BILL PAYMENT MACHINE
WHAT IS A SELF SERVICE PAYMENT KIOSK?
A self-service payment machine, which is also called a payment kiosk, is capable of accepting payment. It can be in the form of cash, credit, e-wallet, etc. Technically, the kiosks form part of the point of sale (POS) system wherein users choose a transaction and pay for it straight from the machine.
These kiosks are fully automated and standalone, accepting payments for various merchants and billers operating across the Philippines. This enables contactless and frictionless services. As a standalone kiosk, it can process multiple transactions. However, an establishment can also place its own self-service kiosk in-store, processing only the transactions unique to its business.
Self-service payment kiosks reduce people’s reliance on OTC payments. Aside from payment, these kiosks also process cash-ins or top-ups.
Create streamlined payment experiences with self-service payment kiosks
Payment kiosks in the Philippines are increasingly becoming widespread. One reason for this is the actual convenience of paying for goods and services without enduring long queues when otherwise paying for them over the counter (OTC).
Think of these self-service payment machines as an alternative way to pay for purchases that deliver a more conducive payment experience for both the consumer and the establishment. Definitely a win-win!
How do you use a self-service kiosk?
Self-service kiosks are easy to use. Simply choose the transaction you want to complete (bill payment, top-up, or mobile load). Then, key in the data required, such as the mobile or account number. The pay button will be displayed. Tap on it and insert the cash or card. The machine accepts pesos bills such as 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000. Follow the prompt and wait for the transaction receipt. Please be reminded that self-service payment machines cannot issue official receipts (ORs).
You will also receive an SMS notification on the linked mobile number for each transaction you complete.
WHY USE A SELF-SERVICE PAYMENT KIOSK
The Philippines is taking a revolutionary step towards becoming more inclusive and diverse fintech-wise. Robust payment systems are necessary post-pandemic when the government is working doubly hard to revitalize economic activities.
There are many reasons the Filipinos must use these payment machines.
Enhanced customer experience
Self-service kiosks are intuitive to use and process payments quickly, making the most of each visit to the establishment. Anyone can use it as well, including the underbanked and unbanked Filipinos. Users need not worry about security issues as well because the machines deliver end-to-end encrypted transactions.
Saves valuable time
Filipinos—young and old—are eager to see more self-service payment machines so they may take control of the payment process. It boils down to pacing and ownership of the entire process. Payment confirmation is real-time; the transaction is reflected in the account quickly. No waiting and no delays whatsoever would hinder the customers from doing what they have to.
Improved payment confidence
Seeing kiosks where they are time and again also breeds familiarity, more so when completing repetitive transactions. The machines have data capture capabilities as well. Not just the reduced costs, though, but also the proactive financial management whereby the users can avoid late and reconnect fees and service interruptions and with no reduced wait times.
Maximized the given space
Kiosks usually require a small space, which means establishments may use their real estate for other purposes. It can be positioned anywhere where there’s foot traffic. A kiosk can be mounted anywhere space-permitting.
With the above, there are so many reasons self-service kiosks should be the new norm!
