Keeping Your ATM Card Reader Clean Is Good for Your ATM Business

Whether it’s your car, furnace, or computer, everything you rely on requires maintenance — and your ATM is no exception. Keeping your card reader clean is a critical part of operating your ATM, and thankfully it’s easy to do.

A dirty card reader can result in failed transactions and lost revenue. To prevent this, we recommend you clean your card reader each time you load cash or no less than once a month on a scheduled basis.

You’ll know you’ve waited too long do this simple maintenance if your ATM repeatedly displays these messages: “Decline — Unable to process” or “Decline — Bank unavailable.” Don’t wait for that — proactively maintaining your machines will make for happier customers. If you’re not cleaning your machine at cash load time, the best way to remember to do this critical task is to schedule it and put it on your calendar.
