General information

Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) is an electronic system that allows a participant to make purchases using general welfare benefits. For a customer to use EBT for laundromat purchases, their card must be tied to a Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), cash benefits program. Click here to learn more about accepting EBT cards in Laundromats.

For your laundromat to begin accepting EBT, you must meet the hardware and software requirements of your card system. See the information below for more details, and contact CCI if you would like to proceed!

EBT acceptance checklist

1. You must have either a Touch Kiosk or Add-Value Kiosk to accept EBT payments for add-value transactions.

   1. If you have a Touch Kiosk(s), it must be using the VP3300 EMV Bezels (listed below in hardware requirements).

   2. If you have an Add-Value Kiosk(s), it must be using an F2 or F3 reader (touchscreen enabled).

2. You must currently be on (or moved to) the Worldnet credit card gateway.

3. You must open a merchant processing account with ISVPay to accept EBT and EMV (chip) payments.

Processor requirements

In order to accept EBT in your FasCard/FLEX system, you need to be on the gateway processor Worldnet, and you need to be on the payment processor ISVPay. If you are on Worldnet but not currently using ISVPay for your merchant processing, you will need to migrate in order to accept EBT payments. Our support team will assist with the migration to Worldnet and ISVPay.

Gateway pricing

If you are already processing on the Worldnet gateway then no change is required to your gateway account. If a change is required, then Worldnet will replace your current gateway (Authorize.net or Pineapple).

Pricing for the Worldnet payment gateway is included below:

Monthly fee: $15
Fee per transaction: $.07
One-time Setup Fee: $99 (Separate from CCI's setup fee)
EBT Enablement:  $25 per month, unlimited transactions (Collected through ISVPay)
