Abstract
A value medium dispensing unit having a read/write device for operatively communicating with a user device capable of recording value information includes a housing having an opening on a vertical side, and a read/write device operatively mounted within the opening having a receptor surface that extends at a slanted angle to the vertical side. The receptor surface has a size to enable contact with a user device such as a smart card when it is at least partially inserted within the opening whereby an operative receptor surface is partially recessed within the housing and positioned to facilitate a user interface.
