Zero-cost ATM placement means a qualifying host business does not need to purchase the ATM equipment. ARU Intelligence Inc., ATM Division reviews the location and, when approved, coordinates the placement arrangement and the appropriate operating/service model. The ATM remains owned or controlled by the applicable program operator unless a separate written agreement expressly says otherwise.
The process starts with a short location application. ARU reviews the business type, address, customer traffic, hours, cash relevance, and whether an ATM is already on-site. Existing ATM locations are not automatically disqualified; strong locations may be evaluated for a processor, service, equipment, compensation, or contract switch opportunity.
If the location appears to fit the program, ARU confirms the operating details and coordinates the appropriate local service resources. Depending on the market, those resources may include independent ATM technicians, service providers, processors, cash providers or other qualified operational partners. Applicable providers are expected to comply with the licensing, insurance, registration, permit, tax, accessibility, transaction-security and other requirements that apply to their work.
The current public location-payout calculator uses $1.00 per completed qualifying ATM withdrawal. For example, 450 qualifying withdrawals produces an illustrative $450 monthly host payout. Transaction volume is not guaranteed, and the final economics and responsibilities are governed by the written placement agreement.
ARU is based in Portland, Oregon, making Portland and Oregon the primary home market. Strong opportunities in Southwest Washington and other U.S. markets may also be evaluated when service coverage, location economics and program fit support the placement.
