Key facts
- ATM machines for sale start at $7,150 inc GST (refurbished Nautilus Hyosung NH 2700).
- Owners set their own surcharge, typically $2.50 to $5.50 per cash-out.
- At 30 withdrawals a day and $3.00, an owned ATM earns about $1,833 a month.
- Owners can load their own cash; dispensed money is settled back the next business day.
- Machine prices are the same nationally, so payback depends on venue volume, not the state.
