Nobody is looking between inspections
At a staffed branch, an odd-looking card slot might be noticed by someone walking past. At an unattended machine there is no such chance. The inspection interval is the entire control, which is why it should be shorter, not longer, at exactly these sites.
The operational cost of a compromised terminal
A skimming device that is found forces the machine out of service until the review is complete, and that location loses capacity exactly when it is most visible. On top of the cost of the incident itself comes the cost of the interruption: transactions moved to the teller desk, more in-person queries and a branch working with fewer resources. That is why fleet security is also measured in service hours preserved. It is one of the questions branches ask us most often: why are there so many people waiting.
Fixed routes and what they buy
Being called out to individual sites costs more per visit than running a planned route. For the same annual budget, a route usually delivers two or three times the number of inspections, and the dates are predictable for everyone involved.
