At REDYREF, we’re always looking for ways to make everyday transactions easier and more secure for users, and simpler and more profitable for our customers. Our cash-to-card kiosks and reverse ATMs, which convert cash into prepaid cards, are perfect examples of this mission. While these kiosks are commonly used in places like fairs, arenas and other concert and sports venues, their potential goes far beyond this set of use cases. Below, you can check out eight of the most interesting and unique ways these kiosks are being used across many different environments:
