RFID tags for vending machines are used as electronic purses within the ATM (Automated Teller Machine) market, where there is an automatic dispensing system for products and services.
The two types of RFID tags designed for automated distribution are RFID wristbands for vending machines and RFID key fobs for vending machines. These devices store a spendable credit balance for contactless RFID vending payments, enabling the purchase of the selected product or service.
RFID key fobs and RFID wristbands for contactless vending machine payments operate through an embedded RFID chip that is loaded with prepaid credit. RFID wristbands and key fobs can be used across all vending sectors, which include:
