MEI Introduces AE2600 Bill Acceptor for Retail Kiosk Applications
Cash sale option helps kiosk operators boost profits and increase customer satisfaction
WEST CHESTER, PA - July 26, 2000 - MEI, the world's leading supplier of high-performance electronic payment systems, announced its new AE2600 bill acceptor that accepts $1, $2, $5, $10, and $20 bills for use in retail kiosks. The AE2600 uses advanced optics and bill transport technology to provide ultra-reliable performance in unattended kiosk applications. The AE2600, like all MEI bill acceptors, utilizes patented, multi-wavelength optic technology. This technology enables the versatile MEI AE2600 bill acceptor to handle torn, wrinkled, faded, or dirty currency; allows consumers to insert bills up, down and facing either direction; provides the industry's highest protection from counterfeit; ensures a minimum 95% acceptance rate; and reduces the need for service and routine maintenance. Performance and reliability are hallmarks of the AE2600 system. Its advanced streamlined bill transport design eliminates the need for jam-prone magnetic pinch rollers in the bill path. This reduces the possibility of bill jams to levels previously unseen in unattended applications. The AE2600 bill acceptor also features MARS® FLASHPORT™ re-programmable flash memory solution that enables operators to quickly and cost-effectively update software files to recognize new currency designs.

"OEMs have an incredible opportunity to capitalize on the retail kiosk industry, which is predicted to mushroom into a $7.5 billion dollar industry by 2006," said Fiona Naughton, global business development manager at MEI. "More than twice as many purchases are made with cash today than with credit cards and electronic payment systems combined, and at least 28% of U.S. residents still don't own a credit or debit card. So, retail kiosks must be capable of accepting cash for optimal profit and customer satisfaction. The AE2600 is an ideal choice to specify into the design of most kiosks." MEI's AE2600 bill acceptors are available in upstacking and downstacking configurations to accommodate virtually any kiosk design. All products feature convenient access to switches and easy-to-read labels. Operation can be customized with a single switch configuration coupon.
