Cash Terminal with LaundryMoney

The PeopleStation Cash Terminal accepts $5, $10 and $20 banknotes and credits the user's card with the equivalent value. Every PeopleStation Cash Terminal can process Internet based LaundryMoney transactions and maintain a complete audit log of each transaction. Audit data is down-loaded to a Management Card and can be uploaded to the LaundryMoney web site for report generation and management viewing immediately - anywhere at any time.

The PeopleStation Surface Mount Terminal is constructed with a double wall and triple-lock system to resist physical vandalism. All electronics are contained in a die-cast Control Module for fast, cost-effective field service.

In addition to the basic PeopleStation that accepts cash, the Terminal can be ordered with the following feature sets:

The Terminal can be equipped with a card dispenser that eliminates the need for on-site management to maintain a supply of user cards.

PeopleStation Bank Card Option

The PeopleStation Terminal can be integrated with a bank card transaction processing modem and software that has been approved by the electronic payments industry. This software integration has eliminated the high expense of a third-party transaction processing solution.

The Cashless Terminal is a self-contained value-add system designed for locations where the equipment operator or property manager wants to completely eliminate cash from the facility and minimize involvement from on-site management.

Value can be added only through a bank card account (credit or debit card with Visa, MasterCard or Discover logo). There are two options to add-value: the card holder can swipe their bank card at the Terminal or use the BridgePoint LaundryMoney value-add website to obtain a 10 digit transaction number for adding value at the Terminal.

The Terminal is available in two configurations, with and without the local credit card swipe. The model without the credit card swipe operates only with LaundryMoney and eliminates the need for (and cost of) a dedicated telephone line.

PeopleStation HandHeld Terminal

The PeopleStation HandHeld Terminal is battery powered hand-held unit that functions as an entry-level value-add terminal for use in smaller properties that have only a few machines (typically less than 8). It can also function as a backup to a PeopleStation Cash terminal in larger properties, and be used by field service staff to issue refunds without carrying hard cash.

To add value for a resident's card, the property attendant inserts the card and their own Management Refill Card into the terminal, and then selects the amount to be added using the up/down value buttons. Each time value is added to a User Card, an identical amount is deducted from the Refill Card. This provides an audit trail of the total value that has been "transferred" by the manager from their Management Card.

The Management Refill Cards are extremely secure and can only be used to transfer value to and from User Cards. This enables the HandHeld Terminal to be used in route-operated applications where the operator "sells" the Refill Card for his portion of the revenue while the property manager collects funds from the resident. The property manager must continue to purchase Refill Cards from the route operator to revalue cards.

PC Terminal with CardView Software

The CardView Software is a user friendly program that operates on most Windows platforms. CardView requires a BridgePoint Desktop Reader attached to the PC's serial port for reading and writing to the User Card. The software can perform a number of card management functions, including adding value to and subtracting value from a User Card.
