Kiosk terminals are the future. We live in a world that demands more and more flexibility from all of us – customers demand the possibility to buy, to send an e-mail, to make a transaction or even to renew a driver’s licence 24 hours a day. Kiosk terminals can offer all these services, but they need to offer even more: the option to pay with cash. The explanation is simple: everybody uses cash, and the services and products handled by a kiosk have values that exceed the quantity of coins in peoples’ pockets. But instead of paying by credit card, many people prefer paying with banknotes; it is faster and anonymous. Experience show that the integration of banknote acceptors can raise the turnover of a machine considerably. To ensure the smooth operation of this popular payment option, it is important to choose a reliable banknote acceptor. JCM banknote acceptors are known worldwide for their high quality and reliability, one reason why the WBA has set industry standards. Kiosk systems vary significantly and so do their requirements for banknote acceptors. In order to offer cash handling solutions for any kind of kiosk systems, the JCM product range goes from small acceptor sizes without cashboxes to very big acceptors with cashbox capacities up to 2000 banknotes. The security of these cashboxes can be adapted in order to fulfil even high security standards necessary for banking or deposit terminals.

In order to satisfy customers’ ideas of a good kiosk terminal, the time factor is another crucial point. Kiosk users expect quick transactions from the first to the last step – otherwise, the whole kiosk system loses one of its main advantages. The average validation speed of the JCM bill acceptor UBA is one of the fastest in the industry - in a very short time, each banknote is scanned by high-technology sensors in order to ensure that only legal tenders will be stacked while counterfeits are rejected. Over 50 years of experience in the production of cash handling solutions ensure that product warranty, service coverage and technical support are provided for every kiosk OEM.

JCM's banknote acceptors in kiosk systems have recently been recognised for their excellence at the Self Service & Kiosk Show. The company won an award for its innovative kiosk implemented by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.
