RE: PCI Compliance
All Genmega and Hantle ATM’s with a B1 or B2 keypad will have to be replaced before 1/1/2025. To find the type of keypad, open up the top of the ATM and on the underside of the keypad will be the S/N sticker showing the version o keypad you have. If you have a B3 that is acceptable under PCI rules. If you have a B1 or B2 keypad you will also need the bracket with the new B5.
All Hyosung ATM’s with a 6000K will have to update to the new X1 keypad. You will need the conversion cable as well. You may also need the spacer, again depending on model.
We advise you to do this as soon as possible. This is for more than one reason. Other operators have already started to upgrade to get ahead of the compliance. Much in the same way EMV was rolled out, at times there were supply problems and toward the end date. We also have to schedule a tech to come out to install it and put new master keys in. If you are in the Houston area there is no service call charge, only for the parts. Outside of the Houston area we will have to have a tech come out and do this. We will have quotes and your approval before we send anyone out.
We also only stock enough keypads for normal operations so it is advised to not wait.
August 2023: Our membership in NAC allows us to offer discounted prices to attend NAC 2023 in Las Vegas October 24-26, 2023 at the beautiful Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino. Contact us for details and payment information. If you are thinking about going, I would not wait to book the room and air fare.
March 2023: Once again ATM’s America has good news to share. Beginning next month ALL ATM Houston customers that process with DNS will be getting setup documents to sell and cash out bitcoin on their ATM’s using the JustCash application. JustCash will remotely install the software and activate your ATM for Bitcoin. After using several other companies at different times we have decided that as of 2023 we are all in on JustCash. With all of the other Bitcoin applications, we could only sell Bitcoin and lose all of the fees going the other way. That means that we have been losing half of the transaction fees every month by not being able to let customers get cash for their Bitcoin.
February 2023: ATM’s America Featured as a Top Startup by Best Startup Texas. Best Startup Texas has been gracious enough to give a small mention in their post online. We will be giving interviews on several topics in the coming year. Topics such as starting a business, setting up processes, partnering with other businesses for expansion, managing cash and expenditures and more.
January 2023: Starting in March 2023 ATM Houston in coordination with Digital Network Solutions (DNS) all ATM deployers on ATM Houston platform using TransAct processing will be able to sell Bitcoin at their ATM’s and make a % of the fee charged. IAD’s will also be able to turn a customer bitcoin into cash and make the surcharge by using the JustCash ap on the ATM. The IAD does not have to do anything. The ap can be loaded remotely and the ATM operator can make money immediately without having to go to the ATM. Each operator can set the fee for one or a group of terminals so you have control of what you can make.
“One of the biggest benefits of using Just.Cash is that it can be remotely enabled on any DNS terminal so IADs can immediately start earning additional income from their ATMs without having to make a site visit,” Kirk Barrett, general manager at Just.Cash, said in the press release. “It’s also super easy for ATM users. There is no need for customers to download apps, set up a wallet or get preapproved because their bitcoin purchase is printed directly on the receipt. The consumer simply scans the universal QR code on the receipt to add it to any bitcoin wallet.”
“But perhaps the biggest benefit to our customers is Just.Cash’s Flex-Fees system which allows IADs to choose how much they want to charge,” DNS President John Willmon said in the press release. “Fees can be set at the same rate across the entire fleet or changed remotely anytime on just a handful of high-performing ATMs.”
Just Cash’s bitcoin services are currently available on Hyosung SE class C or V versions 06.02.02 or higher and all Triton retail ATMs.
February 2022: ATM’s America continues to expand our services beyond the typical ATM company. With the addition of more personnel we are able to handle customer inquiries faster. With increased inventory we are able to handle any temporary supply chain issues that may arise. Just a couple of years ago we kept enough inventory to last two months under normal circumstances. We have found out, as many of you have, that we need to have at least four to six months inventory on hand at all times.
December 2021: ATM’s America can now help you obtain financing up to 250K dollars for equipment purchases without financials. Over 250K does require financials. To inquire contact us. With our sister company, ATM Houston we are able to provide ATM Processing to our customers. ATM Houston has also chosen a new ATM processor, Digital Network Solution, to provide processing for all of ATM Houston ATM’s going forward. The president was the former VP for Columbus Data and our personal and professional relationship goes back over 10 years. He has helped ATM Houston so many times over the years and it has always benefited ATM Houston.
July 2021: Happy 4th of July from ATM’s America. ATM’s America is looking for office/clerical to start after labor day 2021. Applicants must be computer literate with Word and Excel experience. Telephone communication skills a must and inside sales experience a plus. Please email nichole@atmsamerica.com with your resume attached. All applications kept confidential. We are also seeking experienced sales professionals with a proven track record. High commissions and residual commissions for processing customers.
June 2021: ATM’s America now has pin pad moisture shield covers at a very economical price. Compare elsewhere for 24.95, ours are just 8.95. We also now have the thermal print head assemblies with cutter and presenter for newer style Hyosung printers. We are also building our inventory of advance replacement modules such as printers, cassettes, dispensers and pin pads. You can find advance replacement parts at ATM Part Repairs. We also have many Accessories and Supplies.
May 2021: Our sister company, ATM Houston, has completed the retail ATM training at Hyosung and is now certified on retail ATM’s. After working on Hyosung for many years we thought we knew allot about them. What we knew was about the old software and pin pads. With the new software and PCI X1 pin pads there is so much more we knew very little about. With this knowledge and NHPro software we can diagnose and repair most cassettes, dispensers and printers in house.
April 2021: We want to thank all the companies out there that fail to support their customers. We feel sorry for these customers and want to help them. We have gained at least three companies with multiple locations this month. We can’t understand why people go to all the cost and trouble to get customers then ignore them and, consequently, loose them? We are not complaining by any means. These are people like you and me just trying to operate a business and want support while doing so. Welcome to ATM’s America where supporting our customers is #1!
February 2021: The growth in sales from 2021 over 2019 continues in 2022. With new products and lower pricing we are doing our best to keep up with demand. In 2021 we added five more LED ATM signs and added two in larger sizes. ATM’s America was also able to secure stable suppliers for Hyosung ATM cassette parts and thermal print heads for new style printers. We added ATM vault corner lock assemblies due to continuous back order or out of stock from previous suppliers. We hired a fabricator to keep these made for us and there are no back orders or out of stock issues any longer.
eJanuary 2021: ATM’s America is truly a coast to coast and border to border national ATM company. With installations from New England to Florida to California, HI and AK, it has been a remarkable journey. Soon we will be breaking ground on our new facility in Hempstead, TX and further expand our inventory with more room to expand. We were also able to negotiate better prices on ATM’s due to the 50%+ increase in sales the second half of last year and lower pricing for 2021. There has never been a better time to expand or start an ATM business with ATM’s America!
September 2020: We have been getting allot of requests to start adding DIY instructions and videos to our site. Coming soon we will start adding instructions for DIY repairs and DYI videos. We will start off simple such as replacing receipt paper, clearing paper jams and bill jams. We will also go into replacing parts, software updates and diagnosing problems. If, after we get this page up, please email us at contact@atmsamerica.com with your requests and we will do our best to give you what you need in our next update.
We are also starting to place Bitcoin Kiosks to some of our locations. Great for the merchant since they get paid just for having it there, great for us as we get paid also. If you would like to make some free money just email or give us a call.
August 2020: We have been placing the Bitcoin option on our ATM’s and it has proven to be a great decision. We can add Bitcoin to any ATM you purchase from us. You will make money from every Bitcoin purchase and not have to do anything except deposit the checks every month you get with a report showing the purchases and your profit from the previous month.
July 2020: ATM’s America has decided, with much thought, that we will not be attending or displaying at any trade shows until at least the second quarter of 2021. While we know the importance of attending and participating, the current conditions are not right for the safety of our employees. Hopefully, the current pandemic will be under control by then for us to resume our normal trade show appearances.
March 2020: ATM Wireless now has an AT&T certification for our Ursalink UR32 industrial router for ATM machines and internet failover. If you were at ATMIA or AMOA and are interested in our routers please give us a call.
February 2020: We now have our FCC and PTCRB approval papers in hand now for our Ursalink UR32 cellular router. All tests have passed AT&T certification and we are only waiting for the paper certificate. It will be on full display at ATMIA 2020 for ATM connectivity and internet failover along with our lower than usual great prices on parts for our show specials. We will also be giving away many parts, supplies and a router for our grand prize give away.
November 2019: We have moved a step closer to start construction on our new facility in Hempstead, TX just 50 miles west of downtown Houston. This will allow us to expand west toward Austin, north toward and including College Station, TX and southwest.
September 2019: Once again we are sponsors at the NAC 2019 trade show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. We will also be at ATMIA 2020 at Hilton Americas in Houston. In Houston we will have a booth to introduce several new products and showcase our every day low prices on parts and supplies.
June 2019: Our new and existing processing customers will now never have to pay for receipt paper, software updates or service calls. The only thing our customers pay for is the cost of parts if out of warranty. We stock the most common wear items such as card readers and displays so no waiting to get your ATM back in service.
April 2019: ATM’s America has moved to our new facility in Spring, TX. We have a much larger facility now for more inventory.
October 2018: ATM’s America is a proud sponsor for NAC 2018 “ATM’s Across America at Bally’s Las Vegas. This year trade show was a huge success for us and the new customers that we now serve.
September 2018: ATM’s America is now a proud member of the Hospitality and Lodging Association of Greater Houston. This was a great fit for us as a large portion of our locations are hotels.
February 2018: ATM’s America launches the new eCommerce site for everything ATM. ATM machines, parts, supplies and more can be purchased online through our secure shopping cart and processed with www.authorize.net
