Why Financial Institutions Should Brand Off-Site ATMs?
BFC Enterprises • May 9, 2025
It’s no secret consumers love convenience. In fact, consumer demand for ATMs is growing, with over 95% of accountholders utilizing ATMs annually, according to CEB TowerGroup. A majority of those same accountholders visit the ATM at least once per week.

This steady use of independent off-site ATMs means cardholders are exposed to a multitude of messages including advertisements for items sold onsite, additional ATM locations and even branding from other financial institutions. Even those consumers not utilizing the machine are within viewing proximity of ATM advertising every time they visit their favorite haunts.
As consumers have shown they trust branded ATMs over the standard grey box, those machines sporting brands and advertising for banks, credit unions or other trusted brands draw more attention and create greater brand awareness. Studies have shown that branded ATMs generate an increase of 30% or more in transaction volumes – leading to even more full interactions with ATM ads than standard, un-branded machines.
In addition to offering a potentially untapped branding venue, ATMs are also a simple and inexpensive way to reach current and potential cardholders. Costs for ATM branding packages are typically much lower than advertising on television, radio and other traditional venues. According to prominent ATM manufacturer
NCR Atleos, ATM advertising has proven to be 65% less expensive and 200% more effective than direct mail.
The machines act as miniature billboards prominently placed in popular hangouts and highly frequented locals such as hotels, gas stations, restaurants and grocery stores. And the fancier the advertising, the more the brand gets noticed. As such, many ATM operators work with their branding partners to provide full color wraps, dynamic screens and brightly lit toppers. Many ATMs will come complete with additional signage where the location allows it – including window signs, decals on doors or in vestibules and other dynamic branding and ATM awareness solutions.
Due to their low costs, high visibility and interactive capabilities, branded ATMs are an ideal choice for financial institutions looking to promote their convenience as well as reach out to new communities.

That's exactly why partnering with BFC Enterprises to select and manage your amusement games is a smart move. You get expertly matched equipment that maximizes fun, keeps customers engaged, and hits your revenue goals, without any of the guesswork or hassle. Game Selection Backed by Real Experience BFC Enterprises has spent decades placing games in all kinds of business environments. We've seen what works in shopping centers versus family restaurants. We know which games draw teenagers at youth sports facilities and which ones keep adults entertained at bars while they wait for their food. When we evaluate your location, we're looking at your customer base, your foot traffic patterns, and your available space. We're thinking about who's walking through your doors, how long they typically stay, and what kind of entertainment matches their vibe. Then we match game styles to those factors for optimal performance. You shouldn't have to figure this out through expensive trial and error. We already know what works. Maximize Play and Profit Here's a truth every business owner should know: not all amusement games perform equally in every location. Some games get tons of attention and consistent play. Others just take up space. We use data and hands-on experience to choose games that will actually get played. We place the ones that grab attention, generate consistent activity, and deliver the highest revenue return. This means more passive income for you without spending months testing different machines to see what sticks. Think of it this way: we're not just dropping random equipment in your location and hoping for the best. We're strategically placing proven performers that match your specific environment. That's the difference between a few extra bucks a month and a meaningful revenue stream. Regular Rotation Without the Hassle Even the best games can get stale after a while. That's why we don't just set it and forget it. BFC Enterprises actively monitors game performance at your location. When we notice engagement dropping or when there's an opportunity to refresh things, we rotate games to keep your customers interested and having fun. We also select seasonal prizes that keep people playing longer and coming back to see what's new. The best part? You don’t have to track any of this yourself. We handle the strategy, the swaps, and the prize selection. Your customers stay entertained, and you keep earning, all without lifting a finger.
