Welcome to the Southern ATMs FAQ! If you’re a business owner in the South—whether you’re running a gas station in Houston, a nightclub in New Orleans, or a general store in rural Oklahoma—this guide is for you.

We’ve compiled the most common questions we get from Southern business owners about ATM service, maintenance, and support.

  • Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso & beyond)

  • Full diagnostic and performance check

  • Cleaning of bill dispensers, card readers, and screens

  • Software and security updates

  • Tamper checks and skimmer inspections

  • Weatherproofing inspection for outdoor machines

  • Cash level check (if applicable)

🔥 How does Southern weather affect my ATM?

In the South, your ATM faces:

  • Extreme heat (especially in Texas)

  • Humidity and storms (especially in Louisiana)

  • Dust and severe weather (especially in Oklahoma)

That’s why we offer region-specific service and recommend more frequent checkups—especially for outdoor ATMs or high-traffic machines.


📅 How often should I service my ATM?

We recommend:

  • Quarterly maintenance for most indoor ATMs

  • Monthly maintenance for outdoor or high-volume machines

  • Pre-season checkups before summer heat or hurricane season

Routine service = fewer breakdowns and more uptime.


🔐 Do your service visits include security checks?

Yes! Every service includes:

  • Anti-skimming inspection

  • Tamper and lock checks

  • Compliance updates (EMV, PCI, etc.)

  • Software/firmware security patching

Your customers’ data and your machine are protected with every visit.


⚡ What if my ATM breaks down on the weekend?

No problem. We offer 24/7 emergency repair throughout Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. Our local technicians respond quickly to minimize downtime—often within the same day.


💵 Who handles cash loading?

You have options:

  1. We load it for you with our cash vaulting service

  2. You load it yourself and keep 100% of surcharge profits

We’ll help you choose the right model based on your business type and cash volume.


🧠 What types of businesses do you work with?

We serve:

  • Bars, clubs, and liquor stores

  • Gas stations and convenience stores

  • Dispensaries and vape shops

  • Event venues and markets

  • Small town general stores

  • Strip malls and travel centers

If you need a reliable ATM—indoors or out—we’ve got you covered.

Absolutely. We offer new, compliant, weather-resistant machines and will help you find the best fit for your location, usage, and budget.
