Our Story: Empowering Small Businesses with Reliable ATM Solutions

Why Was the Company Founded?

The company was founded in 2010 to solve cash access gaps for small businesses burdened by third-party ATM fees.

78% of small businesses report increased foot traffic after installing a freestanding ATM (National Retail Federation). Our founder, a former convenience store owner, personally lost $12,000/year to ATM surcharges averaging $3.02 per transaction (Federal Reserve). The first prototype weighed 48kg with a $15,000 cash capacity—40% larger than standard models.

The cash access problem in 2010

Independent retailers paid 15-30% of surcharge revenue to third-party operators. Our ATM financing program eliminated this by offering owner-controlled machines at 0% interest.

Founder’s retail background

After installing a competitor’s ATM that failed 3 times monthly, our founder designed a model with:

• Dual power supply (industry first)
• 2mm steel vault doors (vs. standard 1.5mm)
• Remote diagnostics reducing service calls by 62%
