Cashless Stored Value

Our Wickets cashless stored value payment system, designed for the carwash market, finally gives you a way to convert to a cashless card system without having to turn away your cash-only customers. Wickets utilize modern RFID (radio frequency identification) cards that are capable of securely storing value right on the card. It is the same as having notes in your wallet or change in your pocket. When a Wicket is presented to a Wicket Reader, value is debited from the secure memory on the Wicket to start a machine. When the value on the Wicket has been depleted, additional funds may be added back to the Wicket at a Revalue Station. Many advanced technical and marketing features have been designed into the Wickets System as outlined in the below System Features list.

Wickets:

A Wicket has an RFID (radio frequency identification) transponder chip and antenna laminated inside that is powered by the RF energy of the Reader’s antenna when a customer brings a Wicket within about 1/2 inch of a Reader. The Reader interrogates the Wicket, verifies its authenticity via an encrypted handshake, checks it for the correct SiteID, and access the account balance stored on the Wicket using an encrypted password. There’s no central server required, the account balance is on the Wicket. Wickets are made in the form of a credit card, or a keyfob easily attached to a key ring.

Readers:

The Wicket Reader is housed in a sealed ¾” threaded tubular body 2.1” long with a 1.1” diameter face. Reading range is approximately ½”. A Wicket is easily read by tapping the Wicket’s circle-W icon on the Reader’s face for a fraction of a second. The normally blue illuminated face of the Reader changes to other colors to indicate the status of a transaction or the status of the equipment as shown in the graphic to the right. The exceedingly small footprint of this Reader allows it to be added to most existing equipment without the need for additional boxes.

Interfaces:

Four interfaces are available to connect the Wicket Reader to your equipment and provide it power. They include “coin pulse” output types for 24VAC and 120/240VAC powered self service bay equipment and vacuums, an MDB interface type for revalue stations changers and vending machines, and a smart Card-Display interface for IDX display-timers.

Revalue Stations:

Includes a Wicket reader and a Wicket card dispenser that holds Wickets cards. Options include a receipt printer and credit card acceptor.
