An original architectural illustration shows a route crossing a paved approach, passing a doorway and ending at a terminal. Three numbered stages distinguish approach, entrance and terminal.
A cash visit is a sequence of thresholds. Original editorial illustration; no real place is represented.

ACCESS & ROUTES

An orange route connects arrival, entrance, internal route, interface and completion. Each stage names a different functional access question.
Ask about the complete path. Original conceptual diagram, not a venue accessibility certification.

An accessible visit begins before the screen

Follow the entire path from arrival to controls, cash and departure.

TERMS & EVIDENCE

Four panels assign card instructions and account questions to the card side, equipment functions to the operator, participation evidence to the network source, and public access to the venue.
Roles may overlap, but questions still have different sources. Original editorial responsibility map.

Four organizations. Four different questions.

Match card terms, equipment, network evidence and public access to the right source.

What must this visit account for?

Choose six broad conditions for a fictional or general visit. The result is a logistical checklist, not a live locator, fee calculation, card assessment or instruction to transact.

Read a complete example without the tool

Fictional example: official card and network instructions have been checked privately; the candidate is indoors during an exception window; specific access and denomination requirements matter; no alternative has been established. No real person or place is represented.

  1. Card evidence: keep your current official instructions available privately. A checked source does not establish live terminal status, current venue access, available funds or a guaranteed cost. Follow the terms for your actual card.
  2. Indoor place: confirm the public entrance, the route inside and any restrictions. The host business and the space containing the terminal can have different hours. A locator address is not evidence that the door is open.
  3. Exception window: verify the entrance and surrounding access for the particular off-hours, holiday or changed schedule. Plan where any waiting would happen and preserve a workable departure instead of assuming the daytime route applies.
  4. Access chain: ask functional questions about arrival, the public door, the internal path, controls, information and collecting the output. Verify the features you need without sharing medical details here. A venue icon is not an accessibility certification.
  5. Note requirement: confirm what physical form the intended recipient or task needs. Check available terminal options on arrival; no locator or tool here guarantees a note mix. Do not use repeated withdrawals to guess your way through a denomination mismatch.
  6. No alternative established: choose a stop condition and a reasonable next decision before leaving. That may be a later visit or returning by the known route. Do not turn a failed stop into an open-ended search or repeated transaction attempts.

A completed checklist cannot prove that a venue is open, a machine is working, a card is eligible, or a withdrawal has a particular cost. The reader must check actual conditions and may choose to defer the visit.
