The use of Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) is growing rapidly as more government programs shift to this efficient, electronic method of distributing benefits. Programs like Food Stamps, Women/Infants/Children (WIC), and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) now issue benefits via an EBT card, which functions much like a debit card. With a secure PIN, cardholders can easily access their funds, and the transaction is electronically authorized—transferring the cardholder’s benefits to the merchant as payment.

  • Widen Your Customer Base: By accepting EBT cards, your business opens its doors to a broader range of customers, including those receiving government assistance.
  • Seamless, Secure Transactions: EBT operates like a debit card, providing fast, secure payment authorization with minimal hassle for both merchants and customers.
  • Future-Proof Your Business: As more government benefits are distributed via EBT, your business will be well-positioned to accommodate the growing number of cardholders.
