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 shopping centre 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 shopping centres — common questions
Yes. Individual tenancies — newsagents, mini-marts, food-court operators, barbers — can host a compact free-standing ATM, provided the centre's lease terms allow it. We can help you check.
Not necessarily. Through-the-wall units are built into an existing wall and serve the footpath or mall side, so no leasable area is used. Free-standing units need roughly 0.5 m².
ATMcash arranges and funds cash loading through its cash-in-transit partners. Centres and retailers never need to supply, count or handle the float.
Hosts earn a share of the surcharge on every withdrawal. The rate depends on transaction volume — high-traffic centres attract the strongest terms.
