Better ATM® Services offers ATM-dispensed Visa Gift Cards and a multi-brand card with nationally recognized brands that you can sell from your ATM. 3. Opt for fixed or variable load cards. To get started, you need to decide on a fixed value or variable value Gift Card. Variable value cards have no assigned value until your customers choose the amount they wish to load on the card. 4. Configure your ATM. Your ATMs may require hardware and software adjustments to dispense Gift Cards. In addition, some screen changes will need to occur. The menu options will be updated in this process. 5. Coordinate with your Processor/Driver.
