Our Carers Shopping Cards

For Carers, Professionals and their Clients 

Our Carers Shopping Card service provides a secure and convenient way for carers to access smaller amounts of money to pay for things for the people that they care for. This protects the carer and their clients in a transparent way.

Complete with our accompanying smart-phone App, all transactions and balances can be viewed in real-time whilst receiving payment and other alerts instantly. Account statements can be downloaded online or via the App and we are also able to post account statements via Royal Mail to clients should they prefer.

This is a fully managed service where The Money Carer Foundation team can be contacted directly by clients, their carers, support workers and other professionals to ensure the smooth running of the accounts and assist with new or replacement cards and also deal with general queries. The service can be accessed as either a short term solution to assist with the current challenges presented by the coronavirus or can be ongoing.
