Kiosk Design

In the 1970s Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) became the first mainstream kiosks, allowing customers more freedom in banking, as hours of operation and location were no longer tied to a particular branch. However, due to their limited technology, large footprint and extreme expense, ATMs could never make the leap into the retail environment.

With Source Technologies’ intelligent kiosks and software, in-store banking is now available. By providing automated bill payment, check cashing, and credit applications, these kiosk designs enable retailers to cut costs, drive traffic and incremental revenue, increase customer loyalty, and provide a new promotional channel for retailers.

To ensure a successful kiosk deployment, retailers must consider a number of factors including the kiosk design, functionality, reliability and user interface. Source Technologies' BillPay kiosk is an award-winning design, taking both the 2005 "Best Financial Kiosk" and the Reader's Choice Award at the Self-Service & Kiosk Show in San Francisco. This intelligent and easy-to-use kiosk design enables real-time payments while reducing customer waiting time and retail manpower. It's a win-win design.

Customers are able to pay bills without waiting in line for customer service representatives, and can pay with check, cash, credit card, or debit card. The process is quicker than in-person transactions, just as functional, and equally secure, thanks to technologies developed by Source Technologies. Customers appreciate the convenience, and businesses enjoy the efficiency of being able to redirect staff resources to other tasks. Download the white papers offered on this site to learn even more.
