| Comment | In essence, it's usually more - the fees don't just cover those machines, but subsidise the network as a whole. For instance, in the likes of pubs, ATMs generally have lower footfall, since access to it is more limited than something just on the street, and oftentimes the owner of the pub doesn't own the machine itself (rather, another company comes in and maintains the ATM, in return for a cut of the machine's revenue), so they'll raise fees here in order to not introduce fees in more competitive locations. |
