Gas Station ATM Solutions
Bring More Customers Inside With a Convenient On-Site ATM
“Is there an ATM nearby?”
“Yes, right here.”
Gas stations are built around quick stops. Customers pull in for fuel, coffee, snacks, lottery tickets, tobacco products, car washes, and road trip essentials. Adding an ATM gives them one more reason to come inside - and one more reason to spend at your location.
Mint ATM provides ATM solutions for gas stations, fuel retailers, truck stops, and convenience stores across Canada. Whether you want a simple full-service ATM, prefer to load the cash yourself, or want to own the machine outright, we can help you choose the right program for your store.
Why an ATM Makes Sense for Gas Stations
A gas station already has the traffic. The goal is getting more of that traffic through the door.
An on-site ATM can help convert fuel-only customers into in-store customers. When someone comes inside to withdraw cash, they may also grab coffee, snacks, drinks, lottery tickets, tobacco products, windshield washer fluid, or a car wash.
For highway locations, truck stops, rural fuel stations, and neighbourhood convenience stores, an ATM can also become a practical cash access point for regular customers and travellers.
An ATM can help your gas station:
-
Bring more customers inside from the pumps
-
Increase convenience store traffic
-
Support purchases of snacks, drinks, coffee, lottery, tobacco, and car wash services
-
Serve travellers, commuters, truck drivers, and local customers
-
Offer cash access in areas where bank ATMs may not be nearby
-
Add a useful service without taking up much space
-
Create potential surcharge revenue for your business
-
Keep customers from leaving your location to find cash elsewhere
Built for Fuel Stops, Truck Stops & Convenience Stores
Not every gas station is the same. A busy urban fuel station has different needs than a rural highway stop or a large truck stop with food service and showers.
Mint ATM can help with ATM solutions for:
-
Gas stations
-
Fuel stations
-
Truck stops
-
Highway travel centres
-
Convenience stores
-
Car wash locations
-
Rural fuel retailers
-
Multi-location operators
Whether your location is open limited hours or operates 24/7, we can help recommend an ATM setup that fits your traffic, space, cash availability, and service needs.
Choosing the Right ATM Program for Your Gas Station
Some gas station owners want a hands-off ATM program. Others already handle cash daily and prefer to load the ATM themselves. Some want to buy the machine and keep more control over the revenue.
Mint ATM offers flexible program options depending on how involved you want to be.
Option 1: Full-Service ATM Program
This is the easiest option for gas stations that want the benefits of an ATM without managing the machine.
With a full-service program, Mint ATM can provide the ATM, install it, operate it, maintain it, and handle cash loading where available.
Your business provides the space, power, and internet connection. Mint ATM handles the rest.
Good fit for locations that:
-
Want a simple, hands-off ATM program
-
Do not want staff responsible for loading cash
-
Want professional service and maintenance
-
Prefer Mint ATM to manage day-to-day ATM operations
-
Have steady customer traffic but limited time to manage another machine
Option 2: Merchant-Loaded ATM Program
Many gas stations already handle cash daily. For those locations, a merchant-loaded program may be a practical option.
With this program, Mint ATM provides and supports the ATM, while your business handles the cash loading. This gives your location more involvement in the ATM program without needing to purchase the machine upfront.
Good fit for locations that:
-
Have cash available on-site
-
Want to handle ATM replenishment themselves
-
Prefer not to purchase an ATM upfront
-
Want support, processing, and maintenance from Mint ATM
-
Want more control over when the machine is loaded
Option 3: Merchant-Owned & Loaded ATM Program
For gas station owners who want the most control, owning the ATM may be the best long-term option.
With a merchant-owned and loaded ATM, your business purchases the machine, owns it, loads it with your own cash, and keeps control of the surcharge revenue. Mint ATM can supply the ATM, assist with setup, provide processing, and offer service and support options.
For busy fuel stations and convenience stores, this can be a strong option because the location already has regular customer traffic and staff on-site.
With a merchant-owned ATM, your gas station can:
-
Own the machine at your location
-
Load the ATM with your own cash
-
Keep control of the surcharge revenue
-
Build a long-term asset for your business
-
Avoid unnecessary revenue sharing
-
Use Mint ATM for processing, setup, support, and service options
Where to Place an ATM in a Gas Station
Placement matters. An ATM should be easy to see, easy to access, and located where customers naturally walk.
The best gas station ATM locations are usually:
-
Near the front entrance
-
Close to the checkout counter
-
Along the path from the pumps to the store
-
Near coffee, snacks, lottery, or tobacco areas
-
Beside the car wash payment area or waiting area
-
Inside a truck stop convenience area
-
In a visible, well-lit location with good staff awareness
A well-placed ATM can increase usage and help draw customers deeper into the store.
Help Customers Stay on Your Property
When a customer asks, “Is there an ATM nearby?” the best answer is, “Yes, right here.”
If they leave to find cash somewhere else, they may not come back. By offering cash access on-site, your gas station keeps the customer at your location and gives them another reason to complete their purchase with you.
This is especially valuable for locations near highways, industrial areas, campgrounds, rural communities, entertainment districts, or neighbourhoods with limited nearby banking options.
Simple Setup With Mint ATM
Adding an ATM to your gas station does not need to be complicated. Mint ATM can help review your location, recommend the best program, and guide you through setup.
Depending on the program you choose, your location may only need:
-
A visible indoor space for the ATM
-
Standard electrical access
-
Internet access, with wireless options available
-
Cash for loading, if choosing a merchant-loaded or merchant-owned option
-
Basic communication with our service team when needed

FAQ: Gas Station ATMs
Do gas stations still benefit from having an ATM?
Yes. Even with card payments being common, gas station customers still use cash for many everyday purchases. An ATM can help serve travellers, local customers, truck drivers, and people who prefer to carry cash.
Can an ATM help bring fuel customers inside the store?
Yes. A visible ATM gives customers another reason to walk inside instead of only paying at the pump. Once inside, they may also buy coffee, snacks, drinks, lottery tickets, tobacco products, or car wash services.
Is a gas station ATM useful in rural or highway locations?
Yes. Rural fuel stations, highway stops, and truck stops can be excellent ATM locations because nearby bank branches or bank-owned ATMs may be limited. For travellers, having cash access at a fuel stop can be very convenient.
Where should we install the ATM?
The best location is usually inside the store, near the entrance, checkout counter, or another high-traffic area. It should be visible, well-lit, and easy for customers to access without blocking the flow of traffic.
Can the ATM be placed near the pumps?
Most ATMs are placed indoors for security, weather protection, and service access. In some situations, outdoor or vestibule placement may be possible, but an indoor location is usually preferred.
Does our gas station need to load the cash?
Not always. Mint ATM may offer full-service options where cash loading is handled for you, depending on your location and program. If you prefer to manage the cash yourself, merchant-loaded and merchant-owned options are also available.
Can we use the cash from our store to load the ATM?
Yes, if you choose a merchant-loaded or merchant-owned program. Many gas stations already manage cash daily, which can make self-loading a practical option.
Can our gas station own the ATM?
Yes. Mint ATM offers merchant-owned and loaded ATM options. Your business can purchase the ATM, load it with your own cash, and keep control of the surcharge revenue.
What does the ATM need to operate?
Most ATMs need a small indoor space, standard power, and a reliable internet connection. Wired internet is ideal, but wireless options may be available.
