Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATM Lighting Evaluation?
An evaluation consists of lighting samples taken within the access area (50 feet) of an ATM to determine if the ambient light meets state standards. Our evaluation includes photographs, notes of any obstructions such as trees or landscaping (potential hiding places for predators,) and crime statistics from local law enforcement for the past 12 months.
How often does my bank need an evaluation?
The industry standard for bank evaluations is annually.
Why does my bank need an evaluation?
Monetary fines may be assessed if your bank is not in compliance with the Texas Finance Code. Additionally, a well-lit area attracts customers and makes them feel safe. Bright lighting also deters thieves from stealing the machines.
An evaluation done by a professional, unbiased third party will present no conflict of interest for a bank if the bank is sued.
How much does an evaluation cost?
Prices start at $250, with discounts on additional ATMs at the same site. Please contact us for a quote!
