Cash Capacity
How much cash an ATM can hold is determined by the cash Dispenser options available on the make you purchase.
The smallest dispenser option available from CHC has 550 bill capacity. That's 550 x $20 bills or $11,000. The Hyosung 1520 and Comnet 7100 both have 1000 note or $20,000 capacity.
Note that the average cash fill of a merchant loaded ATM is $2000 to $5,000 (See Cash Filling).
The Hyosung 1520 can be ordered with a dual cassette 2000 note capacity dispenser. The Triton RL5000 can be ordered with the massive Fujitsu 4 cassette Dispenser with 6000 note capacity! Clearly overkill for all but the highest volume sites.
Related to cash capacity is the capacity to hold rejected bills. Rejected bills are diverted to a tray, bin or cassette. A properly loaded and maintained cash dispenser will reject a small percentage of bills, diverting them to the reject bin, tray or cassette. If the cash quality or load is poor or the cash
dispenser is dirty and requires maintenance, the reject rate can climb. A
small reject capacity will put that ATM out of service sooner. The
Triton TDM series dispensers have smaller 20-40 bill capacity reject cassettes.
The Hyosung 1520 and
Comnet 7100
both have large reject bins. Similarily, the SD1700 and Minimech have
adequate reject capacity.
Since even the smallest cassette has plenty of capacity for the majority of sites, the Cash Cassette Type is perhaps a more important factor in selecting which ATM is best for you.
