Better ATM TM Services has developed a solution for dispensing Gift cards through ATM machines. Better ATM TM Services’ patented technology enables ATMs to distribute Gift Cards and other prepaid media directly from the cash tray without expensive upgrades, sidecars or other equipment. Interestingly, now you can buy directly gift cards from your credit or debit card instantly and can gift directly without going to any shop or bank to put a request for raising such gift cards. ATMs are configured and licensed to dispense one or more card sheets. Each sheet is comprised of three panels. The card sheet is approximately the same size as international currencies, such as the Danish Kroner. Source: http://www.betteratmservices.com/tech-patents/#prettyPhoto
