BREAD PAYMENT CARD

BREAD Cards work just like a "pay-as-you-go" mobile phone. They can be topped up at over 30,000 locations in the UK with cash at any PayPoint location or Post Office Branch. You can even have your employer pay your wages onto the card. See the topping up your prepaid card section of this website for more details. Because the BREAD Card is a prepaid card, this encourages you to only spend what you have loaded on to the card. When you make a purchase with the card, the purchase amount is deducted from the card balance. When you have spent your money, you need to top it up again before you can use it.
You can view your balance and transaction history online 24 hours a day and even receive the current balance via SMS for FREE.
