Portlogic offers ATM card-issuing kiosks

April 13, 2012

Banking kiosks that allow users to complete applications for loans, Visa cards, insurance products and other financial services are now available from Portlogic Systems Inc., a mobile and Internet software developer and kiosk solutions provider for electronic payments, marketing delivery and community communication systems.

"The user-friendly kiosk automates banking transactions, which we believe can only lead to cost savings and reduction of manual errors," Jueane Thiessen, CFO of Portlogic Systems, said in a company press release.

The kiosks feature touchscreens with Virtual Tellers that lead customers through each process; they also take photos, scan copies of applicants' IDs and use an integrated signature panel to capture an applicant's real signature.

All terminals have a printer and mailbox, allowing users to print, sign and deposit as needed. Users come back to the terminal once transactions have been approved to collect smart- and magnetic strip cards which are dispensed by the kiosk, to be used at most ATM machines. The banking kiosks also feature a telephone, which can instantly connect to customer assistance.
