Prepaid Cards for Families and Children in Care

Stoke-on-Trent City Council is seeking to procure a provider for prepaid cards for use by families and children in care. These cards will replace cash payments and must allow the council to securely manage and reload funds for eligible users. The prepaid cards must have the following functionalities:

• Be reloadable with funds by the council
• Have PIN protection for security
• Allow for council staff to log in and manage top-ups
• Be secure, ensuring transactions are restricted to appropriate purchases
• Provide real-time transaction monitoring and reporting
