Abstract

See full text

Self-service methods for money remittance and kiosks are provided. An exemplary kiosk includes a video display, a card reader, a keypad, a money validation device, and a processor in communication with a database and a processing system across a network. A person can remit money to a recipient by simply presenting an access card to the card reader, entering a PIN on the keypad, and inserting cash into the money validation device. The database includes information associated with the identifier such as one or more established recipients and necessary information for remitting funds to each. The kiosk can receive a list of established recipients from the database and present the list to the person on the video display. After the person selects a recipient from the list, the kiosk can transmit to the processing system the recipient and the cash amount received by the money validation device.
