Methods, systems and apparatus are provided for facilitating financial transactions using an IC type financial card via a terminal. A user is provided a list of transaction types, such as PIN-based, signature-based, etc., and a requested transaction is processed via a first selected transaction type. If the transaction is unsuccessful, the terminal automatically presents a list of remaining available transaction types from which the user may select and the transaction is processed by the next selected transaction type. If the transaction is successful, funds are provided to the user, such as in the form of currency/coins or funds transfer.
