Debit card payments work like a regular ATM withdrawal with a PIN but without any cash involved. “Real debit rails” are secure, regulated networks that connect the customer’s bank directly to the merchant—no apps or account setups needed.

Unlike traditional ATMs, this method avoids extra fees, risks, and maintenance. It doesn’t rely directly on Visa or Mastercard, making it safer and more affordable.

More customers prefer using debit cards today, making this a modern alternative to old ATM machines. Traditional ATMs carry risks like money laundering, cash handling, and added costs for equipment and transport.

Networks like NYCE, Pulse, and Star are the secure systems behind most U.S. debit card transactions. They move money safely when you use a PIN debit card in stores, ATMs, or online.

Our Dispensary Cashless ATM is a secure, compliant debit payment solution designed specifically for adult-use and medical cannabis dispensaries. It enables retailers to accept debit card payments at checkout, both in-store and for deliveries.

Customers use their debit card and PIN, with transactions rounded up to the nearest $5. For example, a $17.20 purchase is processed as $20, and the customer receives $2.80 cash back at the register, just like an ATM withdrawal.

This cashless system creates a smooth, transparent checkout experience while reducing risk, boosting efficiency, and meeting all regulatory requirements.

• Less cash handling, reducing risk and overhead
• Potential higher sales and larger average transaction amounts
• Faster, more efficient checkout experience
• Improved safety for both staff and customers
• Access to real-time reporting and transaction analytics
• Dashboard login allows easy management from one location

Yes, our Dispensary Cashless ATM is designed to meet all legal and regulatory standards. It provides transparent, verifiable transactions that give both dispensaries and customers confidence.

The portable terminal can be used at the counter or for deliveries. Customers pay using their debit card and PIN, just like a standard ATM withdrawal, but without exchanging physical cash.

• Customers pay using their debit card and PIN at the dispensary terminal. 
• The transaction functions like a cash withdrawal and appears as such on the customer’s bank statement. 
• It can run alongside your existing ATM machine with another pay option for the customer
• No typical 3%-7% processing fees. To earn additional revenue; the dispensary receives a flat cost rate from the processor then sets the customer service fee. See more detail by clicking on FAQ, "How to Generate Revenue"

Manage payments across multiple locations from one central dashboard. Enjoy single-login access to monitor and control all your dispensaries in one place. 

Dispensaries pay a flat fee of $2.75 per transaction to the processor. They then set a customer-paid convenience fee, allowing them to earn the difference.

Example revenue model based on one location:

• Processing fee: $2.75 per transaction (paid to the processor)
• Customer fee: $3.50 per transaction (amount set by the dispensary)
• Dispensary revenue: $0.75 per transaction
• Estimated earnings based on 300 transactions per day:
• 300 transactions x $0.75 = $225 daily profit
• $225 x 30 days = $6,750 monthly profit

The fee structure is fully customizable, giving dispensaries control over their revenue per transaction.

Fintech processors such as AeroPay and CanPay rely on ACH (Automated Clearing House) transactions, requiring customers to download an app and link their bank account. While these options are compliant and cashless, they add friction to the checkout experience.

Dutchie Payments is another ACH-based option but is limited exclusively to dispensaries using the Dutchie POS and e-commerce system. It's not a general-purpose solution.

CBS Cashless ATM offers a faster, more familiar experience. Customers simply insert their debit card and enter a PIN—no apps, no account setup. 

We run on real debit rails for quick settlements, improved customer satisfaction, and seamless integration with both retail and delivery operations.

Application approval typically takes 1 to 4 weeks and includes a 12-month service agreement. The more documents you can provide the faster the approval. 

Settlement & Funding: 

Transactions are auto-batched daily at midnight (CDT) and settled within 48 banking hours.
