Traditional payment systems 

Operating costs for laundry care in communal laundry rooms are apportioned in accordance with the user-pays principle – securely, fairly and straightforwardly. Schulthess offers the right payment system for every need and makes laundry room billing transparent. Cash or with card? You can choose from two systems

The integrated PrePaid Card system 

homecare-mehrfamilienhaus-zahlungssysteme-Das-integrierte-PrePaid-Card-System-schulthess
The Schulthess PrePaid Card can be loaded by the janitor conveniently with special PC software on the computer or directly at the machine. Its use is contactless and wireless using an RFID chip, which enables reliable data transmission without wear and tear (e.g. of the magnetic strip). The new PrePaid Card system – which can be integrated into all topLine models on request – offers absolute cost transparency at all times: The costs for washing or drying programmes are shown on the display and debited directly from the card. 

PrePaid Card system: Single or twin 

homecare-mehrfamilienhaus-zahlungssysteme-PrePaid-Card-System-Single-oder-Twin-schulthess
The PrePaid Card payment system can either be integrated into a topLine model or retrofitted as a wall-mounted card reader for existing appliances. If you wish to connect two machines, e.g. a washing machine and a dryer, the twin card reader is recommended (can also be combined with a room air dryer). At the same appliance, the janitor can top up the card and programme the consumption tariff individually.

Coin system 

homecare-mehrfamilienhaus-zahlungssysteme-Coin-System-schulthess
Easy to use and reliable in operation, the Schulthess coin-operated machine is still the classic among the payment systems. Tenants can operate the appliances, each of which is connected to a washing machine or dryer, with 10-centime to 5-franc pieces. A display shows the remaining washing und drying time. Of interest to the janitor: The coin-operated machines are easy to programme and the cash boxes are easy to empty. The appliance automatically ejects faulty or defective coins.
