Direct answer
How ATM leasing works in Australia
Leasing an ATM means you pay a fixed monthly fee instead of buying the machine, and in return you keep a larger share of the surcharge on every withdrawal. Installation, connectivity, monitoring and technical support are included, and cash loading can be managed by us or handled in-house.
Leasing sits between free placement and outright purchase. It suits operators whose withdrawal volume is already proven — petrol stations on busy roads, hotels with gaming rooms, 24-hour convenience sites — where the extra surcharge share comfortably clears the monthly fee.
Rental is also the practical choice for temporary cash access: events, markets, festivals and seasonal trading periods where a permanent installation is not warranted.

FAQ
ATM lease and rental questions
Yes. ATM hire, leasing and rental is available Australia-wide for petrol stations, pubs, clubs, convenience stores, shopping centres and event sites. You pay a fixed monthly fee instead of an upfront purchase price and receive a larger share of the surcharge than free placement.
Yes. Short-term ATM hire suits festivals, race days, markets, shows and one-off functions. Hire covers delivery, setup, cash loading and collection for the period of the event, priced per day or per week rather than on a monthly lease.
Monthly cost depends on the machine model, whether cash loading is managed for you, and the contract term. Because higher withdrawal volume means more surcharge income, we quote the monthly fee alongside a forecast of expected monthly revenue so you can see the net position before signing.
Free placement costs you nothing and we retain a larger portion of the surcharge because we own and fund the machine and the cash. On a lease you carry a fixed monthly fee and receive a larger share of every withdrawal, which pays off once volume is steady.
Yes, if your site has the safe capacity and cash handling procedures. Self-loading increases your net return. Many operators start with managed replenishment and move to self-loading once volume patterns are clear.
Yes. Short-term rental suits markets, festivals, race meetings, agricultural shows and pop-up venues, including delivery, setup, cash loading and collection at the end of the event.
You can extend the lease, upgrade to newer hardware, switch to outright purchase, or have the machine removed at no cost to you.

EFTPOS fees
Also paying too much on card payments?
Most venues we install an ATM for are also running an EFTPOS terminal. If you want the card side checked at the same time, we compare EFTPOS machine fees, terminal rental and surcharging options off one recent merchant statement. Compare EFTPOS machine fees or ask about both in the same enquiry.
