Venue Ready Kiosk Hardware
Rugged enclosures, cash acceptors, card dispensers, and accessible design make cash to card kiosks suitable for sports stadiums, hotels and resorts, airports and travel hubs, amusement and water parks, as well as theatres and cinemas with high, variable footfall and peak event periods.

Configurable reporting and role-based access support operational oversight across locations and help inform broader self-service banking and cash management strategies.
Secure Card Issuance
Reverse ATM kiosks are designed around EMV card security and work with prepaid debit cards that can be used at standard point-of-sale terminals. Kiosk software is centrally managed through ViaOS, supporting controlled configurations and updates in line with your organisation’s security and compliance policies.
