payment kiosk

Automated billing terminal

A payment kiosk is a freestanding terminal where customers complete transactions without staff assistance—paying bills, purchasing tickets, or settling accounts.

Common in transit stations, parking garages, and retail settings: I fed my credit card into the payment kiosk.

The machines typically accept cards, cash, or both, and issue receipts or printed tickets.
