A recent survey carried out by the morefocus group indicates that ATM use continues to increase as a function of consumer demand and the lure of commercial profit. With the Bank of America's September 18 announcement that it will raise fees to $3.00 per transaction, installing ATMs as an independent is attracting more eyes than ever.

Although consumers continue to complain about the level of fees, it is clear from the research that even at $3.00, transaction costs are still below the pain threshold. At this level, the profits available to small businesses and entrepreneurs become significant, with an increasing number entering the fray. According to one interviewee, the ATM placemen 1139 t bonanza was likened to the new 'wild west', given the significant number of new entrants staking their claims.

"It's the reason why many individuals have taken on the installation, placement and leasing of ATM machines as their new business," said Dr. Regan Carey, head of consumer behavior research at morefocus. "You have this environment where usage and fee per usage are increasing together over extended periods of time. As such, the laws of supply and demand remain in balance, while the cash flow and margin opportunities create an electric business environment."... (Continue reading)
