Usually, ATMs are refilled every day for ATMs in a bank's branch offices. If the ATM is not in a branch office, maybe then, once a week. If there is only one ATM at a location when the cash runs out, it could be loaded on weekends. A location with multiple ATMs will be reloaded on the next business day.
In most instances, the company in charge of stocking the machine will be able to work out a refilling schedule based on how much use a particular ATM receives. In some instances, a machine may need to be refilled daily. In other cases, a machine will only need to be refilled weekly or monthly.
Average Number of ATM Transactions
The average ATM in a retail environment (not a bank) does about 6 – 10 transactions per day. Keep in mind that there are ATM owners only doing two or three transactions a day on an ATM, too.
ATMs within banks can be filled with up to $200,000 at once; however, when it comes to retail-based ATMs, the value of notes it holds can vary. The money in an ATM is held in boxes called “cassettes.” Each of these cassettes is loaded with one denomination. Most ATMs in the US only dispense $20 or $50 bills.
ATM customers can be attractive targets for muggers. As a result, most ATMs today have built-in cameras, to record evidence in case of a mugging or other crime, or to monitor people who might be tampering with the machine. A more sophisticated theft involves covertly monitoring the device and its users.
Obviously, ATMs at banks will be refilled by the bank itself. However, for standalone ATMs, there are a few different options when it comes to the responsibility of refilling the machine. If a business is the outright owner of its ATM, they have the option of refilling the machine on their own.
Call Your Card Issuer or Bank
Your card issuer will research the issue with the ATM operator. If an ATM fails to give you money, report the problem as soon as possible by immediately contacting your bank or credit union.
ATM fees are split between various parties or partners in the ATM ecosystem. The three main parties in every ATM business are the ATM owner, the venue owner and the ATM processor. The ATM owner (“you”) are the one that's buying the machine and placing it at a specific venue or place.

At 6-10 transactions per day, that is a daily gross profit of $15-$25 per day. Therefore, the income potential of one ATM machine in a retail business could be around $450-$750 per month. (This assuming, of course, the business is open and the ATM is accessible 7 days per week.)
Daniel said self-service or buying your own ATM is very profitable, and between 15 and 30 transactions a month yield a high return. “[It's] a great secondary source of income that could equal between anywhere between $20,000 and $30,000 extra per year,” he said.
ATM owners make money off the transaction fees added to the ATM withdrawal. Each time a customer makes a withdrawal from the ATM, the customer agrees to a predetermined fee for the service; the customer is then charged for this amount, either at the time or as an item on the customer's bank statement.

If you are caught stealing cash from an ATM machine you can be charged with multiple crimes. The two most likely charges will be criminal theft and criminal damage.
ATMs typically hold cassettes with room for 1,000 bills each. If you're talking twenties, ten cassettes add up to as much as $200,000. Usually they hold less, but all told, physical attacks on ATMs cost the industry $4.5 million annually in the U.S.
Realistically, however, you should probably expect to pay around $2,000-$3,000. That is the range for the most common, free standing ATM machines. Wall mount ATM machines are smaller and will cost less than a through-the-wall ATM machine designed to service areas with a lot of foot traffic and a lot of business.
An ATM, which stands for automated teller machine, is a specialized computer that makes it convenient to manage a bank account holder's funds.
The tiny camera and its components were hidden behind a false cover installed on the ATM's receipt slot. If the criminals manage to get a hold of your card, they can then use your PIN information to make large withdrawals from your account before you can take action.
