posted Dec 04, 2006

Orlando, FL December 4, 2006 – Coin Free LLC is pleased to announce the availability of the small, versatile and affordable Coin Free BUMP. The BUMP is a debit & credit card acceptor that validates payment information wirelessly through cellular networks while allowing the operator to remotely monitor kiosk vitals and daily sales reports anywhere they have access to the Internet. Customer loyalty programs, value-pricing schedules, individualized greetings, gift card programs and bi-directional data transfer are all made possible with this unique value added payment system.

The BUMP works right along side any coin or bill acceptor, so there is no need to waste money replacing existing payment technologies. The BUMP includes a simple pulse interface to connect between existing cash acceptors and an RS-232 serial port to talk directly with the kiosk controller. It also has three (3) additional sensor inputs to track user specified variables like consumables, product dispensers, mechanical coin acceptors and/or known service call variables. With the addition of micro-switch sensors, an operator can remotely monitor any aspect of the kiosk’s daily operation through the website www.mycoinfree.com.

Installation couldn’t be any easier. Completely wireless, The BUMP mounts to any 3.75” x 2.25” surface with nothing more than a drill and four standard back mounted bolts. For retrofits onto kiosks with fancy injection molded cases, Coin Free offers several side-mounting brackets to accommodate any space. Through the application of advanced wireless technology there is no need for a phone line or Internet connection making it easy for any freestanding kiosk to accept debit & credit card payments.

Designed to address the kiosk operator’s need for an affordable cashless retrofit, retail pricing for The BUMP starts at less than $300 per device. The BUMP offers many value added features to make an operator’s life easier and their business more profitable. For consumers a full-color LCD screen displays eye-catching graphics to grab their attention, while programmable instruction guides them through the cashless purchase, making this a truly user-friendly addition to any automated kiosk.

The BUMP is available in two wireless variations. The Standalone BUMP goes anywhere and works independent of other equipment, while the RF BUMP works exclusively with the Coin Free HOUSE payment system. The HOUSE, a central receiving station, can connect with over 200 RF BUMP modules making retrofits for arcades, FECs, bars & shopping malls more affordable.
