The central controller receives an account balance payment message providing a particular card identifier and a payment value, and stores account balance signals for at least one account, each account being uniquely indexed by a particular card identifier. Account managing means responds to a received authorization request to update the account balance indexed by the card identifier of the authorization request by the current device rate value of the authorization request, and transmits an authorization message to the local controller. The local controller responds to a received authorization message to output a control signal on the control output to control the service device operating control to provide the requested service.
