4. What steps should I take so I can sell prepaid media from ATMs?
1. Call Better ATM® Services and let us know of your interest. We can help walk you through the process. 2. Decide on the prepaid media offerings. 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 pre-denominated or variable load cards. To get started, you need to decide on a pre-denominated 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 prepaid media. In addition, some screen changes will need to occur. The menu options will be updated in this process. 5. Coordinate with your Processor/Driver. Because a prepaid media purchase is a Point-of-Sale transaction, the ATM must be configured correctly to interface with the processor to properly execute the transaction. Better ATM® Services has experience in working with Processor/Drivers to properly configure the ATM and we’ll provide the Processor/Driver with the information they need to configure their systems. 6. Load the ATM with prepaid media. Some minor cassette configurations are required when loading prepaid media. Better ATM® Services has support documentation to aid you in this process. We’re willing to train your support team, if needed.
