Video: how money moves for a Bitcoin ATM operator, from the machine to the restock

Here's how money moves through Invincible Pay for a Bitcoin ATM operator. Take Beacon Point. It owns Bitcoin ATMs where people insert cash and get Bitcoin from Beacon Point's own stock.

At the machine, the customer inserts cash, and the Bitcoin comes straight from Beacon Point's stock. When it's time, an armoured carrier collects the cash from every machine. It counts the cash, deposits it at its own bank and sends the total by electronic funds transfer. Beacon Point's wallet has its own banking details, so that transfer lands straight in the wallet.

Cash from every machine ends up in the same wallet while the Bitcoin stock runs low. Now it's time to restock. Straight from the wallet, Beacon Point sends one electronic funds transfer to its liquidity provider. Once the payment lands, the liquidity provider sends back fresh Bitcoin, ready for the next customer at the machine.

That's how Invincible Pay works for Bitcoin ATM operators. Getting the cash from your machines into your account shouldn't be the hardest part of running Bitcoin ATMs. Let Invincible Pay handle it, from carrier deposit to restock.

Why Bitcoin ATM operators struggle to get their cash back

A Bitcoin ATM business sells Bitcoin for cash, one customer at a time. Getting that cash back into the business shouldn't be the hardest part of running Bitcoin ATMs.

  1. Cash and crypto in one business

    Your machines take cash and sell Bitcoin. A typical bank finds crypto difficult, and the cash makes it harder still.

  2. Nowhere for the carrier to send it

    Your armoured carrier deposits the cash at its own bank, then needs somewhere to send the total by EFT. Without that, the money from your machines is stuck.

A wallet your carrier can pay into

Your wallet has its own institution, transit and account numbers, so the carrier's EFT lands straight in it. When the stock runs low, one EFT to your liquidity provider restocks every machine.

From the machine to the restock

Follow one carrier run. The cash and the Bitcoin never touch your wallet; the Canadian dollars between them do.

  1. At your machines

    Customers buy Bitcoin with cash

    A customer inserts cash and gets Bitcoin from your own stock. The cash stays in the machine until your carrier collects it.

    Outside Invincible PayCash and Bitcoin change hands at the machine.
  2. Your armoured carrier

    The carrier counts and deposits

    Your armoured carrier collects the cash from every machine, counts it and deposits it at its own bank.

    Outside Invincible PayYour carrier handles the physical cash.
  3. EFT to your wallet

    The total lands in your wallet

    The carrier sends the total by EFT to your wallet's deposit details. It typically arrives in 1 business day.

  4. Your wallet

    Every machine in one balance

    Each carrier run adds to the same wallet, so the money from all your machines is in one place when it's time to restock.

    Fresh Bitcoin for your machines

    Once your payment lands, your liquidity provider sends fresh Bitcoin for the next customer. We don't handle the Bitcoin itself.

What we'll ask a Bitcoin ATM operator

Before your carrier's first deposit, we'll ask about your machines, the carrier and where your Bitcoin comes from.

We'll set up the carrier deposits with you.
  • Your FINTRAC registration as a money services business that deals in virtual currency.
  • Your machines: how many you run, and where they are.
  • Your armoured carrier, and how it deposits the cash it collects.
  • Your liquidity provider, and how often you restock.
  • Your AML compliance program: the current policy, and how you identify customers at your machines.
  • Your directors and owners: each director, officer and owner of 25% or more verifies their identity online.

Your wallet fills as your Bitcoin runs low

Carrier deposits build up your balance through the week. When the stock at your machines is low, one EFT pays your liquidity provider for fresh Bitcoin.
