Postepay

Postepay is a prepaid card, launched at the end of 2003 and still marketed by the Italian Post Office, which can be used anywhere in Italy (ATM and POS of the Postamat and Visa Electron circuits) and abroad (ATM and POS of the Visa/Visa Electron circuit), on the Internet (in sites that accept Visa and Visa Electron cards) and in all Italian post offices, through the Postamat circuit.

It does not require opening a current account and does not require the existence of a support current account. It can be topped up at the post office in cash, at the Postamat ATMs of Italian Post by debiting the amount on Maestro, MasterCard, Visa and Visa Electron circuit cards, through the Website via a SIM card, through the PosteMobile service, authorized or from SISAL authorized offices. Italian Post also provides an online top-up service.

In 2015, Italian Post declared that it had issued 13.5 million Postepay cards.
