Dispensary ATM Services FAQ
Why are ATM machines important to Dispensaries?
Although most states have legalized marijuana for medical or recreational use, the cannabis industry in the United States remains illegal at the federal level. Because of this, federally regulated credit card processors and banks generally will not accept credit or debit card transactions from marijuana dispensaries. In 2021, Visa and Mastercard began cracking down on "cashless ATM" workarounds that some dispensaries had been using, making true cash-dispensing ATMs more important than ever. Visa and Mastercard have continued their scrutiny of cashless ATMs in some cases levying mid six figure fines to dispensaries and cashless ATM providers. Easy access to cash through a legal and reliable ATM is a requirement for a successful marijuana dispensary.
Can I have cashless ATMs in my dispensary?
We do not recommend it. Cashless ATMs — devices that process card payments but disguise them as ATM cash withdrawals — violate the network rules of Visa, Mastercard, and other card networks, and potentially violate federal anti-money-laundering laws. Visa issued formal warnings in 2021, and enforcement has accelerated since: Visa has used secret shoppers to identify non-compliant dispensaries, sponsoring banks have been fined in the mid six figures, and several dispensaries have been shut down or sued. Cannabis being rescheduled to Schedule III does not change this — the card networks have not updated their rules and there is no expectation that they will do so. The compliant alternative is a real cash-dispensing ATM. National ATM Systems provides traditional cash-dispensing ATMs that keep your dispensary on the right side of network rules and federal regulators while still giving your customers convenient access to cash for purchases.
Are there any legal or regulatory concerns of having an ATM in my dispensary?
Your ATM company needs to be compliant with federal and local laws in order to not bring undue attention to your business. National ATM Systems is experienced in keeping you compliant with federal, state, and local laws. We are highly regarded by sponsoring banks and processors for maintaining an outstanding compliance program. We can ensure that you are compliant with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) rules and regulations in order to avoid any interruption in your ATM services.
Does National ATM Systems operate in my state?
We are a nationwide ATM provider with placement, services and vault cash capability in all 50 states. If you need an ATM in the United States, National ATM Systems can provide whatever services you would like.
What is the best ATM in dispensaries?
Depending on your space, transaction volume, and required security, several types of ATMs work well in dispensaries, including stand alone, through the wall, and counter top ATMs. For most dispensaries with consistent traffic, a stand-alone ATM with a larger cassette capacity is the most common choice — it handles higher volumes between cash loads and provides the visibility customers expect when they walk in.
