Thanks but i would of thought it had to be connect to our bank account so therefore had to go though checks and so on,we had one back in the uk and that's how it worked and was told that we couldn't bring it over here as it wouldn't work?

ATM machine only if it was full haha

cheers

You have to ask your bank and they will decide if you are acceptable or not. if you have a good working relationship with your bank manager then contact him/her first.
We have had them very quickly but it does depend on the bank, your type of business and the risk they consider you/ your business to be. Beware though that any car related business is considered high risk.

Will not sure about our bank manager (him) i think only met him twice and the second time he was trying to tell us what i should do with our money in the bank and about investment and i got to admit he was been very pushy,so i think i have enough to back us up to get one as we are looking into 3 other ventures as we need to do something to keep busy as boredom would be our biggest killer and i would think any business would be high risk here at the minute if you are just starting up,but that's what i like starting right from the beginning,will have to go and see them.

Thanks for that Casabonny.

Are you talking about a cash dispensing machine or the facility to take payments by credit card
If the latter most banks will set this up for a business account within a week.

Debit/credit Machine just lets people pay by card,used them in the uk and its a very handy thing to have so i will be going to the bank tomorrow.

Cheers
