It doesn’t take as much effort as some people might think to make employees happy. In fact, a good solution to putting a smile on their face may be as simple as a single cash machine in the break room. Because, as surprising as it may sound, employees love having easy access to do simple banking transaction in the workplace.

Here are three benefits of having an on-site ATM.

Meets Employee’s Financial Needs in the Workplace

Over two-thirds (64%) of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and with inflation at an all-time high, every penny counts right now. And no matter how employees are paid or whether they are salary or hourly, financial access is essential to a positive mindset and piece-of-mind. Having an ATM on-site provides employees with easy access to a wide range of financial options from cash withdraws to balance inquiries.

Easy access to cash without fees and being able to check account balances are especially essential for staff getting paid through a paycard or prepaid debit card. Employees being paid through direct deposit, also can enjoy the easy cash access as well, letting them grab quick funds for lunch, weekend plans and other needs without the inconvenience of leaving work.

Keeps Employees On-Site and Saves Time

With bank branches closing at record paces since COVID, some employees may have a hard time finding a nearby location that can fulfill their financial needs. And visiting a local convenience store or grocery store to use an ATM could mean extra time away from work. Checkout lines and traffic can easily cause delays for staff as they are attempting to get back to their jobs during their lunch break.

With an on-site ATM, there is no need to leave the workplace to take care of minor financial tasks. Instead, employees can easily check their balances or withdraw cash on payday - or any day - without having to go out of their way or risk being late coming back from break.

Keeping Employees Safe

Attacks on consumers are on the rise. Whether it is passwords, credit card numbers, debit card PINs or even in-person attacks, criminals are using every avenue they can to gain access to consumer accounts. Providing an on-site ATM adds another layer of protection for employees. The steps taken to keep company facility, equipment and staff safe extend to the ATM in the breakroom. With an ATM on-site at work, employees have peace-of-mind knowing their debit card and bank account information is safe from hackers or skimmers.

Financial access is a big contribution to employee well-being. An ATM in the workplace not only help employees, it also helps employers provide a real workplace benefit by providing easy account and cash access all while keeping employees on-site and improving overall job satisfaction.
