The Benefits of having an ATM in your Hotel

Gone are the days of tourists exchanging money before they go away, taking a mixture of cash and travelers cheques with them from their country to another. And from a personal safety and convenience point of view, the new way is much better – in most countries you can now just take cash out from an ATM. It means that there is no carrying around huge amounts of cash, or having to order unusual currencies.

Because of the availability and convenience of ATMs, people who are staying in hotels are now more than ever, relying ATMs to supply them with access to their bank accounts and therefore their money whilst they are away. Just like having to supply the internet, it is becoming an increasingly common expectation for hotels to have ATM access, and give their customers the opportunity to access their money when they want to.

Having an ATM inside your hotel can be beneficial for both the hotel owner and the guests.
