Fee-Free Debit Card Withdrawals
Managing cash flow shouldn’t mean losing money to fees or wasting hours running to the bank. With Holdings Debit cards and the Allpoint ATM network, business owners get the freedom to access and deposit cash without the headaches, hidden costs, or limitations of traditional banking. Let’s break down how Holdings’ fee-free ATM access empowers your business, saves you money, and streamlines your financial operations-plus, we’ll share actionable tips, real-world examples, and answers to your most common questions.
The Power of Fee-Free ATM Access for Businesses
If you’re running a business, every dollar counts-and so does every minute. Traditional banks often treat ATM access like a luxury, tacking on fees for withdrawals, deposits, or using “out-of-network” machines. These costs add up fast, especially if your business deals with regular cash transactions or has multiple team members handling funds.
Holdings flips the script: Our debit cards unlock over 55,000 Allpoint ATMs worldwide, giving you truly fee-free access to your money. No surcharges, no hidden costs, no running across town to find your bank’s one lonely ATM.
Why Does ATM Access Matter for SMBs?
Cash is still king for many small businesses, whether you’re paying vendors, handling tips, or collecting from customers.
Team flexibility: Multiple employees can safely access cash for business needs without waiting for the owner or a bank manager.
Predictable expenses: No surprise ATM fees means you can budget with confidence.
How Holdings and Allpoint Work Together
What is Allpoint?
Allpoint is the world’s largest surcharge-free ATM network, with over 55,000 ATMs in convenient locations-think CVS, Walgreens, Target, and Circle K. That means you can grab cash while picking up office supplies or running errands, not just when you’re near a bank branch.
Allpoint+ for Cash Deposits
Select Allpoint+ ATMs allow you to deposit cash directly into your Holdings account-no need to visit a bank branch or wait in line. Look for the Allpoint+ logo at major retailers in metropolitan areas, including CVS and Walgreens.
How to Find an Allpoint ATM
Use the Allpoint ATM locator on their website or download the Allpoint mobile app.
Look for the green Allpoint logo at participating ATMs.
Check your Holdings dashboard for integrated ATM location tools.
Withdrawing and Depositing Cash: Step-by-Step
1. Locate an Allpoint ATM
Open the Allpoint app or website, enter your zip code, and see all nearby surcharge-free ATMs.
2. Withdraw Cash-Without Fees
Insert your Holdings debit card, enter your personal identification number (PIN), and select “withdrawal.”
The per-transaction limit is $400, but you can make multiple withdrawals if needed.
3. Deposit Cash at Allpoint+ ATMs
At select Allpoint+ locations, choose “deposit” and follow the on-screen instructions.
Deposits are limited to $1,000 per transaction, with daily limits set by your Holdings account.
4. Avoid Non-Allpoint Fees
While Holdings cards work at any ATM that accepts Visa, Plus, Interlink, or Accel, non-Allpoint ATMs will charge fees. Always use an Allpoint ATM to keep your withdrawals fee-free.
The Real Cost of ATM Fees-and How Holdings Saves You Money
Let’s talk numbers. Most banks charge $2–$5 per withdrawal at “out-of-network” ATMs. If your business makes just 10 cash withdrawals per month, that’s up to $600 a year-money better spent on growing your business.
With Holdings and Allpoint:
Zero withdrawal fees at any Allpoint ATM.
No deposit fees at Allpoint+ ATMs.
No monthly maintenance fees or minimum balance requirements.
Example:
“We switched to Holdings for our food truck business. Between buying supplies and depositing cash sales, we used to spend $40–$50 a month on ATM fees. Now, every dollar stays in our business.” - Maria, Holdings customer
Convenience and Accessibility: Banking Where You Do Business
Allpoint ATMs are everywhere you already shop-CVS, Walgreens, Target, Circle K, and more. That means you can:
Withdraw cash while picking up inventory.
Deposit cash after closing out your register.
Access your funds 24/7, not just during “banker’s hours.”
No more detours or lost productivity. Your business cash is always close at hand.
Streamlined Cash Management for Busy Teams
Managing business cash shouldn’t be a juggling act. Holdings and Allpoint make it simple:
Deposit cash sales instantly at Allpoint+ ATMs-no more waiting for branch hours.
Empower your team: Issue Holdings cards to trusted employees so they can withdraw or deposit cash as needed, with real-time tracking.
Monitor everything: Your Holdings dashboard shows every withdrawal and deposit, so you can track spending, spot trends, and simplify your accounting.

Security is non-negotiable when it comes to your business funds. Here’s how Holdings and Allpoint keep your money safe:
Trusted network: Allpoint ATMs are located in well-lit, high-traffic retail stores, reducing the risk of theft or fraud.
No need to carry large sums: Deposit cash sales quickly and frequently, keeping less cash on hand.
FDIC insurance: Holdings accounts are insured up to $3 million, giving you peace of mind.
Best Practices: Getting the Most from Fee-Free ATM Access
Here’s how savvy business owners make the most of Holdings and Allpoint:

Know your limits: Remind employees of the $400 withdrawal limit per transaction and plan ahead for larger cash needs.
Educate your team: Make sure everyone knows how to find Allpoint ATMs and understands the importance of using surcharge-free locations.
Integrate with your workflow: Combine ATM visits with routine errands at CVS, Walgreens, or Target.
Track everything: Use Holdings’ real-time dashboard to monitor team withdrawals, deposits, and spending patterns.
Real-World Example: How a Catering Business Wins with Holdings
Let’s say you run a catering company with several team members:
Before an event: Your staff withdraws cash from an Allpoint ATM at Walgreens to buy last-minute supplies-no fees, no hassle.
After the event: Cash payments from clients are deposited at an Allpoint+ ATM at CVS, right after picking up cleaning supplies.
Result: No wasted trips to the bank, no surprise fees, and every dollar stays in your business.
