My daughter visited Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris this year and she was shocked that they were selling souvenieres in the church. She had visited a church in Florence where she was given a paper shawl to wear because she the top she was wearing had spaghetti straps.  oloroid

How about they give you the extra $3.00 dollars they would have used for gas as an ATM surcharge?  Plus $2 more for the ATM surcharge they would have paid at the bank. The church actually has $5 more...multiply that by an average of 30 members and you have $150 extra dollars a week. You might actually get a paycheck before long!
(the church member average was my observation of average church attendance in rural churches...for all I know you have 3000  )

I find the idea intriguing but before I went with a full fledged ATM (and ALL the hassles involved in maintaining it -I worked in a bank and know whats involved), I would start with something simpler.... like perhaps a PayPal account. I know far fewer people use Paypal then would use an ATM, but it is free for the church and doesn't involve ANY cash handling or armored carriers.

I like the idea of just a machine that would do transfers

It doesn't have to be an ATM ... a pin pad credit/debit processor would do the trick.

I think it is important to have an ATM machine in the church foyer. How else can you pay for the Starbucks? For real!
