==Equipment==
A number of devices allowed operation of Mondex cards (transferring value, viewing card balance, locking/unlocking cards, et cetera), to be used for either personal or commercial use:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitachi.co.jp:80/Div/nfs/products/index-E.html |title=Products |access-date=28 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970130142326/http://www.hitachi.co.jp:80/Div/nfs/products/index-E.html |archive-date=30 January 1997 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* A balance reader - small keychain sized device that showed the current balance of a card. This device came with every Mondex card sold, so that customers could have an easy way to keep up with the balance loaded up on their card.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/balance_reader-E.html |title=Key Fob Balance Reader |access-date=28 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970130220912/http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/balance_reader-E.html |archive-date=30 January 1997 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* An 'Electronic Wallet' - calculator-sized pocket device, allowing an individual to look at their card balance and recent transaction information, change PIN and lock their card, and with a 2-slot wallet - transfer funds between cards.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitachi.co.jp:80/Div/nfs/products/wallet-E.html |title=Hitachi Electronic Wallet |access-date=28 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970130142326/http://www.hitachi.co.jp:80/Div/nfs/products/wallet-E.html |archive-date=30 January 1997 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* An IC card reader - a simple computer peripheral which allowed a cardholder to manage their card and make transactions through the internet. It was operated entirely through a computer, and enabled a similar feature set to the electronic wallet when using its companion software.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/IC_card_RW_RS232-E.html |title=IC Card Reader/Writer with RS-232C Interface |access-date=28 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970130221003/http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/IC_card_RW_RS232-E.html |archive-date=30 January 1997 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* A payphone, for use with a Mondex card as a form of payment; some payphones had similar functions to the handheld wallet, and could be used to make transfers and look at balance and transaction history, lock a card and change its PIN. It was also possible to transfer money to and from the bank account linked to the card.<ref name="roger"/>
* A personal landline telephone, with 1 or 2 card slots, for transfers of funds between purses via the phone, or in person through the second card slot. Otherwise, it had a similar feature set to the payphone machines.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/telephone-E.html |title=Mondex Telephone |access-date=28 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970130220955/http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/telephone-E.html |archive-date=30 January 1997 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* A retailer terminal, housing the seller's card and another card slot for the customer's card, and containing a printer and a display. Intended for making transactions at stores as per any other purchase with a normal POS terminal - the customer's card would be inserted into the terminal and the appropriate funds would be transferred to the merchant's card inside. The terminal recorded the latest 300 transactions made with it.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/money_transfer_E.html |title=Mondex Value Transfer Terminal (Stand-Alone) |access-date=28 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970130221025/http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/money_transfer_E.html |archive-date=30 January 1997 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* A 'Cashless ATM' - used like a normal ATM would be, with a Mondex card slot instead of cash withdrawal slot, had a similar feature set to the Mondex-enabled telephones, and like them allowed transfer of funds to and from an associated bank account.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/cashless_atm_E.html |title=Cashless ATM |access-date=28 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970130142326/http://www.hitachi.co.jp:80/Div/nfs/products/cashless_atm_E.html |archive-date=30 January 1997 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
* A 'Value-Box' - a cash-safe equivalent situated at a bank branch, containing large numbers of Mondex cards to facilitate any transfer made between customers and the bank.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/value_box_E.html |title=Mondex Value Box for Multiple IC Cards |access-date=28 April 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19970130221116/http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/value_box_E.html |archive-date=30 January 1997 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
