Source: www.finextra.com
Signed by Stefan Ingves, the Riksbank Governor, the letter states that the banks have reduced their cash handling services too fast, resulting in a lack of cash services in less populated areas in particular, but for the public in general.
Mike Lee, CEO of the ATMIA, says: “This is a victory for common sense and for the future balance of the Swedish consumer economy and I’d like to congratulate the Swedish Riksbank for seeing through the mirage of anti-cash propaganda in the media to reveal the basic economic right of free citizens to choose their own payment methods at all times, whether cash or digital.”
Next, you need to consider user security, since bill-payment kiosks deal with sensitive information. “At a minimum, this means your kiosk needs to meet EMV standards. Bill-payment kiosks need to have an EMV-certified payment system. This means that the data is encrypted from the moment the card is entered, through the kiosk, the gateway, the processor, and the vendor,” said Laura Miller, director of marketing, KioWare Software. In addition, you also need to keep your software and hardware up to date to close security loopholes.
One way to keep your kiosk secure is to use kiosk software to lock down the kiosk and prevent hackers from messing with sensitive data. “Kiosks need to be secured with kiosk software if they are going to be handling sensitive information, particularly of a financial nature. Anything else is a poor substitute that can put users and organizations at risk for data theft or leakage,” Miller said. “Kiosk software is built exactly for this purpose, with file download blocking, browser lockdown, clearing of private data, resetting the browser between users, and EMV-supported payment encryption to secure payment data.”
Bill-payment kiosks can provide great benefits to retail customers, as long as you keep the basics of availability, security and customer experience in mind.

Read the entire article on bbc.com — It’s tempting to forecast the demise of cash. In fact, people have been predicting the end for physical money for nearly 60 years. With the rise of credit cards, contactless payments and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin the death knells have only gotten louder.
The Netherlands is an interesting case study to look at more closely, because their retail sector has recently embraced card payments in a big way. There are now 1,400 supermarkets in the Netherlands with registers that don’t accept cash.
In the UK, half the transactions by consumers in 2013 were with cash
As a result, card payments in the Netherlands have been growing by about 7 to 8% annually over the past few years. And yet, cash is still king. In 2012, there were 2.7 billion card payments, but an estimated 3.5 to 4 billion payments were made with cash. “Even in supermarkets which all accept debit cards, cash is still used heavily,” Jonker says. “For the time being we think cash will keep on having an important role.”
