Sports stadiums and entertainment centers often manage large sums of cash for ticketing, betting, food & drink and merchandise purchases. Kiosks help sports stadiums and entertainment centers optimize their services by enabling guests to convert cash to prepaid cards – speeding transactions while decreasing security risks.
Nonprofits can engage donors at donation kiosks by using fun sounds like Ka-Ching or Jack Pot when someone donates. Churches may add branding to the giving kiosk to inspire generous congregants.
Convenience
Cash-to-card kiosks differ from payment kiosks by offering more flexibility in accepting physical forms of currency like bills and coins, typically via an acceptor and dispenser (also referred to as money boxes) that allow users to quickly receive change whenever required.
Street festivals and events with multiple food, drink or merchandise vendors often require attendees to pay in cash, which limits sales right off the bat and creates long wait times. A cash-to-card kiosk can help reduce these wait times while encouraging more spending while mitigating health risks associated with handling germ-laden cash.
Airports often utilize these kiosks to help travelers transition seamlessly to local payments, including currency exchange services with high fees and the issuance of prepaid cards accepted across the airport. This improves traveler satisfaction while simultaneously helping the airport reduce handling costs associated with handling cash; plus the closed-loop cash-to-card system makes reloading cards easy on subsequent visits.
Attract More Attention
Cash-to-card kiosks provide a unique opportunity for drawing attention at community events. Commonly referred to as reverse ATM technology, these self-service kiosks allow guests to pay with cash instantly and anonymously with no exchange of personal data – which means their tickets, merchandise and food items can be quickly purchased without long lines! Located anywhere from retail stores, airports, event centers/stadiums, restaurants or attractions these self-service machines serve cash paying customers.
Cash-2-Card kiosks were implemented at an entertainment venue and saw ticket sales grow by 20% as guests appreciated their convenience of purchasing products and services digitally, enabling them to return quickly before movie trailers had finished playing. Also, eliminating cash handling at point of sale has important safety and security advantages; germs (such as flu viruses) can live for 17 days on paper money so going cashless helps prevent employees from touching these harmful germs directly.
Increase Sales
Cash-to-card kiosks make sales transactions faster and increase customer satisfaction, especially at music festivals where fans purchase food, drinks, merchandise and souvenirs. Furthermore, being able to add funds onto prepaid cards helps parents set spending limits for their children.
Sports stadiums see a substantial amount of cash change hands through ticket sales, betting and concession stand purchases. To help these venues convert cashless payments, REDYREF provides indoor and outdoor reverse ATM kiosks that can be installed quickly under various weather conditions – and are even built into mobile trailers for convenient transport between venues.
Cash-to-card kiosks provide another advantage, in that they help eliminate the need for currency exchange services with their high fees. Kiosks can also enable vendors and hawkers to accept tips from guests without incurring additional expenses from currency exchange services.
Increase Customer Satisfaction
If you want to increase customer satisfaction, decrease labor costs, and expand payment options at your facility, consider installing a Cash-to-card kiosk. These self-service machines allow customers to turn cash transactions into digital ones that can easily be swiped by your POS system.
As opposed to traditional cash registers, kiosks can easily manage large volumes of cash with ease and provide customers with a seamless transaction experience. By eliminating manual cash handling by your staff – an activity which often leads to increased stress and tension – kiosks provide your customers with quick transactions while relieving them of hassle.
Visitors to your venue/event center/stadium can now insert cash into a self-service kiosk and receive a prepaid card that they can use throughout your stadium/event center/stadium, or wherever cards are accepted. Music festivals have seen increased ticket sales since adopting cashless payments using reverse ATM kiosks; this enables attendees to set budgets while decreasing security risks when attending the event.
