Self-service terminals have entered villages and towns, lighting up a "new window" for rural life.

       With the advancement of rural revitalization, self-service terminals have gradually entered villages and towns, bringing brand-new changes to the lives of villagers. They have become a "new window" that brightens rural life, enabling villagers to enjoy convenient services right at their doorsteps and bid farewell to the trouble of traveling long distances for handling affairs and paying fees in the past.

       Self-service terminals can often be seen at the convenience service centers or supermarket entrances in villages and towns. For many villagers, they used to have to make a special trip to the business halls in towns to pay water, electricity and gas fees. During busy farming seasons, they even had no time to go there on purpose, and sometimes normal use would be affected due to missing the payment deadline. Nowadays, with self-service terminals, villagers only need to bring their ID cards or payment receipts, follow the prompts on the terminal screen to operate step by step, and can complete the payment in a few minutes. This greatly saves time and energy, and is especially convenient for the elderly in the village and villagers who are not convenient to travel far.

       In addition to daily bill payments, self-service terminals also provide villagers with more practical services. The self-service terminals in some villages and towns support functions such as social security inquiry and pension qualification verification. Previously, villagers had to go to the town-level social security office to check their social security payment status, and also had to make a special trip to handle the pension qualification verification. Now, with self-service terminals, villagers can easily inquire about social security information and complete the pension qualification verification according to the prompts right at their doorsteps, without the need to travel back and forth. This makes government services more accessible to villagers' daily lives.

     The emergence of self-service terminals has broken the temporal and spatial limitations of services in villages and towns. With convenient and efficient services, they bring tangible convenience to villagers' lives, inject new vitality into the development of villages and towns, and enable villagers to feel the better life brought by technology.
