02

Add or receive money

Cash in at any of 180,000+ merchants. Or have grants, wages, and payments arrive straight to you.

Buy at the shop, send to family, take cash out, or access services — instantly, on any phone.

Ready when you are.

There's no app to download, no minimum balance, no monthly fee just to exist. Walk into your nearest ZonkePay merchant — or tell us where to come to you.
