Self-service site and self-service branch

Self-service site and self-service branch

Keeping cash available when a branch closes

When a bank branch closes, local access to cash does not have to disappear. A stand-alone self-service site can retain the cash machine locally – at the former branch or at another suitable location within the catchment area.

An ATM pavilion is not a staffed advisory branch: it provides space for cash machines and self-service. Planning starts with customer needs, available space and connections. The appropriate pavilion and equipment are selected afterwards.

  • Plan cash access independently of rented branch premises
  • Assess the existing site or an alternative within the catchment area
  • Specify machine types and numbers before choosing a pavilion
  • Coordinate the surface, power, data and crane access
  • Allow for future site changes with a relocatable pavilion

Stay at the existing location

Check whether a suitable outdoor area is available at the former branch. The pavilion stands independently of the building, allowing an ATM site to remain without continuing to use the former indoor space for self-service.

Choose a new location

A shopping centre or town centre may offer an alternative. Compare accessibility, available space and connection options. Visibility of the machine and access for operation and maintenance also belong in the site decision.

Plan for transitions

A relocatable pavilion can provide an interim solution during refurbishment or when demand changes. It is delivered in one piece and can later be lifted again. Discuss your timeframe and intended subsequent use with Veloform early in the process.

What to clarify before choosing a site

A site enquiry becomes more specific when space, connections and intended use are already described. These points support the discussion; they do not replace an assessment of the individual installation conditions.

Space and load-bearing capacity

Describe the available area and its surface. Dimensions and weight vary by pavilion; check the load-bearing capacity for the chosen model.

Power and data connections

Clarify where power and data connections are available and how they can be routed to the ATM site.

Delivery and access

The pavilion is set down by loading crane. Allow for vehicle access and installation space, as well as subsequent access for customers, operation and maintenance.

Use and coordination

Specify machine type, number, intended use and timeframe. Also clarify with the landowner and relevant authorities whether the area may be used and which requirements apply.

Which site needs can a pavilion address?

  • Replacing a closed branch
  • Second site within the catchment area
  • Interim solution during refurbishment
  • New residential and commercial areas
  • Sites with seasonal demand

From enquiry to installation

Every room system is built at our works in Vockerode and leaves the hall fully fitted out. It is installed in one piece, which keeps work on site short.

  1. 01

    Enquiry and advice

    You describe the site, the intended use and the equipment you need. Together we choose the right variant and the optional extras.

  2. 02

    Planning and design

    Dimensions, layout and exterior finish are matched to your project. The design follows your brand, from the base coat to the backlit exterior panel.

  3. 03

    Production at the works

    The steel-reinforced concrete shell is produced at our works. Electrical installation, interior fit-out and – for ATM pavilions – the cash machine are installed there.

  4. 04

    Delivery and installation

    The room system is delivered in one piece and set down by loading crane. Only the connections remain to be made on site.

  5. 05

    Relocate instead of demolish

    If requirements change, the same room system is moved to a new site in one piece.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can an ATM pavilion replace a closed branch?

    It can retain the ATM site and local cash access. An ATM pavilion does not replace personal advice or the other services of a staffed branch. The available self-service functions depend on the machine installed.

  • Does the pavilion have to stand at the former branch?

    No. Another suitable location within the catchment area may also be considered. Individual installation conditions, a load-bearing surface, power and data connections, and loading-crane access are decisive.

  • What information does Veloform need for a site enquiry?

    Useful details include the proposed location, dimensions and a description of the area, machine types and numbers, available connections and your preferred timeframe. These help coordinate the pavilion, equipment and next planning steps.

  • How soon can the new self-service site open?

    This depends on the pavilion, equipment and site preparation. A fixed duration cannot be given without assessing the project. Include your intended opening date in your enquiry.

  • Can the pavilion later be moved to another location?

    Yes. The pavilion is lifted in one piece and installed again at another suitable site. The surface, connections and delivery access must also be checked at the new location.

  • Are the examples replacement sites following branch closures?

    The photographs show real ATM installations. Whether each installation followed a branch closure is not documented here; the examples are therefore not presented as branch-closure projects.
