PayPoint contacts local authorities over school meal vouchers

By Liz Wells in Industry News 3rd December 2020

PayPoint is contacting local authorities offering its support to provide families in need with cash instead of supermarket vouchers during school holidays.

PayPoint’s Cash Out solution enables eligible families to receive vouchers via email, letter or SMS and in turn, redeem them for cash in 27,500 convenience retailers across the UK, rather than being limited to specific supermarkets.

Danny Vant said: “We currently provide a cash disbursement service for a number of local authorities across the UK and during the pandemic, many have used our solution as an alternative to school meal vouchers and various winter hardship payments.

“PayPoint has reached out to a number of local authorities to offer support through our i-movo voucher solution and a number of existing local authority clients, using our service for school meal vouchers and other similar cash disbursement programmes, have recommended PayPoint to neighbouring councils.”
