Product and Program Specifications
Networking
Service and Support
All Coinstar Centers are networked to our host system
to monitor performance and transaction activity.
Software upgrades are routinely downloaded through
the network to improve customer satisfaction and
machine performance. The network allows the machine
to automatically page a technician if there is a problem,
or notify Coinstar that the coin bins are getting full,
triggering a coin bin pickup.
Coinstar provides local field support to assist you in
making the service available to your consumers at
no cost to the financial institution. All issues requiring
trained support are routed directly to the technician
via the Coinstar network, and all replacement parts
and supplies are provided at no cost to you. Unlimited
free technical support is provided 24 hours a day by
Coinstar – simply pick up the white telephone located
inside the Coinstar machine and you will be connected
via Coinstar’s toll-free number. Timely pickup of your
coin is ensured by automatic notification at each
machine when bins are approaching full status.
Coin Cleaning and De-Jamming
The Coinstar Center is designed specifically for self-service
consumer coin. The patented multi-step cleaning process
ensures that the coin is cleaned, prior to reaching the
counting mechanism, making the units relatively trouble free.
The Coinstar Center automatically clears most coin jams,
while returning uncounted coins back to the user.
Coinstar Back Office Support
Coinstar provides both weekly and monthly customized
accounting reports to you that are machine-specific.
Both transaction and machine performance data are available
at the unit whenever needed. Our office support staff
deposits, via ACH, earned revenue share directly to your
designated account.
The Secure Voucher
The Coinstar voucher is a secure document that
is presented at the teller line by users to obtain cash
reimbursement or deposit the amounts in their
accounts. All voucher paper is inventory controlled
by Coinstar, which employs many patented security
features including bar coding, thermochromatic ink,
scalloped perforation patterning, fluorescent flakes, and
inverse value matching. Your customers’ transactions
are only as secure as the voucher and Coinstar provides
the highest degree of security in the industry.
