Public sector solutions
Efficiency, control and accountability
Given the flexibility and the efficiency benefits they offer, prepaid cards are set to become an important new payment solution for the public sector. They can also bring many benefits to not-for-profit organisations, such as central and local government agencies, and charities.
Whether you are empowering people to spend on behalf of your organisation, giving people access to the money that's due to them, or distributing public funds, we have a solution. A Barclaycard Prepaid programme can provide a secure, controllable, accountable alternative to other payment methods.
Hitting the targets
We know that public sector organisations are under unprecedented pressure to meet ever-tougher efficiency and accountability targets.
Our prepaid cards enable you to eliminate many of the time-consuming processes that come with traditional payment methods, helping you to meet these targets.
As employers
One of our prepaid programmes can provide a smarter solution for paying your employees, particularly temporary staff, or those without a bank account. Our prepaid cards can also be used to reimburse employee expenses, or to pay allowances.
As administrators
A Barclaycard Prepaid programme can streamline everyday purchasing processes. For example, we could help you to minimise petty cash disbursements, or to create a highly efficient and controllable solution for employees' travel and subsistence payments.
As distributors of public funds
Our prepaid programmes can be used to make payments to individuals who may have limited access to more conventional banking services – for example, under the personalisation agenda.
They are ideal for disbursing either one-off or ongoing payments such as:
- Social care payments
- Housing benefits
- Carer allowances
- Grant payments
- Asylum seeker benefits
