Cash-To-Card Kiosks
Cash To Card / Reverse ATM
Cash-to-card kiosks, also known as reverse ATMs, allow users to convert cash or credit and debit card funds into prepaid, digital cards, including gift cards. They can be found in places like amusement parks, sports stadiums and arenas, college campuses, music festivals or supermarkets. Some businesses even this type of debit card dispensing technology to pay employees who may not have bank accounts. These cards eliminate the need for users to carry large amounts of cash or worry about lost or stolen credit and debit cards. Plus, they can be used 24/7, making them a convenient option for most.

Cash-to-Card Kiosk Applications
Cash-to-card kiosks have wide-ranging applications that benefit many businesses and industries while improving customer experience, too.:
- Carnivals and Amusement Parks – Cash-to-card kiosks offer a convenient payment option for amusement parks and carnivals, especially for parents who wish to provide a budget for their children, and/or are uncomfortable with the risks associated with them carrying cash.
- Music Festivals – Music festivals often take place in remote locations over multiple days. Cash-to-card kiosks can be manufactured as part of mobile trailers that can easily transport any number of units wherever they are needed, allowing attendees to avoid carrying cash or credit cards.
- Arcades and Amusement Centers – Funds added to pre-paid cards help parents set limits on expenditures, while providing a convenient and safe alternative to cash.
- Educational Institutions – Parents and guardians can pre-load cards to be used on campus at cafeterias, local participating eateries, and college bookstores — even pay for tuition and fees.
- Transportation – Pre-paid public transit cards can be used to purchase fares and reload digital cards for buses, subways and trains.
