Haze Lancaster III
Owner & Founding Partner
Haze brings an expertise in customer relationship management
and ATM sales and marketing to his role with ATM USA. Born
and raised in North Carolina, Haze comes from a family of
successful
business owners who always instilled the importance of a
strong work ethic. He began his business training at North
Carolina State University,
where he earned a BA in business management. Later, as Haze
began to work with his father’s pay telephone business,
Triangle Telephone Company, he refined his instinctive appreciation
for customer service and vending technology, and
committed himself to stay in a constant pursuit of the latest
products to help customers. As a sales manager, Haze
gained a better understanding
of his customers' personal experiences
in the changing market. With that knowledge, he continually
searched for new ways to serve these growing businesses – and
still does today.
The Lancaster
family sold the business in 1998 but, in Haze's final year
with the company, he realized that many of
his
existing customers
were clamoring for someone to provide a full service ATM
placement program similar to the services provided for them
in the payphone business. At the time very few ISOs would
do turnkey programs with ATM placements and ATM leasing.
Recognizing this opportunity, Haze and his partners began
ATM USA. Since that time, ATM USA has become a leading ATM
distributor with
a
fierce
reputation for providing excellent customer service, a legacy
Haze is most proud of. Haze remains in North Carolina
with his wife and two sons, and appreciates the success
they have enjoyed in the ATM business since its start more
than six years ago.

Mitch Lancaster
Owner & Vice President of Operations
As VP of Operations, Mitch handles the day-to-day operations
at ATM USA including ATM installs, cash loads, and ATM service
work and repairs. But before enjoying his role in what is
now a successful ATM business, Mitch and Haze shared the
vision of a company that responds to customers’ challenges
and fills the void left by other ATM distributors.
Mitch, like his brother, graduated with a bachelor’s
degree from North Carolina State University and worked with
his father in the pay telephone vending business. In his
work with the Triangle Telephone Company, he gained experience
in machine service and product research and development.
While working in product development, Mitch recognized that
the ATM business was predominantly dedicated to ATM wholesale,
which did not always accommodate the business owner. At that
point, he identified the need for ATM leasing and placement
services to help businesses, like his pay phone customers,
increase their revenues. It was this drive to serve growing
businesses that led to ATM USA’s inception in January
1998. ATM USA installed its first ATM in February 1998 at
a corner store in Raleigh, NC and by the end of the year,
the company had installed over 30 ATMs. Since then, ATM USA
has experienced rapid and steady growth and, currently, ATM
USA has over 3,000 ATMs installed across the United States.

Brian White
Owner & Managing Member
Brian White, the managing member of ATM USA, handles the
financial aspects of the business. Brian graduated from the
University of North Carolina with a BA in political science
and economics. Brian’s financial and business sense
serves ATM USA well as he ensures that the company has sufficient
financial resources for its desired expansion. He also monitors
accounts payable and accounts receivable, making sure that
ATM USA’s expenses are always paid in a timely manner.
Brian was a minor partner in the Triangle Telephone Company
for almost seven years before starting ATM USA. When the
telephone company was sold in 1998, it provided the necessary
capital to start ATM USA, LLC and helped it become one of
the most successful ATM distributors in the business.
Today, Brian lives in NC with his wife and two young daughters
and continues to seek expansion opportunities and ways for
the company to grow their national presence.
