How CORE Cashless Runs Parks on One Payment Rail
Amusement
CORE Cashless put top-ups, kiosks, and point-of-sale on one rail tied to the guest's band.
The problem
A day at a park is a dozen transactions: the gate, wristband top-ups, concessions, the arcade. Every one used to route through whatever processor each operator brought along. Cashless only works if the money moves as smoothly as the wristband, and the processing layer was the one part CORE didn't control.
What we did
CORE Cashless builds cashless payment and RFID systems for parks and attractions. With ValPay underneath, top-ups, kiosks, and point-of-sale all settle on one rail, and every transaction ties back to the guest's band. CORE earns on the volume flowing through its own platform, and operators reconcile a park day in one view.
The results
93 parks live on ValPay in the first year, with a 95%+ payments attach rate.
