Most venues and retail environments don’t want to handle cash—but many still need a way to accept it.
Cash slows transactions, increases labor, creates reconciliation headaches, and introduces avoidable risk. At the same time, going fully cashless can mean turning away customers who still rely on physical currency.
Cash-to-card kiosks, also known as reverse ATMs, solve that problem by converting cash into a prepaid card that can be used anywhere within your environment.
These systems are commonly deployed in high-traffic environments such as sports stadiums and arenas, college campuses, amusement parks, festivals, and large retail environments.
Once cash is converted, every transaction stays fully digital—eliminating the need to manage cash at each point of sale while still capturing revenue from cash-paying customers.
Cash-to-card kiosks aren’t just standalone devices—they’re part of a broader system for simplifying how payments are handled across your operation.
At REDYREF, these systems are designed to reduce the operational burden of cash while integrating with your existing payment environment. Instead of managing cash at every point of sale, you centralize it into a controlled, self-service workflow.
Our cash-to-card kiosk solutions combine commercial-grade hardware, secure transaction processing, and flexible software integrations to support a wide range of deployment environments.
Each system is built to align with self-service strategies and evolving cashless transaction models, helping organizations maintain speed, consistency, and control.
The cash-to-card system can be deployed in multiple hardware configurations depending on environment, volume, and footprint requirements.
A compact, space-efficient configuration designed for environments where floor space is limited but reliable cash-to-card functionality is still required.
The Hoback model delivers the core capabilities of the system in a smaller footprint, making it a practical option for distributed placement or lower-volume areas within a venue.
It’s commonly used in reverse ATM deployments where flexibility, footprint, and ease of placement matter as much as performance.
A versatile, freestanding configuration designed for a wide range of transactional environments.
The Encounter model balances visibility, accessibility, and capacity, making it a strong fit for high-traffic areas where consistent usage is expected.
It’s commonly deployed in cash-to-card and reverse ATM systems where reliability, user flow, and ease of interaction are critical.
A high-capacity configuration designed for demanding environments, including both indoor and outdoor deployments.
The Escape model is built for flexibility in large venues, temporary events, and mobile setups where durability, weather resistance, and ease of deployment are critical.
It’s commonly used in reverse ATM systems and debit card dispensing solutions for festivals, carnivals, and other high-volume environments.
The software behind REDYREF’s reverse ATM and cash-to-card kiosk systems enables a fully cashless operation without adding complexity at the point of sale.
Once cash is converted at the kiosk, all transactions move through your standard payment infrastructure—keeping the experience consistent across concessions, retail, and other environments. The platform supports multiple payment types and integrates with systems such as loyalty programs and reporting tools.
Built-in reporting and analytics provide visibility into transaction activity, system usage, and performance across locations.
The system also includes security features such as encryption and user authentication, along with support for industry standards like PCI DSS—allowing your business to go cashless with confidence.
Cash-to-card systems are deployed in high-traffic environments where reducing cash handling and maintaining fast, consistent transactions are operational priorities. Cash-to-card kiosks support these environments by converting cash into digital payments, helping operators simplify workflows while improving the cashless customer experience.
Temporary and seasonal environments benefit from a centralized way to accept cash without managing it across multiple vendors. Cash-to-card kiosks allow operators to maintain a consistent, cashless experience while simplifying setup, reconciliation, and security.
Multi-day events and remote locations require payment systems that are easy to deploy and manage. Cash-to-card kiosks can be integrated into mobile setups, reducing cash handling while maintaining fast, reliable transactions.
Cash-to-card systems allow operators to eliminate cash handling while giving guests a simple way to load and manage spending, improving flow and reducing friction at point of sale.
Retail environments can accept cash without handling it directly by converting it into prepaid cards, reducing register complexity and maintaining a consistent payment experience.
Campuses can centralize cash acceptance while maintaining a digital payment experience across services, simplifying payment management for both students and administrators.
Transit systems can convert cash into digital fare payments at centralized kiosks, reducing onboard cash handling and improving speed and consistency.
Cash-to-card systems don’t just provide another payment option—they simplify how cash is handled across an entire operation.
By centralizing cash acceptance into a controlled, self-service environment, organizations can reduce complexity at the point of sale while maintaining a fully digital transaction flow.
Instead of managing cash everywhere, you manage it once—then operate as if your environment is fully cashless.
