Saskatoon continues to grow as a destination for travelers from across Canada and beyond. Whether they’re attending the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival, visiting Wanuskewin Heritage Park, or exploring Broadway Avenue, tourists are spending money, and many still prefer to use cash.
Even in a digital age, cash remains a vital part of the travel experience. At ATM Saskatoon, we help local businesses tap into this demand by installing modern, secure ATM machinesthat serve both visitors and residents alike.
Why Tourists Still Rely on Cash
While mobile payments and tap cards are on the rise, there are several reasons why tourists still need easy access to Canadian currency:
- Cash-only vendors: Saskatoon’s farmers markets, food trucks, and pop-up events frequently rely on cash sales.
- Travel budgeting: Many visitors set a daily spending limit in cash to avoid overcharging their credit card.
- Backup when tech fails: During large events or network outages, cash remains a dependable option.
If you operate a business that sees tourist traffic like a hotel, event venue, museum, bar, or late-night restaurant offering an ATM on-site gives you a practical edge.
The Business Case for Installing an ATM
Installing an ATM in your location not only benefits your customers, it benefits your bottom line. Here’s how:
- Earn extra revenue, from each withdrawal through surcharge fees
- Attract new foot traffic, especially from Google Maps “ATM near me” searches
- Encourage cash purchases, which help reduce credit card processing costs
- Improve customer convenience, making your business a one-stop shop
Every machine we install is fully EMV compliant, built with the latest in ATM security, and comes ready for future NFC upgrades when contactless ATM transactions are approved in Canada.
