How much cash do you need for the machines?
The vault cash requirements for ATMs exhibit significant variability, influenced by factors such as denomination, transaction volume, withdrawal averages, and load frequency. Typically, ATMs handle an average of 100-200 transactions per month, with some locations experiencing lower or higher volumes.
After analyzing numerous independently owned ATMs, we’ve identified an average withdrawal amount ranging from $60 to $80. Based on these figures, a typical machine may process anywhere from $6,000 to $8,000 per month on the lower end and $12,000 to $16,000 on the higher end. This underscores the need for a weekly vault cash rotation, requiring $2,000 to $4,000 per machine, contingent on the location.
In practice, ATM operators often factor in an overage to accommodate any inconsistencies in vault cash levels. It’s important to note that these figures are estimates and averages, and specific requirements may vary.
